    luckily I checked my emails and seen this notification. They have held up like a champ for over 3 years now. They do show signs of surface rust but not much I can do about that. They’ve held up to my 12v Cummins swap no problem!

    Gents it's been a hectic few weeks but I can say my opinion on the humvee hasn't changed, I love it. Since purchasing the humvee I've done a few things, nothing major. - replaced front two CV Shafts - purchased two rear CV Shafts (will replace soon) - installed a back up camera - installed off...

    Well boys we got her home Tuesday! The only issue is the above mentioned boot and the gentleman was kind enough to give me a new half shaft (Will the H1 half shaft work?)

    So after talking highly about being about to drive the vehicle back without issue the seller informed me of a torn boot on the front. He stated he had a new boot he just hasn't installed it yet. I have done a little bit of research and discovered that most people believe replacing the half...

    I appreciate the input and so look forward to getting this vehicle. Unfortunately i'm unable to trailer it home but the seller swears it'll make the trip no issue. I plan on knocking things off the checklist as soon as possible. I appreciate you all!

    Like the title states, purchasing my first HMMWV in just two days! The vehicle is a 1992 M998 and is painted in camo green/brown. It has been tagged and titled for over two years and been driven daily for most of the time. With my obvious excitement, what are some things I should look out for...
