6x6 command and control vehicle with slideouts for the same price as a HMMWV?
Thank goodness I'm over here, and getting one to the PI would be problematic, to say the least.

Not my cup O' tea but if they sell, good for the business owners and good for the employees. Or, a buyer could buy a Rubicon or add stickers, spend 20K more on doo dads and bling shit and be just like the other 200 thousand wanna be 4 wheelers with one just like theirs that never sees as much as a 4 inch deep mud puddle.

Slow, big, yet not a lot of seating, complex drivetrain with limited availability of parts. I think i'll pass. I'd rather have the Toyota hi-lux diesel suv I had in Afghanistan or the Nissan quad cab 4x4 I had in Iraq then one of those turds. The difference is you can actually, legally acquire the Humvee and not have them seized by Customs. Bonus there are states where they are road legal. |

So these are actual HMMWVs they have bought from auction and they are re selling them for a profit? Maybe putting some work into them to raise the price even more.
I already have this. Cost me a whole $3,000 straight from the government. Street legal, titled, registered, tagged, and insured. 20,000 miles. Looks like the above company sells 5 tons also. Starting at $18,600.

I understand it is not a Honda civic, but was genuinely curious on the maintenance requirements that are onerous... Standard early GM crappy truck diesel. Later models have turbos. No emissions, so you don't have to add piss every so often. The real pain in the ass is the 4 hub gearboxes for each wheel that you have to check the fluid in. That requires it be level, and each wheel has to come off. Military transmissions were 24V, so have fun getting your civilian mechanic to work on that. For off road, it has supreme ground clearance for it's tire height, has an available snorkel that works, etc, etc. As a daily driver, it's a pain. Maybe handy if you work on a .mil base. |

Have you ever been closer than a computer screen to a Humvee? What exactly would you swap over from the interior? Maybe the floor mats when you cut them square. The engine and trans and transfer case would swap, but then you would need adapters for it all, and you would need a complete body spacer lift. Then you would need the hydraulic fan drive unit from a 04/06 H1 ALPHA. There is no other provision to drive that massive fan since the HMMWV uses a slanted / almost horizontal cooling stack. How about this. Go online and look at pics of the H1 Alpha Platform. |

Interior: Seating capacity upgrade.
Lets face it, These humvees are bad to the bone, but only seating for 4 people in the humvee's stock four-door configuration has it's limitations. Thats why we decided to figue out how to fit more bodies into this military enclosure. Introducing 3rd row seating for 2 smaller personel, (kids) and an option to include a front row middle jump seat as well. These middle jump seats fold down for easy clearing of the middle tunnel area, or can come out completely in just a few minutes if you need more room to carry gear. But at least you now have the option to bring the whole family along for the ride. 3rd row Premium Folding middle jumpseat: $890 (includes 2 lap-style seat belts.)

Pretty cool. What exactly do you have to do to a military humvee to make it street legal? It seems kinda crazy that if it lacks safety features or what ever for street use that the military doesn't have it on their vehicles to protect soldiers But like I said, i have no idea what is different. I have always liked the look of the original H1 and military humvee - just no use for it. The government makes the rules bro. They also exempt themselves from those same rules. I could give another million examples. I used to work for the government. People have had varying luck getting the auction vehicles titled for road use. I know of one Texas member who has one, as well as one guy local to me-he got a bonded title and signed a statement saying it has a horn, brakes, lights and seat belts. Paid a fee and done. Road title and plates. I realize they make the rules - but what rules are they making different? Military humvees don't have lights, brakes, seat belts, and a horn? I though they had all those things So what is physically not letting it on the road with out alterations, legally? IMHO nothing. they are pretty much EXACTLY the same as a h1 civilian hummer, except with a 24 volt electrical system. the ONLY thing that kept them from being highway legal, was emissions IIRC. and bullshit. i think general motors had some deal with the gov to not resale military hummers to civilians, as it would hurt their civilian hummer sales. |

GM diesel couldn't pull a greased sting out of a cats ass. Moved it to the coast via roll back, no way was I driving that thing 300 miles. Made a great beach rig on a barrier island for a few years. Sold it for a profit 3-4 years later. |

Calm yourself friend, you can take that "how about this" shit and tell it to the next guy. I'd like to think I know a thing or two. And by interior, I was was only referring to the captains chairs, but didn't feel the need to be specific. Quote HistoryQuoted:

My H2, has been a great vehicle. Would like an H1, just for fun. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v631/splattermatic/a7622df7.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v631/splattermatic/57dc540f.jpg H1 is a whole different ballgame. I would love to build one and just use the shell of the H1 Pull the powertrain out of a wrecked new model Silverado 3500 Duramax and transplant everything including the interior.
Have you ever been closer than a computer screen to a Humvee? What exactly would you swap over from the interior? Maybe the floor mats when you cut them square. The engine and trans and transfer case would swap, but then you would need adapters for it all, and you would need a complete body spacer lift. Then you would need the hydraulic fan drive unit from a 04/06 H1 ALPHA. There is no other provision to drive that massive fan since the HMMWV uses a slanted / almost horizontal cooling stack. How about this. Go online and look at pics of the H1 Alpha Platform. And by interior, I was was only referring to the captains chairs, but didn't feel the need to be specific. You don't have to be angry. I just felt the need to point out how your "plan" wouldn't go so smoothly, and unlike you, Ive owned 2 HMMWV's, so I guess I do know a little about them. |
