Does anyone have a hint at just how many more hmmwvs are available to be auctioned in general? I'm curious as to how many more vehicles are there to be disposed of by the USMC & Army. Also, why is it we don't see air force hmmwvs make it to auction?
Absolutely my concern as well. This is great news and an incredible personal win considering all of the sacrifice, however, more vehicles on the street will move states' in taking a look at them.
Again, congratulations on this huge win!
They would have to find a loophole or something in their existing govt contract. I think it's a possibility but only in small numbers and off the book type of back room deals. It would be a large risk for them but people have done more trying to make a buck, so anything is possible.
There are measures that can be taken to mitigate / eliminate the truck leaking like a sieve particularly if you intend on fortifying it in the first place and are no longer concerned with hatches opening, etc. It's all dependent upon your application.
I have a difficult time believing a cocktail will disable the truck but everyone is free to their opinions. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. It's not for everyone just some.
Saved this previous post which I believe does a great job in explaining the differences in the trucks
