    In a quandry....Go custom 923A2 or Nice shape HEMTT.....

    Given the choice I'd go HEMTT. Just like any big truck you will get used to it and will be able to whip it around obstacles in no time. Maintenance is a consideration though. Big truck big components. Chances are you won't need to replace anything major and if you do you will probably have to...

    Looking to buy a HMMWV, What do i look for?

    Engine choice sounds pretty clear. Thanks for the help. I think mine is going to be more expensive based on my intended use.

    Welcome from Maryland. Your tires are probably slightly flat spotted. Most military vehicles sit for a long time at some point.

    Looking to buy a HMMWV, What do i look for?

    questions about buying a hmmwv Lets try this again. I have 2 questions about what to look for in a hmmwv. Price and engine. I found a couple for around $18k. These are non restored good condition and around 25k miles. Is this the going rate? Also, do I want the 6.2 or the 6.5? Thanks for any help.

    I hope it's not a problem with the linkage inside the tcase. Does the lever make any difference when you shift it?

    Best way to do a overall paint job ?

    I guess it depends on the need for repaint. Looking well worn and sun kissed is one thing. Looking worn and beat to **** is another. I did mine with house paint and FS-595B color codes. Color was perfect.

    According to the gauges this truck has traveled at an average speed of 102 mph. Does anyone know what the date code on the motor means. It say, I believe "rebuild or remanufacture date" then "8 29". 29th week of 2008 maybe? Thanks for any info.

    I'm thinking about getting the 109 again. I sent the guy a message asking if I could spend a couple hours going over the truck. I want to put in a little wrench time to try and determine causes of some of the problems. It's on a 50 acre farm so it's not like I'd be working in his driveway. I'm...

    I was going to look into a govplanet hmmwv. So am I to understand that those cannot be tagged for on road use?

    Not much with an off-road one. Thanks though. Yeah it's not a bad looking truck. It's just too bad he let it sit and deteriorate.

    Everything is def fixable. The only one that worries me is the misfire. Could be injector, hyd head, valves, head gasket, cylinder wall. I'm not paying retail price to find out. Lol.
