Would like to know how this is going to work out as well. I don't know anybody that's messed with it.
Also will be interesting to see what they actually sell for. |

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction and also deflating my sails.  lol I was hoping they were substantially cheaper then that.

Quote HistoryI was driving those back in the 80's. I would so buy one if I won the lottery. Neat toy. |

After what we put some of those things through, there is no way in hell I would pay that much for them!

The prices and conditions vary wildly, some days there just haven't been the bidding interest so we think if we are lucky we can pick buy one of the Southwest ones for around $10k. I know first hand how ragged some of these can be (who thinks it's a good idea to give a 2LT a Humvee and say its ok to 4 wheel it on non duty hours? in Germany...) My buddy already has a replacement engine and drivetrain if its needed. If we get one ill make sure to post updates.

The maintenance cost on the drivetrain components is hard to believe.
This is nothing like any conventional 4 X 4 that most off-roaders are familiar with. I would definately steer clear of these rigs, a smaller modern utility vehicle simply makes more sense. |

There are dedicated forums from which to source information and parts. I agree that a modern utility type vehicle makes way more sense as a daily driver. But that isn't why people are buying them. It's a hobby, they are toys. Like an old muscle car or a built up Jeep or a boat. I would buy one for that purpose and in fact did bid on a few last year. But once the price went past $8,000 I dropped out. Ended up selling for $12-13k. Too much for something that you are gambling on being able to get street legal, IMO. |

We had one as a brush truck at a fire station I used to work at. It would spend 6 months a year on a flat bed going to or from the shop or in the shop. You couldn't keep a transmission in it and the brakes lasted about 2000 miles. I would still take one at the right price though.

In 87, as a driver my TOW carrier had less than 40 miles on it when I spent four days of a two week FTX with the REMFs waiting for a new transmission. |
