They're out there -- there's usually a couple on eBay at any given time. Various states of repair, but it seems to range from about $7k for a collection of parts to $30k+ for great running examples.

If you lived in WI, I'd recommend buying an H1 and modding it, as the DMV is outright blocking all MV registrations. Since you're in Indiana, you can probably build whatever you want! Have fun!

Yes, if you wanted to build an authentic one, it'd be heavy and expensive. But if you're just faking it and have access to a metal shop, you should be able to do just fine. Also, building it with sheetmetal or aluminum, you should be able to keep the original engine and suspension. The...

I just saw a thread on hummernetwork about this item -- they said you could take it off, clean it out, and reinstall it. Thread was titled "What is this?" and had some updates this week. Quotes below: I ordered one from Hummer Parts Guy. I think it was $37.50 plus shipping. You can get...

Good point from SETOYOTA -- and given that you won't have lockable doors, glove box, or any other such niceties, you're probably best off carrying your boom box for a sound system. Ideally go for an aircraft intercom system that you can plug an Ipod into -- noise cancellation plus sound...

Looks great, and there are some great deals out there with the economy where it is. BUT -- the golden rule applies -- only buy what you can afford, or your bank will be auctioning it for you later and you will be crying. There are almost always a couple HMMWVs on eBay and places like it. Take...

Just download the TM (tech manual) for it... Or pay someone $10 for a bunch of them on CD-ROM.

I think it's also worth mentioning that if you find something close to what you want, anything else can be added easily, and anything you dislike can be removed just as easily later. :deadhorse:

Amen about the oil company -- I'm hoping to run mine on homemade biodiesel one day.

The demil requirement is similar to the reason some states don't allow registering military vehicles for on-road use -- either just because they can, or because someone is afraid of a lawsuit. Technically it's a weapon system, so they don't want you to have it, or don't want to be held liable...

Don't hold your breath with the WI DMV. I showed up with a valid California title to transfer and they refused to convert it. I took it all the way to the "expert" in Madison and they said no way. As much as I dislike it, I recommend having an out-of-state friend or relative title and...

Nice -- I hope you get the output power you're looking for. The biggest problems with LED's so far are light output and heat buildup -- hope you're using high-output LED's and hope they don't get too hot. Keep those resistors as far from the LED's as possible. It'll be fun to see how it works!

Now there's a posting on the G503 website advertising new HMMWV bodies in Hesperia, CA for $6900 each. Capitalism at its finest....

$35k... Wow... I guess if you're made of money, you really CAN get just about anything!

A close relative of the Wench! ;)
