I think this was settled by Chief919 on another thread, there is no difference between a civy 6.2 and a military one.

what's up? scroll down on left side and look for chat room/mess tent

I would just run a new line from the fuse box but if you just have to use the radio power supply why not break out a multimeter? I am fairly sure there are two 12V lines running into it to get the original 24V.

Wow Chris......I don't even want to attempt advising you on that one, PM SS member Westech, or Doghead either should give you better advice. That was a really low thing for the seller to do, I could never do that I make it a point to point out all known problems and I try to be fair. Also I...

It also depends on if your going the GL route, GSA, or private sale. Here is my 2 cents: 1. GSA: under $1000 2. GL: up to 2k perhaps a bit more depending on condition (always pre-screen and check for bent driveshaft from forklift) 3. private sale: up to $5k depending on any work done/condition...

interesting, what do you estimate the weight of the "cabinet" portion is? I won't mention the nausea I feel inside since I really want a M1031. I missed out on a nice one recently as right when the auction started I discovered that a family member put me in a bind so I had to shell out $$$$

HMMWV: HOW TO BUY A large amount of info found here, not all of it good but it answers a lot of questions

Nope he bought a H2.......nice looking with amenities, he got a good deal but again I'd take my M1008 over his H2.

Agreed, I only mentioned it for two reasons: 1. as a cost comparison since a new one a few years ago cost 60k 2. and also since the poster mentioned wanting extras like AC Personally I just want a Desert Storm era M998 a 4 seater type with soft doors. -Dale

There are lots of gov vehicles without any safety features that get out, cucv's, Deuces, 5tons etc... I'm sure there are reasons but I don't think it is about safety at least not entirely. It's not like the M35A3's being sold have airbags or anything, ya know?

Wow....I always wanted a mil version or a look alike, why on Earth would you want a shiny off-road vehicle? I still hope that one day they will start selling them through GL so the price on the military ones could come down some. The way prices are now I would have better luck finding the Holy...

One of my soldiers bought a used H2 in great shape for 24k. There are deals out there, and as stated earlier it is a buyers market right now. Of course when he was showing it off to my platoon I said "whatever, mine is paid for and it has blackout drive lights and rifle racks" It was really...

I heard we used to have a DOC (PA) up here at my unit that used to play a messed up trick on guys when he had to do that, he had a medical glove filled with sand he would place this on the patient's right shoulder then he would place his left hand on the patient's left shoulder and tell them to...

I have seen people that just take the mount portion from the rear of the truck and weld it along with a plate to the front brush guard, I have also seen hunting style racks get mounter to the roof of the M1009 with the spare stored up there. Good luck and post pics of your solution. -Dale

I saw some HMMWV tops with turret rings (old 998 style with strap seat) being tossed in the metal scrap bin I went back to get one the next day and it had been cleaned out already. I have been thinking of doing the same type thing in the future when I get another M1009 (I have a M1008 now) I...

Welcome to the site Jim, I'll be buying a Deuce myself one day but as I still live on base housing I am limited to CUCV's. -Dale

I found the below at: M-60's being offloaded onto 9 axle steerables in Sparks,NV "Not all equipment is destroyed or de-mil'd. The terms of disposal are in the contract, usually manufactures put de-mil or disposal clauses into the contract to prevent military surplus sales from cutting into...
