First never believe anything a dealer says unless it is one of the few that are actually trusted here, and if it is the "dealer" I am thing of in FL they are very far from the best.

Yes that was them ......Anybody else hear any bad/horror stories about them? ....

Asking the same. Ive looked at a few of their online offerings and they appear to slap some paint/doors on their Gov planet builds and send them down the road. I might go look at a 6.5 turbo they have as it checks all the boxes of what im looking for.

Welcome to the SS forums!!

Thank you. I need a new project like a hole in the head, but here I am. Fortunately/unfortunately they are right down the road as the saying goes. Im still going to go take a peak as a baseline in my search. Ive come to the realization that most for sale HMMWv's are going to need some sort of help to be reliable. How much im willing to tackle is the question. Then again, Im coming from a finished Range Rover Classic restoration so my straight jacket is already broke in.

Most need ALLOT of help, they are for the most part junk with some potential, expect to spend as much to get one fully operational as the original cost and then feel very lucky if it doesn't.
