Yeah, I was looking at Breton. I’d love a hardtop but they are so darn expensive. Makes me want to learn how to weld aluminum and make one myself. I’m close to Columbus Ga so I’m keeping my eye open on FB and CL.

Still talking about hmmwv’s? 😂 I know materials seem ok right until they fail but the engine didn’t seem overly stressed.

The odd thing is, it shifted at one point at almost 60. Not sure if someone changed the gearing or shift points. Does that tag definitely mean it’s the 3 speed?

Here is the shifter but it doesn’t have a park. This is the tag that I saw on the side.

Yeah. I just hope I don’t get screwed over at the dmv. I absolutely hate government bureaucracy. I have a GA title in my hand that shows the body style as a truck, diesel and 8 cylinders. That’s not a trailer.

Well this afternoon has been really crappy, I’ve spent 4 hours at the revenue office and they say it comes up as a trailer even though they have the Georgia title in their hands. They are going to call me tomorrow and give me a “determination” if they can title it. This all despite the fact I...

Hey All, I just got back from picking up my Hmmwv, being on a highway for 6 hours is not the ideal use of it. Haha. Here are some pics: The top is in rough shape, anything I can do to patch it until I get a new top? Also,is there any rust converter that works better than others? Not...

Thanks. I really hope this goes through, it has been a dream of mine to own a Hmmwv or a h1. The guy said it didn’t have a dual generator but I just saw in the video that it does! That’s going to save me some headache and money.

Am I going to have trouble with a 6 digit vin? The guy just gave me the vin for insurance and I saw it’s only 6 digits instead of 16.

Ok, thanks. I know I’m a newb but I appreciate all the help guys. Can’t imagine posting something like this on like Pirate, I’d be roasted in 2 seconds. Haha Glad I held off, I almost bought a 4bt tj earlier this year.

Sorry, thought I hit the share button. Here it is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FDbVWBzWDZUi8ezRgaf9yTqy6XPbNUx6/view?usp=drivesdk

This is the one I’m thinking of buying, anything you can tell from the start or engine noise? I know gas engines, never owned a diesel. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FDbVWBzWDZUi8ezRgaf9yTqy6XPbNUx6/view?usp=drivesdk

I’m in Auburn, not sure where you’re at. If I pick up the 6.5, I’m not so sure how much money I’ll have for a bit with whatever odds and ends I’ll need. I’d love to get a 4l80e to get the overdrive but I’m not sure how much it would cost for the transmission and controller even if labor was...

I just need to find a buddy in central Alabama. Haha. I’ve never dropped an engine and tranny before, I’ve seen videos and it doesn’t seem too hard but I would be nervous doing it myself. I also am in an apartment until I can find a house I like so there’s that as well.

I saw that, it looks like there’s no window, one seat and took the winch, at least compared to the other ones at 15k. It would take a lot to get it where I need it to be but I am tempted.

I probably will, I think it’s too good of a deal to pass up. It seems solid, I just have to drive 4 hours away..... What control box is necessary to make the 6.5 work with the 4 speed? In Alabama, a lot of girls get tingly with vehicles like these. Haha. Daddy issues or just the vibrations? 😄

Haha, yeah. I don’t think it would be a bad investment as long as nothing horribly goes wrong, most things I can do myself. I will NEVER understand why people buy such expensive atv’s or those mahindras when you can buy something like this or a good TJ.

No, SF’s stripped everything, literally 1-2 seats and that’s it. It has a hardtop with a spot for a turret but I’d have to also get a covering for $500. Part of me just wants to get the $11k since I can keep it for awhile and then upgrade to some of the newer versions with the updated nose and...

Haha. As long as I also get some girls that ask for rides I’ll be ok with the other people bothering me. I’m honestly struggling to deceive on if I should go with the m998 with the 3 speed for $11k or if it’s worth it to pay another 4k for a m1025a2, it has the better suspension, engine and...

Yes and that’s extremely expensive, especially done by someone else. I don’t think I have time right now for that much of a project, an add-on turbo is a lot easier. I am looking at getting a m998 6.5 non turbo for $11k, seems to be solid. I can also just keep it until some of the newer styled...
