CONGRATS!![thumbzup] Pictures??!!???

$37K!!??!? Wow!! I'm in shock..... :shock:

The drop-sdie beds are harder to find, thus the price premium. Both prices are not unreasonable, depending on condition.

Here's a few items to look for: Vulnerable areas are ball joints, tie rod ends, front springs (sag), CV joints & boots... Check the undercarriage for hard impacts from heavy off-roading, especially the a-frames & the frame cross-members (the front-most cross-member usually takes the most...

:ditto:Agreed!! rofl

In addition to the info you'll find here on SS, take a look at this site for tech info & parts vendors, AND some Classifieds... Hummer Knowledge Base [thumbzup]

As a price point reference, I've seen nice H1 Hummers go for as little as $20K-$22K, and I recently saw a nice Gasser H1 sell locally for only $16K (I still kick myself for missing out on that one!!). I paid $25K for mine, but it was an exceptionally clean and well-equipped low-mileage 6.5L NA...

Well those are all good points "SETOYOTA". But I bought my H1 to drive & use... :driver: so I really don't care about what the value will be in 20 or 40 years. (I'll be lucky to still be kickin' in 40 years!!) I initially looked at HMMWVs, but the prices seemed overinflated to me. But once I...

Amazing to me that the price of a running Military HMMWV is often higher that the price of a Civilian Hummer. At first I wanted to find/buy a HMMWV, but after I discovered what kind of $$ were gonna be needed to obtain one in good running & physical condition I instead opted for a Civi Hummer...

Here's the IR/Laser Thermometer Gun that I bought at HarborFreight for checking the running gear temps on my MVs.... Non-Contact Laser Thermometer GREAT TOOL for checking the temps of your hubs, diffs, xfercase, trans, etc. Allows you to catch problems before they get TOO COSTLY!! At this...

Lucky! Lucky!.. Lucky! Lucky!.. Lucky! Lucky!.. Lucky! Lucky!.. Lucky! Lucky!.. Lucky! Lucky!.. :-D

congrats on the M135! Can't wait to see the pics.... So let me be the first to say... nopics (sorry dude! someone just had to say it!!) <LOL>

No crush sleeve from what I remember... Measuring slack w the dial indicator sounds like a good idea. (I relied on the "touchy feely" method, AND my IR gun to verify the running heat build-up.) One thing to remember is that many of the afternarket repair parts used here have different...

Thanks GimpyRobb! But I ended up NOT buying the 5-ton that I was considering. BUT IF I do pick up a different one I'll get in touch w you. -Bear-

GREAT ARTICLE!! Q: For the Pre-99 6.5L engines are there any that are more prone to failure than others? Specifically, I have a '95 Hummer w a 6.5L non-turbo. Would this NA engine have a better chance of surviving than a turbo equipped model? Is there a mileage where the failure typically...

<LOL> rofl

Guessing that it is simply just a piece of reflective tape... But that's just my guess.

Thanks! I'd have to say that since you already have the wheels you JUST HAVE TO get a Humvee... We'd all hate to see those wheels go to waste!! :D

Yes, it IS a sickness..... :cookoo:

Dude!! If your wife says that SHE wants a Humvee I'd suggest that you make this happen!! WORST CASE SCENARIO she later decides that she doesn't like it and then you'll just have to "force yourself" to relieve her of it and make it your's!! WIN - WIN !! [thumbzup]
