I agree with your sentiment. Paint doesn't hide mechanical defects, but it definitely does "sell" better than the average 28 year old engine bay. If something in there is broken, it'll show itself regardless.

I was a UH-1 mechanic for 6 years in the Army. I have the mechanical ability and most of the tools, but what I don't have right now is space to have a project truck torn apart in my driveway for long periods of time. I'm in Surburbia for another 6-12 months before we move out to the country...

It latches shut, but I wouldn't say it "locks" exactly. I will get to thinking about that after awhile. First big project on this is going to be building a nice center console so I have put my wallet/phone, etc when I'm in the car.

Here are a few of the interior.

Here are a few pictures I took for the insurance company: The top is nice. I'm "iffy" on the doors because a) the windows are small and b) the latching hardware is kinda cheap. The rear "curtain" is nice and the window seems to seal well.

Nope not saying that at all.

My call to them before I bought this truck was very different and I received a bit more insight into their process. I also understand that because they are sourcing trucks from the same places that GP is auctioning from, they are subject to the same potential risk of buying a truck that starts...

Well aren't you a charmer.

After posting some info on the HMMWV Owners facebook group regarding the few small problems I had (bad batteries, no wipers, bad washer pump) I was proactively contacted by one of Plan B's mechanics. He took my info and passed it to the owners. One of the owners (Tom) called me today to...

Yup, I'm sure I would too. When I put mine on I think I'll suck it up and by the reverse switch to mount on the gear selector lever.

It didn't come with them. Here in VA, as I understand it, if they were installed by the manufacturer, they must work, otherwise they're not required. The plate light is mandatory on all vehicles.

I'll take some in the morning. Both were easy peasy installs with basic tools. Here's a night shot of the plate. Plenty bright enough with those 3 LED's.

Finished installing my TMG plate frame. Great product. I also installed their keyed battery disconnect switch I put installed it at the front of the battery box, but I suspect I'll have to move it because once I put the 6TL batteries in it I think the front battery will hit the back side of...

I disagree. It IS a nice truck. A few glitches maybe, but the quality of the truck I received overall is pretty darn good.

A quick update: 1. I got the insurance squared away on it yesterday. State Farm took good care of me. $90/6 months, no mileage or garage restrictions. 2. GP Overnighted the UT title to me and I got it about 8:45 this morning. I hopped in the car with it and the GP invoice and went straight...

I have NO relationship with Plan B at all. To be honest, I didn't even know who they were when I bid on the truck. It wasn't until someone else said "that's a Plan B rig" that I knew they existed. So, I have no ulterior motives here, I'm merely sharing info as I get it. I also have no...

Glad to do it. The fuel tank they may not have known about. It wasn't until I parked it on a slope with a freshly filled tank that it leaked and they probably never filled it full enough to notice. The batteries and wipers, yeah I'm a little frustrated by those but if those are the biggest...

Thanks Maverick. Do you know if the H1 arms are plug-n-play?

Yeah, the batteries thing kinda pisses me off, especially given that I HAD to buy new batteries that don't physically fit well just to get it off the transport due to time pressure. I was actually contacted by a Plan B mechanic on Facebook who I'm hoping can help me out with the wiper blades...

Thanks! Yup, I've watched most of his vids, including this one (that's how I knew of the possibility of a leaky access port). VERY helpful.
