Slant Back Installed

Post by dilvoy » Sat Mar 10, 2018 12:09 pm

Just finished up an old school slant back installation onto an M998A0. Just need to install the gas struts for the cargo hatch and the little water shields at the forward bottoms of the sponsons. I have never done this to a Humvee that I had driven for quite a while so as to be able to notice any differences, but it seems quieter and fast city street cornering is affected a bit, but not too much. I love watching those fancy European sports cars drop back to watch me spin out, but it never happens. Humvees handle extremely well for what type of vehicle they are, unless the road is wet. Now I need to get the whole thing painted so everything matches.

Looks good George. Consider changing tires to mtr or baja to maintain traction. Also, get posi or a locker!

I love the fact that you carry on such shenanigans within the city. Keep on keeping on.
