    M1025A2's who bought one of the 8

    And the number of GMVs that have actually sold are fewer than it may appear. Case in point, lot 1 sold this week for the second time this year.

    Picking up an MEP-803A from an Army depot

    The guys working that lot are great to deal with. I have been there 10+ times. They will forklift it onto your truck no problem. I have a mint 803A that went through a full rebuild that I am putting up for sale. PM if interested.

    M1025A2's who bought one of the 8

    The closest to creampuff you are going to find are some of the 1123s coming up for auction out of Yermo. Check out the pics of the 1123 that just sold for ~$23K this past weekend. Full rebuild. The underside was immaculate. You got to pay to play. These 1025s definitely need a little TLC...

    Yermo - small item pick up and ship request

    Howdy, Gents. Is anyone doing pick up and ship out of the Gov Planet site in Yermo? I have 4 smallish items that will fit on one pallet that I need retrieved, strapped to a pallet and dropped off at Fastenal or other convenient shipping option. Thanks in advance!

    M1097A2 Brake Pads/Shoes?

    Brake pad and brake shoes are two different things. Last time I checked, Humvees do not have drum brakes. Eastern’s prices are always ridiculous.

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Not true. I have an M998-MOD that once housed the Avenger platform.

    GOVPLANET/USMC latest EUC times?

    The GMVs are Army, so separate EUC workflow than the USMC humvees.

    Where can I steal oil flow and pressure from on a 6.2 block?

    I have a very nice 1500 mile complete Turbo 6.5/4L80e/NP242 drivetrain for sale in the NYC area. I also have most of the ancillary items need for the swap. PM me if interested.

    Packing and Shipping Chambersburg PA and Las Vegas

    I am looking for freight consolidation/prep/shipping out of Las Vegas as well. Hopefully a trustworthy option pops up soon now that GP is finally auctioning off parts in meaningful quantity and frequency.

    Adding x-doors to M1043A2

    I am running into a similar issue with my M1123A2 that had heavy doors as part of the MAK armor kit. My issue is the extra holes for the piano hinges were crudely drilled out and I am not confident the factory door hinge holes exist in their original configuration any longer. I am hoping a...

    RED BALL MILITARY VEHICLE MEET Sept. 21st &22nd

    Saturday was pretty slow for foot traffic and from a seller’s standpoint. Thursday and Friday were the big days.

    Looking at hmmwv for tow rig

    The short answer is yes. Do not waste your time on a 998. Go for a good condition A2. They are a much better starting point

    USMC diesel motorcycle sold on GovDeals. 2003 Kawasaki KL650-A17

    They are 100% Kawasaki KLR 650, except for the engine and aftermarket fuel tank. Headlight assemblies are from a KLR 250. Congrats on the win.

    Goodyear MT/R Tires Safety Message

    And if the last set of numbers only has three numbers, it is probably time for a new set of tires regardless of The brand or model. They switched to the 4 digit date code in 2000. I picked up a couple of M1102s this week and the tire warning notice was attached to one of them. The struggle is...

    New from Long Island

    Welcome and congrats. There are definitely at least a few of us on the Island. Your best bet is to get a new top/frame/door package from Breton Industries. I have a bunch of NOS parts sitting in my warehouse that need to see the light of day again should you need any.

    HMMWV Half Shafts

    Yes, it matters as a lot of the knock off junk on ebay is not even MILSPEC. It is not just a quality issue, a lot of the chicom parts do not even fit.

    HMMWV Half Shafts

    I have true NOS 10K L/F and R/F halfshafts available for interested parties. Made in the good old USA. :D

    M998 speed (or lack of it)

    In an attempt to counter some of the dbag responses, I will attempt to provide some useful info. As you have surmised, no, 40 MPH is not normal. Your best bet it to buy a humvee with a 6.5L/4L80e combo. The slight bump in HP ( especially from the GEP engines), a fourth gear and park make a world...
