Newbie from Frankfurt/Germany says "Hi!"

Hello everyone,

I just want to to quickly introduce myself.

My name is David. I live near Frankfurt/Germany and finally did it. After almost 10 years, I sold my '67 Mustang and decided to go for the other vehicle of my childhood dreams. Since last year October I finally drive my own M998. I got it as '86 two-man truck and already converted to 4-man setup for family camping trips. I still got a little work to do but I probably enjoy the wrenching even more than the driving. Since I'm a litle bit into 3D-Printing I'm also thankful for any ideas for Humvee related models but I will probably just start a separate thread sooner or later for that.

I bought it from private hands near Kaiserslautern and am constantly sucking up all knowledge I can about it. I finally registered here for the same reason. I can't say how many endless nights I browsed this forum...many thanks for all the people here making this such a valuable resource.

I'm looking forward to any exchange and hope to maybe even find some like-minded people in Germany as well.

I guess that's it for now.

Best regards from Germany!

Living the dream... Lots of fun for sure. There are quite a few of our members in Germany.

Welcome to the Forum!

Do some searches on things that will interest you straight away. Maintenance, lubrication manuals, and maybe some electrical knowledge is very helpful.

Find what you need and download, print away your troubles. [thumbzup]

Willkommen an Bord!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

Here are the pictures for you:

I know the rooftop tent looks a little goofy but I had it before the Humvee already...it actually is the reason I finally decided to buy the Humvee.

Hi David,

Why don't you post your pictures under the MV of the Month?
Link Below:

Sometimes there are shiny pretty new looking trucks.
Other times not so much, but it would be a good way to get some exposure to you and your truck.
