Reasons to NOT get a M916?
- Thread starter Hammer
- Start date
You guys are going to get me in trouble with my wife if she finds out I'm looking at mil-vehicles!
There's an Army base not too far away that has at least seven M916s coming up for auction.
If any of you out-of-towners want me to go look at them, let me know. I don't know M916s very well, if at all, but I can take pics and talk to the guys and see if they can shed any light on their condition. Just let me know.

P.S. I hope this isn't a violation of the site rules, if so, I'll pull the offer.
Thanks,
Al

I bought a M920 with 8 brand new tires, and drove it home (about 1.5 hours from home), paid $8K and an AR-15.
Sold the 8 new tires for $2400
Installed 53" Michelins ($600 + a 5-ton rear axle)
sold rear winch for $1800
installed deuce bed ($650 with side boards)
I can't complain for what I have in mine, every one I have seen on GL have gone for more than I would want to spend, mine needs some work, but the fact it was close to home and from a private seller helped me out on getting one.
I haven't driven it much but I can say for a fact the power is WAY better than a 5-ton, although acceleration is pathetic with the CAT 16 speed.
