Thanks for the picture. We don't have any armored ones and I did remove the turret from one we got with the slant back hard top. That one looks good.
I also saw the M113 that Alliance PD obtained. They have been very successful with getting lots of stuff.
I participate in many forums, mostly firearms related, and have found this forum extremely informative and helpful. I have a side business that involves gunsmithing and firearms sales so I spend a lot of my off time on-line. I appreciate all of the help that SS have provided on the HMMWV...
I wouldn't have tried to drive it but the fact that it was all rebuilt was too tempting. I've had others hauled back, but thought I could save the money on this one. Lesson learned......and to make it worse....I had this happen to me when I while in the service.....should have known better.

This is a HMMWV obtained through the DLA Law Enforcement program that I was driving back yesterday. This particular HMMWV received a complete overhaul including new paint, new soft top/doors, motor overhaul, and many suspension parts in 7/2010. The rebuilder riveted a plate on it indicating the...
Good luck with your aquisition! These are great vehicles for the price. Glad you guys could put one to use and save it from the crusher.
We used the 24V emergency equipment in some of our rigs to avoid the power issues. Thinking about the converter for the last one.
My agency has taken advantage of this program. It's hard to pass on a 4WD truck in the condition these are in for free. We have used ours for rescue in flooding situations, search and rescue in off-road terrain, and many other things where normal police vehicles can't make it. These trucks...
Yes, the turret tops all leak....like a faucet sometimes. But they are cool.
Nice looking HMMWV! You will really enjoy it.
BTW, those are 8 bolt wheels for bias ply tires. If you change your tires to radials, I believe you will have to change the rims to the 12 bolt type.
Thanks guys. I have to haul this from the pick up location and it would be empty and all highway driving. We're picking up a HMMWV also and I thought I might be able to pull it back with that.
sgtmike,
We also recently aquired a HMMWV. I have been getting filters and parts from the following sources:
www.hummerpartsguy.com
Kascar
www.real4wd.com
I have been using the govt credit card for online purchases, but I believe both places do purchase orders, etc.
Our local NAPA...
The agency I work for just received a HMMWV from the DLA/DRMO. It's pictured in my avatar.
I am planing on having new tires installed and have been reading about the rims, etc. Is there a way to tell what rims they are and which Oring I will need. I see a red type which I think might be for...
