    Finally got the Humvee off road!!!

    Finally did some off-roading today. All I can say is wow. Went through mud, sand, water with no trouble at all. Steep inclines in and out and just pulled through. So fun. Went down a pretty steep incline into a creek and then climbed out the other side. Water and sand. Never had a...

    Govplanet HMMWV Auctions ?

    I believe if someone wins auction. There is a pretty substantial fee they pay if they don’t pay for auction item. Believe it’s a percentage of final bid. The auction is a binding legal doc.

    To paint or not?

    All food thoughts. Pretty sure I won’t use bed liner on exterior. Over time it fades with the uv in my experience. Will be painted. Drawn on what to do. Need to give it more thought. Feel like the Humvee will hold its value unless I do something stupid to reduce it. Will probably...

    To paint or not?

    Trying to decide if I should keep it all tan or paint flat black with the tan soft top and doors. Thinking it would look nice painted. Paint is scratched in areas, was touched up by army with a different color of tan in areas. and needs to be repainted anyways. Question being if it’s...

    Hmmwv overheating 220-240

    Drove some today. With the Tcm unhooked fan running constant, the temps never got over 200, per gauge. Not sure exactly what this means. Going to swap thermostat, temp sensor, and reconnect and see what happens. Have a feeling the TCm might be bad? Does kascar sell those as well?

    Finally Got a HMMWV for decent price.

    Congrats!! I had bid on 10 or so. Originally wanted camo, but then figured the tan looked good too. Only bid on ones with no leaks and that would start on own. Majority of them were going for over 10k. A buddy was watching the last one and said very few closed below 9k unless there were...
