Many Practical HMMWV Accessories To Choose From

By Joseph Jackson


Truck lovers usually own more than one type. And most of them dream of owning a beast as tough as an armored car. Gladly, a lot of military truck surplus, like a Humvee, came into the market for private collection. Owners now enjoy the pride of flaunting this monster truck in public. And the search for the best HMMWV accessories and improvements to adorn this highly prized catch, has always been a never ending talk among owners.

The proudest owner holds many trucks. But even the most modest collectors with less than three vehicles, may stand with wider grin if they own the beast. Yes, a Humvee, for many people, is a monster truck. It fits for a battle zone.

Fortunately, many war torn surplus of trucks can be found from many dealers. Some items may not actually have made it to the Gulf but who cares when the mere sight can already spark a wildest imagination. Plus the many accessories to be added magnify the already dominant appearance of them.

These High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles were just basic transportation truck in placement of the traditional jeep used by soldiers. The trucks were intentionally used for mass mobilization of troops with their firearms and equipment. The original types are not armored as they were not to face upfront battles. These are reinventions meant for difficult terrains and intense response of actions.

Other devout owners leave the original troop seat, and, instead, enhance the flooring by installing a half inch thick rubber mats. To protect the deck behind, a lining can be added, which also good for extra protection of items and hitchers. Additional light bars and sun visors are also better enhancements for more comfort.

The most wonderful part of the truck that is fun to manipulate is its steel doors which are retractable. Original Humvees are not air conditioned, of course, because they are designed for most difficult situation and location. And thus, doors can be pulled out for more easy accessibility and for plenty of air ventilation.

After pulling out the door, the seats inside can also be adjusted for maximum capacity and utility. Tons of goods can be put inside as the car can carry nearly four tons of weight. And not to mention the bed of deck behind for additional space for goods and hitchers.

Many owners even succeeded in improving the steering wheel as some of these are already uncomfortable for drivers. Tire carrier and mud flaps are also the necessary accessories as Humvees are driven on rugged pavements and challenge flooding like rivers. Others also add the interiors with extra seats and rubber floor mats. Extra light bars for grabs are also useful.

Sun shields for windows and visors for hitchers and fragile goods situated backside are another wise upgrades. Added padding and lining on the metal deck should also in the checklist. And there are more many accessories as Humvees are fun to play around with improvements for most expansive purposes.
