Angry Buying a New HMMWV

I had a deposit on a new HMMWV for many months from a guy in SO Cal who essentially takes old parts and new parts, and puts them together on a recovered frame and makes new HMMWV's. However, after many delays and waiting 10 months, he's got new problems and the deal falls through. He wants to return the money...

I don't really understand WTF is going on, but I do know that, I just want a rebuilt HMMWV with the strengthened frame and extended radiator/nose and 6.5 turbo. Does anybody know of anyone else doing such restoration/rebuilds. He surely can't be the only one.

If you have any ideas/contacts, please pass them along.

I'm not an expert, but have you tried Kascar Reall 4WD. He sells parts etc and he advertises that he has HMMWV for sale, but the link on his website doesn't seem to work. Probably would have to call them. He might be able to put something together for you, but I have no idea what it would cost. More than I have... Good luck in your search.

So... I'm a bit confused, are you looking for a HMMWV to do the work on now yourself (or have done), or do you strictly need to find one where the work is complete.

Seriously? I spent a ton with them last year when I restored my MV. What prompted that change?

As opposed to a irregular civilain? I think most of would fall into that catagory with exceptions of those of us (like myself) still on active duty.

If you have a LARGE bucket of cash you can try Clark Trucks. They don't have anything cheap though.

any part solely for used for the HMMWV Kascar will not sell. A part used on both the Hummer and the HMMWV they will sell to civilians. Here is a quote on thier web page real4wd.com

NOTICE!... KASCAR® will sell military parts to military customers ONLY!
