Last year was a huge success, and we want to top that this year.

So spread the word…we know how great the Hummer family is when it comes to helping out the community and particularly when it comes to children’s needs, so we are reaching out to you once again to spread the word and to help ‘Max’s Ring of Fire’.

This year Maxx’s Ring of Fire and Touch a Truck will be at Qualcomm Stadium.   For the 4th annual Touch a Truck and 3rd annual  MaxRun 5K benefiting kids fighting cancer.   Together we can all do more for our kids with cancer, as well as give San Diego a way to support kids fighting cancer during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month (September).

Last year, Max’s  Run and Touch a Truck was a huge success!!  ’Touch a Truck’ raised over $40K to fight childhood cancer.    This year they will have the run ending up at Qualcomm where Touch a Truck will take place.

We are looking forward to having NSW and MARSOC at Touch a truck this year. The kids will get the chance to see LTATVs, Swift boats, 5 Ton and 7 Ton vehicles, they will also have MATVs.  There will be more exciting events to be announced closer to the event.

Don’t miss out, last year was so much fun.  The kids were able to climb all over the vehicles and see them up close.  This year is going to be bigger and better.

Please mark your calendars for September 29  Qualcomm Stadium 10-3

We hope to see you there!

We are always happy to see a completed project. It’s even better to see the Client smile EAR TO EAR when they come to pick it up!   We have pictures, but I promise seeing it in person is so much better! This truck is sure to turn heads!

THE BREAK DOWN:

Let’s start with the paint job. Face it, a solid paint job can make any vehicle look smoking. And this was no exception! We went with a Metallic Pewter (Am General Color Code P33).  It was the perfect color to match the cool and collected nature of the client. It really makes the additional accessories pop! Here at Predator we take pride in completing the job correctly the first time. We did a full breakdown and re-assembly of this H1 that included but not limited to:

  • Removing  Front Windshields and Gaskets
  • Replace with new gaskets
  • Removing  of Door Gaskets and Replaced with new Door Gaskets
  • Color Sand and Buff
  • Replace all Hummer Badges
  • Brand New Door Seals

To make this paint job even better we had a BUNCH of exterior upgrades. Check it out!

  • Predator  Search and Rescue 10` Roof  Rack
  • Predator  Search and Rescue Rear Bumper with 8,000Ib Winch  w/ Ladder and Light Rack
  • Predator  Search and Rescue H1 Front Winch Bumper
  • Predator  Search and Rescue Tire Carrier
  • Predator  Rock Rails
  • LED Light Bar Package  – Rigid Industries 50″ LED light
  • Rigid Industries 20″ E Series LED light bar (Spot/Flood)
  • H1 2″ Suspension Light Kit Black Anodized
  • Wheel Rock Guard
  • Direct Flow Hood Scoop  – Gloss BLK

Enough about the outside, what about the Interior you Say?

  • JVC DVD/Navigation Double DIN
  • Custom Designed Bezel For Double DIN Stereo
  • Modified  Madera Wood Grain to fit the Head Unit
  • Installed A/C Controls
  • Custom Center Jump Seat Cover
  • FLIR Camera and Bracket
  • 4 Person internal Communication System
  • VIPER Smart Start GPS
  • Viper Alarm System

Tech Notes with Dan – Up Lift Pump

Tech Notes : Lift Pump
The Hummer or H1 Hummer uses an uplift pump to help get fuel to the injection pump from the fuel tank. There is no pump in the fuel tank. This pump can be found in one of two locations depending on the year of your vehicle. Most often the pump is located at the rear of the engine compartment on the drivers side. The pump may also be located along the frame rail near the passenger door. The pump is mounted in a rubber sleeve to dampen the vibration during use. When you turn the key on, the pump is energized and runs for approximately 10 seconds and then turns off. After the engine is started the pump runs all the time. We found several years ago that the pump does not keep up with demand. We saw the pressure gauge actually go to zero. Several years ago at the Hummer Home Coming at AM General, I was talking to a representative and he told me that AMG use to have a pump that would keep up with the pressure and volume needed. He said he didn’t know why they went to a lower volume pump. He also stated that if we had a better gauge we would actually see it go to a negative two pounds of pressure. This tells me that the Injection pump is doing all the work. On our different Stage upgrade kits we include a new uplift pump to help the injection pump out.

Tech Notes with Dan – Q&A Water Fording

August 1, 2012, 4:28 pm

Welcome back for another Tech Note. This article is a bit different. Dan received a great question and decided to share the answer with you. Enjoy!

Question:

I have heard that a civilian H1 will ford water up to 30in deep. I see videos where the H1 has water going over the hood. What modifications are required for deep water fording other than the snorkel?

