I read somewhere - it might have been on this board - that a used HMMWV body can be had for $1,000. Is that true? The NSN for the new A2 bodies lists for about $9,500 and eBay auctions have used M998 ones listed for $6,000 - $15,000. I sure would like to know where I can get the body alone...

So in summary: Early model H1s (1992 + ) were actually more suited for off road use than their military counterparts during the same period (1984 - 1995) But, in 1995, the military A2 humvees started adopting many of the mechanical features of the H1s of previous years, while the H1s (1995 +...

That would make for a really nice color on a vehicle. I was actually just looking at airforce photos of jets and transport aircraft wondering if the gray would look good on a humvee.

From purely a performance and durability point of view, if we took a 1995 H1 and a 1995 HMMWV (any variant), would there be any difference between the two? Now, I know that the A2 series and later the A2 ECVs got a different body and some upgrades to the suspension, frame and body. So, would...

Let's see if I can demonstrate my humvee prowess.... That looks like an M1152 with the Frag 6 kit?

Was there ever a case when an item that requires mutilation was not mutilated and the buyer was allowed to leave the lot with the item intact?

Farts and flames are not a good combination. So I'm told.

"Forum Rules", the entry located between "User CP" and "FAQ" at the top? Yes. I have read it. Some of the vehicles and accessories we discuss on this website are going to be inevitably used with other non-military vehicles. I would think. For example, would it be inapporopritae to ask if...

Are non-military vehicles a taboo topic on SS, or can we discuss other vehicles? I just don't want to be chased out of town for asking an SUV or sedan related question.

Alright, now I see what they did there. It's not the trailers but the towing vehicles. I get it. TedG, I'm not sure I understand what you mean by 3 MWOs.

I have looked at the parts list of both trailers and there doesn't seem to be any difference between the two. So, how is it, that one is rated to carry about 2,000 lbs, while the other is rated to carry close to 3,000 lbs?

As a novice to this forum, I have noticed that many members either own or are looking to purchase an M35. But, I'm a bit unclear as to why it's so popular. Is it a collectors item for many, or is it just a good truck to haul stuff? I almost feel like I should surrender to peer pressure and...

AM General's website states that Optimum Vehicle Logistics is their exclusive distributer of HMMWV parts and accessories in the Middle East. They have bumper to bumper parts in their inventory. Reading through OVL's website, I found no mention of restrictions on part sales like AM General...

The government's justification for banning the Jeep and later the HMMWV for civilian use is supposedly the higher chance of rollover than passenger cars. But, that doesn't make sense and it won't be the first time. 8-) If rollover is the main concern, then how is it that the Hummer H1 is deemed...

I was entertaining building an HMMWV, so I'm curious, are you saying that parts alone would cost 40K if one buys them new separately? Or is labor figured into that number?

If the winner of this lot is reading this post, could you contact me via PM? I'm interested in one of the items and would be more than happy to take it off your hands for a reasonable price.

Marti and Philip, thank you for your input. I'm going to go ahead and buy it then. Joe, to answer your question, I don't have a picture, sorry. But, it's safe to say that the fire consumed the interior of the vehicle. The dash, seats, fabric, vinyl and steering wheel have all been reduced to...

I might be getting a good price on a truck I'm interested in due to an interior fire. But, before I go ahead I wanted to get your opinions on the matter. The frame shows no visible signs of warping, in fact the exterior, the engine and undercarriage were unaffected by the fire. The interior...
