    Welcome from North Peoria (NW PHX). New HMMWV owner. This site has been great!

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Unfortunately, no. I wish we could have a Marine from 29 Palms weigh in.:confused:

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I also have a sister ship. I’m fortunate to have a very knowledgeable enthusiast nearby who compensates for my lack of experience. There’s never a shortage of vehicles to wrench on and he’s very generously allowed me to get my hands dirty in an effort to become a knowledgeable owner. I tried to...

    Welcome to the party pal! Mine's been in my driveway a little over 2 months and I haven't stopped grinning like an idiot.

    GOVPLANET/USMC latest EUC times?

    Congratulations, add a picture! I’m also a first timer. Got an 1165 home a little more than a month ago and have a big, stupid grin on my face every time I slide behind the wheel.

    Frustrating - EUC approved today, and govplanet.com is down all day

    I was able to log in to get my Item Release form at 4:20 Yermo California time, but the system is reeeeaaaaally sloooooooow. At least it's operable...but barely.

    GOVPLANET/USMC latest EUC times?

    Update: I check govplanet every morning and every evening. Checked tonight (Sunday 4/25) right around 8pm: PENDING. Did the math... in our 7th week. Starting our 8th week on Wednesday. Happened to check my email at 8:12. Message from IRONPLANET: EUC cleared at 8:04pm. On Sunday. Huh. Hoping to...

    Looks great. What part of AZ are you in? I’m in NW Phoenix and seeing a growing number of HMMWVs around.

    AZ AZ Insurance Quote -m1165

    Deuce, Thank you for the suggestion. I just tried their (Hagerty) online quote. Selected $31k value, estimated 1000mi/year, and said I would use it for “parades and trips to the ice cream shop”. It generated $788 if prepaid or $178 then $68/month. No mileage limit or other restrictions. Mainly...

    AZ AZ Insurance Quote -m1165

    My carrier (GEICO) gave me a big thumbs down on my 2008 m1165 insurance so I tried USAA. They outsource MVs through Progressive. Offered basically the same high coverage I carry on my traditional (boring) full size trucks. Based on a self disclosed $30k value, $896/year or $778/year if I prepay...

    Wow...speedy. Have you had an EUC completed before or was this a first?

    Thanks for the updating the thread and Congratulations! If you bought that HEMTT in your picture you’re my hero... it’s what I wanted but the Empress reminded me we live in suburbia and said buying one was “ridiculous”. (Eye roll) Compromised on a HMMW.

    GOVPLANET/USMC latest EUC times?

    I’m still waiting for EUC to clear but curious how the SF97 works. It shows “in progress” but does that process even start before the EUC is completed? Thanks for the info to anyone who’s been through this before. Cheers-

    Hi from Arizona

    I've only been a member for about a week while I wait for a m1165 but am a fellow AZ resident. North Peoria. Post a pic of your new project!

    Soon to be M1165A1 owner here

    Congratulations on your purchase. Looks like you grabbed yours a week after I hooked mine. I posted my “progress” on the EUC link a couple days ago. And now the waiting begins. Shoot me a message when your EUC clears. We’ll compare wait times. Cheers- Caactus