Answer:

That is a very good question. First of all most of the military HMMWV’s are approved up to 30″. Some of the vehicles are approved up to 60″ with fording kits. The fording kit has a valve located by the drivers knee that shuts off the radiator fan and the vent to the wheel hubs, transmission and transfer case. The exhaust is extended up the left hand side of the vehicle. All of the electrical connectors are totally sealed and the engine does not have an ECM (Engine Control Module). The TCM (Transmission Control Module) is located in a water proof box to keep water out. A manual throttle is used so the driver can keep his head out of the water. The HMMWV is made to sink to maintain traction, so all drain holes are left open.

When AMG made the Hummer,  creature comforts were added that should not get wet. This includes : upholstery, interior, electrical harnesses and connectors, radios, and Etc. I hope this answers your question. I have seen pictures of Hummers with water over the hood (I’ve been there) and this is usually for very short time. For example, crossing a stream or splashing in a puddle. It is a lot of fun.

HUMVEE! Start your Engines! Humvee C-Series Kit Car

AM General Storms back into the Market with the HUMVEE C-Series Kit Car.

AM General blows the dust off and is jumping back into the civilian market with the HUMVEE C- Series Kit Car. This turn of events will allow customers to build a street legal HUMVEE!  The Kits comes with a rolling chassis (probably the 2006 Alpha), and the only thing you need to get the wheels rolling is a engine and transmission etc (on your own). This allows AM General to get around the EPA emissions standards and U.S. Government safety regulations that played a huge role in shutting down the HUMMER H1 productions several years ago.

All reports about the C- Series Kits state that it will come pretty basic.  Even though they are marketing the HUMVEE  on the civilian side, it will lack some of the creature comforts that Hummer H1 owners are used too. We have received  mixed reports but it looks like it will be downgraded interior trim. Lacking power doors and locks, door-mounted mirrors, hard doors, and even glossy paint.  C-Series will have a 4 seat configuration, soft top and soft doors.  Keep in mind , it’s a HUMVEE not the HUMMER.

We are super excited about the C-Series, this is right up our alley! Big plans are on the table for custom Predator packages.  With the C-series being so basic, it leaves TONS  of room for our Research and Development department to dive in and create some smoking custom work. With that type of freedom, every HUMVEE C- Series Kit Car leaving Predator will be unique.

Last week Predator partner with Datron World Communication’s to support the Senior Experience Program at California State University – San Marcos.

The Senior Experience Program matches teams of students with projects submitted by local businesses and organizations. Students gain by working as consultants on rigorous, real-world projects that require teamwork and application of classroom knowledge. Businesses gain by receiving concentrated attention from bright, energetic teams that provide a fresh, independent look at their projects. Each student team works under the supervision of a faculty member.

Team G.I. Jane, 5 female accounting majors with no tactical , off road, and/or military experience , was giving a project to research, examine and recommend the best vehicle for Datron’s needs. They quickly went from ZERO experience in the off road world to being Subject Matter Experts in Vehicle platforms and capabilities in 6 months! Heidi from Team G.I. Jane and Roger Gillespie From Datron made a site visit to Predator. They came with the knowledge that the H1 was the best vehicle platform to move forward with to match their mission requirements. When Heidi ask if we would support Team G.I Jane, we knew we had to help take their final project to the next level.

Check out this Duramax H2 with a custom 2 tone paint job. It was actually one of the first flat paint jobs seen on a show truck and was debuted at the 2005 SEMA show. The base color is flat black with a flat clear with all the lower trim panels smoothed and painted gloss black. The custom forged billet aluminum 24″ rims are insane and came in about 45 minutes prior to the truck being loaded for SEMA. Talk about cutting it close! The H2 was converted to a Duramax Diesel engine with the Alison 5 speed transmission for the ultimate in performance, fuel economy, longevity and drive ability.

Check out our friend Charles and his adventures in his 1985 USMC HMMWV.

Charles put his HMMWV through the wire and definitely has gotten “bang for his buck”. After finding his chariot on Ebay, the allure of owning a true American iconic vehicle was the driving force to purchase her sight unseen. He started their relationship by driving her daily for 10 years! Truely becoming intimate with the inner workings of his HMMWV, he has probably turned every bolt on her atleast twice!

Charles, accompanied with friends, answers the call for offroad adventure several times per year. They head to Rausch Creek Offroad Park in Tremont, PA atleast 2-3 times a year. In May of 2011, they were exploring a new part of the park that had a bunch of manmade obstacles used for rock crawling event. One in particular caught his eye because a bunch of modified Toyota pickup’s were maneuvering around it. He decided to toss in a little “Good ole American Muscle” and conquered the hill! The Shear drop off on either side, and the lack of visibility of the obstacles in front and to the rear of his HMMWV, It definitely made the adventure more “interesting”. In Fact his 4 tires barely fit!!! Check out a few pictures below from his latest adventure.
