What to look for when buying a HMMWV?

Could anyone provide a link or a short list of specifics to check/look for when buying an already legal HMMWV from a seller? 6.2L M998 4 seater is likely the one i'll be looking at if that helps. Other than typical stuff, what are some things i need to check or red flags to look for?

Thanks!


P.S. I'm not looking to start a "which is better" argument. I searched for a buyers guide but couldn't find anything.

Welcome to SS. Just a heads up your state is required in your location , no sense in meeting the moderators early.
This is probably the best check list there is .

Welcome to the site, hobby, friendships and events to come.
The more you 'Play' and use the truck the more you will learn as you go onwards.
With the appropriate reading of course.

BigNutz, Welcome to Steel Soldiers! One of the first things to learn is that the advanced search block in the upper right corner of the page is your friend and it'll take you wherever you want to go. Most of what your going to run into (figuratively, not literally) has already been asked and answered here on the HMMWV forum. The question you just asked was recently discussed just 1 page back here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?184112-What-to-check-when-buying-a-humvee Take a look and if you still have questions ask away. Again, welcome to the community.
