Yeah it is, I mean yeah I could've spent more on one that didn't need as much work and was operational but I didn't want to have a bidding war with other guys on the auction site. I looked for one when the time was almost up, this one had only 1 bid so I said why not and placed a bid on it and I...
I won the bid for $5250 and when the tax and the titling fees were all said and done it came out to be $6236. I have a buddy with a flatbed so we're going to go down to Virginia to pick it up once the EUC is all cleared.
Great! Thank you so much! Hopefully it has a mount and if not I'll buy them separately. I do have a question though... I want to keep it with the soft top in the back how it is currently, now with the normal mount such as this one: would I still be able to put the whips towards the front if I...
Yeah that's what my friend and I were just talking about, we want to see what's operational and what's not, and to only get the mandatory things that are needed. And yeah you guessed it, personally I have no experience working on a diesel. However, I do have some kind of experience working on a...
I hate when that happens! There's always that "one" person that thinks they know what their talking about and they really have no clue. Haha. It would be cool to have it working and all but for now I think I want them more for looks. I can't believe that each would be $295, that's probably...
LOL wow, at that point I would rather have some kind of replica if there was one. I bet if I called to place an order they would be like "are you part of the military?". I can't believe you want four of them dang! I would be able to get into pretty much any frequency at that point. :-D
Thank you, yes I've been looking into these! It's a bit of a task trying to find them, and I wish there were a few sellers offering them in pairs it would make it easier.
Yeah this is probably my best option to do at this point. The main things I'm going to order soon is the rear driveshaft and new fuel tank (to see if it even runs with what visually it needs and from what it told me on the inspection report). Of course, the fluids will all need to be drained as...
I want to work on it myself, but I just don't want to screw up. Maybe I'm just over thinking, I'll just have a better understanding with what I'm up against once I have it. I'm a Criminal Justice student, so this is like a side job for me. Maybe it's all of this research and information I'm...
However, I ultimately would like to bring this Humvee to a shop to be worked on, but I have no clue where to go... I live in North Jersey. Does anyone know any places close by that would be intrested? It really doesn't matter where because I have a readily available flatbed. Either I find a good...
Yeah that's my plan as of now, that's why I'm trying to find and compile a list of what I want. I'm going to be ordering the materials soon. As stated above in Scottsburg, VA
Hey guys I have a few questions regarding whip antennas. I want to have dual whips, however I've been looking for the appropriate materials needed for them and I come up empty handed. I would like to know the the specifics of what I will need, down to every little nut and bolt. The farthest I...
Very valid points. I'm coming into this knowing that I'm going to have to replace a good amount of parts. I think ultimately that's the fun of owning one of these great vehicles. Hopefully once I have it everything will work once I replace the fuel tank, rear driveshaft, etc... but we'll see...
Wow, looks great! That's the same theme I want to do with my Humvee. Also, I want to get two whip antennas for mine, could you direct me where to buy them and the other materials such as the brackets? One more thing, I like those headlights too could you direct me to them as well?
Thank you!
Thanks guys for the extremely valuable responses! I feel very welcomed here. Yes, I will admit I didn't read the fine print in regards to having to wait for the EUC before I picked the Humvee up, now I know. In regards to the up-armored doors, I wasn't sure if those were hard to find or not, I...
Hello from NJ!
Hey guys, joined the forums because I just purchased a 1987 M998 Humvee. Looking for some advice as to what I should replace or look for once I get hold on it. I also want to keep everyone on track with my build!
All the best,
