Hundreds listed in DOD excess right now. I your state forester participates in the FFP (or FEPP) program you can go to the DRMO and pick out the best one you see. BUT I have heard that some (or many) foresters have arbitrarily decided that they are not going to allow HMMWV transfers thru FFP or FEPP. In that case go to your state federal surplus office (every state has one) and work out a deal. Will likely cost you some $. It's a scam but these state federal surplus office get DOD (and GSA) property for free and then sell it to local gov't and "not for profits". The income pays for transportation and supports their lifestyle. In Iowa have a deal where they will process the paperwork for $100 and I arrange transportation.
Be very conservative with loading. As you may recall the things are large but have a rather limited GVW. Good plan would be max of about 175gal of water. By the time you add on pump, equipment, and a couple heft FF you be at max wt. Or you'll break it (expensive parts not at NAPA).
FD can purchase parts from DOD at the AMDF price (which often is going to sound outrageous).
I've never heard of anyone in the military calling them hummers. Jarheads got to be "different.".
