Discover The Most Practical HMMWV Accessories

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 High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle was previously not an armored car though. Humvee was not designed for front battle action as it was only meant to carry soldiers and logistics needed in war zones. It was actually a reinvention of its predecessor, the jeep. Mass transportation amidst a challenging terrain and locality was its purpose of creation.

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.

As Humvees undergone stages of improvements since its use in the Persian War of 1991, many nations also have come up with their own better reinventions. Other designs have adapted advanced security system incorporated into the vehicle. Improvements in design, like front and rear cameras, among other things, are now included. But still nothing bets the charm of the original as the steady line of collectors is consistently increasing.

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.

One good thing with Humvees are their flexibility. Since its use back in 1991, many renovations already were accomplished. Other countries made their own version in order to compensate the lacking in the design of the original. Advanced security and other electronic system have been incorporated into the vehicle. But still no modern design can match the beauty of a classic truck.

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.

For extra comfort, owners may install rubber mats inside and on the deck behind for padding protection of items and passengers. Surround LED may also be added. Mud flaps for crossing flood prone areas is also an ideal upgrade.

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.
