Thanks for the offer. The seller is anxious to conclude the transaction, so I'll probably borrow a truck to pull the equipment hauler or drive back. I'm in McPherson (about an hour north of Wichita)--let me know if you're going up or down I-135 and maybe we can meet up.

Thanks guys, It turns out that an equipment trailer isn't an option--they don't have a tow vehicle and my Silverado can't pull the humvee and a trailer :-( And I can't get UHaul to rent me a car hauler, because they also say the truck isn't up for it (not the load, the trailer). In any case, I...

Hi again, Super excited to have just purchased a HMMWV. It's a 1988 four-man soft-top setup. I'll post pictures once I get it home. On that point, could someone tell me EXACTLY how wide the vehicle is to the outside of the wheels? The local rental place has equipment haulers rated at 10,000...

Thanks. Sounds about right :-) He sent a couple of other pictures, but this one was in the pile and I was scratching my head trying to figure out what the heck is was I was seeing. I'm thinking "not something that looks like it belongs" (shades of Sesame Street's "One of these things is not like...

Still looking for a humveee. Got this image back from a seller today.... As I mentioned, when I was in the service, I only ever did PMCS at the "it doesn't look broken" level. If it didn't start, it was off to the motor pool or depot. I looked at a humvee listed for sale online and asked for...

More good info, thanks. When I was the XO's alternate driver, we didn't bother trying to stay dry if driving in the rain. And I do remember a waterfall when there was a heavy overnight rain in Grafenwohr. So I'm expecting some water to get in--though I'll probably ask more questions about...

Thanks to all. It looks like the humvee I was thinking of buying got away (wasn't fast enough convincing the wife this is the truck we need :-) ) but am still looking.

OK... so I talked to the retired Highway Patrol officer who does VIN inspections in my tiny town about what he needs to see during the inspection to sign off on a Kansas title. He confirmed that he's looking for two things: the VIN and that the engine matches the vehicle. We didn't get into why...

Thanks for that additional info.

Good point. I read the Kansas code and we have a special category for registering military vehicles... but obviously I've never tried to have one inspected. I bought an out-of-state vehicle since I moved here and it only needed the VIN inspection, which is done by a very friendly, helpful...

Thanks for the responses so far, guys. I'm definitely leaning towards buying one, obviously--and your answers seem to match what I expect. For a good number of years I had a 1931 Model A Ford coupe that I loved driving. I actually commuted to work in it (in California, no less) three days a...

Hi all, I've toyed on and off with the idea of purchasing a HMMWV since I got out of the service. For part of the time I was in I was assigned to HHQ 3/325 of the 82nd and did some time as unit armorer and part-time driver. My favorite humvee memory is driving like a madman chasing camels off...
