Well, I've been looking for a LONG time for one of these. I found it only 2hrs away. The seller was a relative of the owner who was in his 70's and developed dementia. The odometer shows 42,000 miles. It was 8 degrees when I went there and I was suprised to see it fire right up from sitting. It's appears to be mostly original. I looked under the back passenger seat and found the first aid kit intact.
The only thing I had a problem with on the way home was turning on the headlights. I got the orange marker lights and tail lights to come on but not the headlights. The one switch labled "unlock" turns freely and doesnt seem like it's doing anything. I looked at the pdf manuals on this site and didnt see headlight instructions. I'm thinking i'll need to pull the switch out and see if all the wires are good. But otherwise I love it! Clear title and it appears to be an early production with a 0006XX vin. The first thing im going to do to it is take off the brush gaurd that's on it. It's home made. Trying to find an original but if I can't, I will copy the one off my M1008 but wider to fit the Humvee.
