More auction pics. Pic below is on a truck that claims only ~30 miles since rebuild in 09. The rest of the truck is super clean. It looks like someone took the transfer case and front of drive shaft and dipped it in batter or something. I assume this is a leaking transfer case or maybe a...

I'm looking at a bunch of trucks on gov planet and noticing that many of them have double dent "dimples" on the tailgate where it swings down and hits the rear tie downs. Is it safe to assume these dents are not fixable? Some of the dents are pretty extreme, most don't look too bad and are...

Your jedi mind tricks won't work on me.... But seriously, I'm not sure I'm even going to bid on anything tomorrow. I know so little about these things and don't want to make a dumb move just yet. Probably a little more research, or just low ball a couple really nice trucks to make sure I...

not sure what this means, but she sounds nice

Thanks, can't believe I didn't notice the missing stalk on the column

Thanks for the quick response. I was thinking possibly lights given the locaton, but the auction says that all lights are operational. Probably a mistake on their part. Maybe they plugged it in and then checked the lights. Either way, probably not a show stopper but maybe indicative of a...

I'm working to ID and evaluate some gov planet trucks I want to bid on. I kind of know what to look for on general condition, but I"m new to HMMVW's and don't really know when to be concerned when I see a part laying around or something that looks "off". Here's a pic of a disconnected/hanging...

Thanks for the replys. I just assumed the SF-97 would say "off-road only", thought I had read that somewhere. It sounds like I should be good, thanks again.

Thanks. That's essentially the same way they treat antique vehicles. Technically, it's pretty restrictive per the language below: "Vehicles registered as a Former Military Vehicle may only be used for parades, club activities, exhibitions, and other functions of public interest and not for...

Is there a standard list of stuff that the refresh normally included? Any specific parts replaced? From what I've seen, a lot of these refresh jobs happened on trucks with very few miles to start with. Was the refresh to bring things up to a higher spec or just replacing items that...

I'm doing some research on registering a humvee in TX and ran across the following info. https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/TXDMV/2019/08/22/file_attachments/1271193/RTB%20Off-Highway%20Former%20Military%20Vehicles%20HB%201755v3.pdf If this is the latest info, it looks like you are...

Thanks for the response. Any thoughts on blow by and how concerned I should be about it? This seems like a debated topic and I couldn't really find anything specific to the humvee motors. In the video's I've seen, some of the blow videos definitely show some vapor coming out. Maybe just...

Thanks, I'll give him a call tomorrow.

First post, thanks for all the great content on this forum. I'm looking to get a humvee from gov planet and trying to figure things out. I believe I'm getting a handle on the general process (bit of a crap shoot), but want to make sure I'm looking at the right model/options when deciding what...
