    Guess what it sold for at auction!

    More than twice what I paid for a nearly identical 1165… but that thing was WAY more beat up.

    How would you compare the fender mounted units with full red dot system? My 1165 is.. adequate… but barely able to keep out the Phoenix summer heat.

    Hey BestPrez….are you actually in Casa Grande? If so, I *think* you’re exempt from emissions testing requirements. https://mygis.azdeq.gov/webapps/veclocator/

    Diesel only…unless you have access to JP-5 or JP-8. The fuel filler neck is pretty specific on that. ;)

    AZ AZ Insurance Quote -m1165

    Sadly, everything seems to be based on the person you talk to. If you ARE in the Phoenix area, I might suggest using C&C as they are familiar with HMMWVs and seem to provide consistent information. Otherwise, you have to rely on the ADOT person that says “next in line!”, and many times although...

    AZ AZ Insurance Quote -m1165

    I'm happy to be a part of a community that helps each other. I couldn't remember how they came up with the number so I just looked through my records. Our winning bid amount was $31,900 and I looked up my city's buyer tax rate (1.8%). Multiplied together, I came up with the $574.20. We...

    AZ AZ Insurance Quote -m1165

    Welcome to Arizona HMMWV registration adventures! It's been just over a year since the auction and the first 6 months were pretty frustrating. Waiting 2 months for the background check and another 2+ months for the SF97 to show up. I had heard horror stories about the DMV and a they didn't...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Jetbike, What did you use for domelights? Love the look and DAMN it's dark in there when I'm trying to buckle the tyke into the carseat.

    Can an M1165A1 carry a snowmobile?

    Oh man.. THANK YOU. I’ve spent hours trying to find something on the inter-web.

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    What type of wheels do you have? I’m relatively new to HMMWV ownership and wanted to stay stock as much as feasible but I’ve seen those on a few and they look sharp.

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    I might also end up in that boat. I bought one for me but she literally drives it EVERYWHERE. It's a big hit in the kindergarten car pool line.

    Arizona Registration Follies: SF97 Fail

    If I thought it was attainable in less than the two months minimum it seems to take them to do anything, I’d probably consider it.

    Arizona Registration Follies: SF97 Fail

    As far as the SF97... evidently that was my mistake. I was under the impression that was what I needed but I'm new to all this and if a regular title would have been better, than my hind sight is 20/20. Just got back from talking with the guy who registered his an hour after I got rejected...

    HMMWV Insurance help please

    GEICO, which I have on my other vehicles, wouldn't touch it. I called USAA and they outsource through Progressive Commercial. I'm paying about $800 for 12 months of full purchase price coverage. The 6 digit serial number was wonky. Half the people I spoke with balked and the other half said...

    Arizona Registration Follies: SF97 Fail

    Finally brought my 1165 into AZ DOT to get the registration done. I expected the worst and Arizona didn't disappoint . My local office didn't have Level 2 (VIN # verification) slot available for a month but was able to get a next day reservation (*required) in an adjoining Phoenix suburb...

    An American HMMWV in Canada

    Great work on this project! You may get more responses if you create a new post in the HMMWV section. I suspect many people only follow threads for vehicles they own.

    Hmmwv m998 Hardtop B Pillar Install

    Oh man... my wife has wanted me to look into a rear window conversion for a long time. I prefer the look of the stock metal plate but she thinks it would be easier to navigate the car pool lane if she had a window...
