    HMMWV Open Market Purchase Price - Not Auction

    What do you think the real market value is for an HMMWV today? Without the ability to make them road-legal, you have limited the market to just people wanting hunting vehicles, maybe agricultural uses, and recreation uses like a dune buggy perhaps. The Dallas/Fort Worth Craigslist has three...

    HMMWV Doors - Hard or Soft?

    My V came sans-doors... So now I am starting the process of seeing who sells doors, and how much they cost.. Looks like my options are hard "X" doors or soft doors. Are the hard doors worth the premium? Seems like these trucks aren't exactly weather/water/wind proof by design and soft doors...

    I see connections for brakes on the A3 or A2 that look like air brakes like a big rig? Does this have air brakes that lock without air being supplied to it? I need to be able to tow it with a civilian 3/4 ton truck with no air brakes obviously.

    Where To Spray Ether In The Motor To Get It Started

    My EUC is clear. I am GTG and am heading to get my HMMWV. The description said that they had to use ether to start the motor. I'm not familiar with the 6.2 (other than knowing the awesome reputation of it). Is there a port somewhere on the air intake that I should shoot ether into prior to...

    I seem to find the dimension of 71" on-line, but I wanted to ask. I won a HMMWV at auction and I have a car hauler with side rails. I want to be sure before I drive to the base that the HMMWV will fit on the hauler width wise... Thanks!
