Just won an auction for my first HMMWV, the wait begins
Thanks and congrats on the 1165. Unless you are flipping these things as a business, the purchase price isn't that relevent in the grand scheme of things if you get what you want. This is my first hmvee and I figured it's a good starter and I can always upgrade later if I really dig it. Good... -

I don't know much about these miltary batteries. If mine has the original batteries from the 2009 refurb (which I assume it does), is there any chance they are usable? I know normal batteries can last that long if they are maintained, but not more than a few years if left to drain (unless they... -

I agree that they should take a pic of the battery compartment, but you can't tell them much about a battery by a pic in most situations. New looking batteries can be shot and old loooking batteries can be great. I assume most of these trucks have been sitting untouched for years, so chances... -

Thanks for feedback. I talked to a guy at GP about the title and he said they could title it, but not in TX for me. Are you saying it's still worth getting a title from GP to make it easier to get it for TX? Where would they title it if not in TX? I probably should have pressed him on it... -

Just won an auction for my first HMMWV, the wait begins
I ended up with the winning bid on a basic 2 door with no top. 2009 barstow rebuild. It's got a few known issues (heater not working, missing wipers, possible leak on transfer case). Hopefully nothing major. My plan is to go soft top and soft doors, probably 4 door. Link below. If anyone...
