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 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.

The truck in the first place is not a luxury type. And is not air conditioned like its predecessor, the jeep. Although it does the same roles, it has more versatility as it is a compact loader, and a whole lot more. The overall design of the vehicle is actually what the collectors are dying for.

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.

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.

And as domineering as the HMMWV can be when it comes to appearance, it is the most mobile of all vehicles that might have existed. Transporting it from one place to another by the aid of a helicopter is very possible because of many hooks strategically attached to the front and rear locations of the truck. Indeed, a vehicle like this is worth an investment.
