zeitgeist57 Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 http://www.govplanet.com/jsp/s/search.ips?sm=0&c=3468&md=M1038+Humvee&mode=8 Srsly...I would love to put a pintle-hook hitch on a HMMWV and rock it around town for DGAF errands. I know they are TURRIBLE street/highway cruisers, but the prospect of a $4-5k Hummer still entices me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigOxley Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 I hate them, hard to get in and out of for anyone over 5'10" or with over size 10 shoes. Might be good for a manlet with 100+ acres to play on? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 I remember reading somewhere that GovPlanet can help navigate the End-Use Certificate process, which is needed to title and tag one of these for street use? Regardless, it's not lost on me that a 6.5L diesel 4WD offroader with a 24V charging system and a winch is not a "must-have" for my hauling needs.

zeitgeist57 Posted March 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Boy, looking at those Ohio pieces (thanks for the link!) makes me depressed. That's a lot of rust. Really makes the case for getting something from the southern or western U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99StockGT Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Would you like the long or short story of how much these things suck to own/work on in the civilian world? We did one a customer had just purchased back last summer... ugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentStateTsi Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 I had enough motorpool mondays to keep me away from any of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted March 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 No, no...I'm just playing with a fantasy here. I've heard enough horror stories. I remember a few years back when a couple of guys (was one of them truckin here on the board?) drove "deuce-and-a-halfs" to CC&C. IIRC it was $40 in fuel and top speed of 55mph to cover a 40-mile roundtrip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShowHBK Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 This item is offered for Off-Road Use Only. I saw an episode of "Dirt Everyday" where the host purchased one of those huge trucks and they claimed you could drive them on the road. I am sure someone insurance company would insure the car for road use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99StockGT Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 After a massive headache of rebuilding one of these things for a customer I had the "pleasure" of driving it in late July early August to mile it for break in and trouble shooting.. on paved civilian roads.. at "normal" cruising speeds...UGH yea thanks I'll pass on doing THAT ever again. Even if you go into it planning on swapping out to a more GM setup.. the time money and anger is... UGH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeto67 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 was in NY this past weekend and talking with a buddy of mine. Apparently the hot shit setup these days is "bobbed" deuce and a halfs. cuts the mechanical issues down by 1/3, makes them easier to drive on the highway, and more useful: http://www.boyceequipment.com/m35a2-bobbed-deuce sure you lose the 6x6 but still...not the worst idea until you realize it's $20K.
