Hey Matt, I have a 1988 M998, soft doors, soft top, cargo cover over the bed, 6.5L engine, woodland camo. I love mine too! Get you a radio rack for the interior off eBay! You can mount so much stuff to it. Also your back seats can fold down to extend your bed. They have 2 twist locks and the back of the seat pulls out and you just lay it down flat and use the twist locks to secure it to the floor. The hood is fiberglass and it's pretty strong but you're not supposed to walk on it. Get you a brush guard and mounting kit. It has pull out pins so it folds down and you can open your hood. If you don't have the deep water forwarding kit then don't go in water deeper than 30 inches! The engine and trans dip sticks aren't water tight! The deep water forwarding kit comes with the snorkel, tall exhaust pipe, and sealed dip sticks. The front window folds down for transporting the Humvees in ships, saves room. Get you a CB radio from President. They are 24 volt rated and make yourself an aluminum adapter plate for the antenna mount on the back so you can mount a CB antenna. The turn signal is actually authentic military, not aftermarket. However your keyed ignition is aftermarket. Military Humvees have no keys, just a switch. I hope yours is the 6.5L because the 6.2L engines aren't reliable. And never, ever, EVER try to start the engine before the wait light goes off or you will mess up your glow plugs and they'll swell up and get stuck in the engine, not fun! I was in the Marines for 5 years and my co-worker was a Humvee mechanic for 10 years in the Army so contact me if you have any questions. I hope yours has a fuel access panel under the rear passenger plywood panel on the tunnel. Makes replacing the sending unit in the fuel tank easy. Dropping the tank is a pain in the ass! Hope you have fun with yours because I love mine too! PS: download the -10 operator's manual, the -20 service manual, and the -30 service manuals. Those are your Humvee bibles. hummer-hmmwv.tpub.com

Are the 6.9s reliable??

[@mosesblount1191]

How do you maintain it and get tires or parts for it?

I got to field test these at Fort Hood when they first came out and replaced the Jeeps. When all you've had were the Jeeps, these things were beastly. Your little field test was soft - we did things in the Hummer that I couldn't believe a vehicle was doing. We were so happy to turn in the Jeeps at the salvage yard. They didn't care what shape they were in, so neither did we, and we did everything we could to absolutely trash the Jeeps at the yard.

[@jaredsmith6613]

Some ideas for the hmmwv Put a winch, snorkel, performance exhaust (from the guy who made the one for the goblin), some engine mods, a spare tire carrier that goes in the bed (or see if you can do a slant back conversion and put the tire carrier on that), a seat for Linc in the middle of the back so you can carry the whole family, led lights, a military style bumper brush guard. Also it is designated as a SUV because a truck would have a bed that is separate from the cab, this is designated as a SUV just like a Chevy avalanche.

Seeing you in that little pond reminded me... Years ago, I bought a military CJ3A for a 4WD toy. I took it to a farm pond, went out to the middle and stopped (keeping the RPM's up) because I wanted to see how the 4WD pulled. The water wasn't "deep" deep, but it was plenty inside, and there were decent, muddy hills on all sides of the pond. I took off to climb out, and it just didn't pull like I hoped it would. Oh, it came out with a little spinning, but I wanted that low geared *power*. Disappointed, I reached down to take it out of 4WD and I had never engaged it. It was in 2WD the whole time. For having a flat head 4 banger under the hood, that thing would climb a tree if it wasn't for falling backwards.

AJWIISON WIISON what are you doing I’ve seen this on every comment I’ve looked at so far 😂

[@RamblinGarage]

Matt is like the most public, yet low-key, doomsday prepper.. He has chickens to supply eggs, he gathers water, he has enough guns and ammo to protect all of Texas and now he has a Humvee that'll run through anything and run on anything. I need to move next-door.

[@nemporras]

I was watching this thinking Matt has to be a low key prepper...lol

[@RamblinGarage]

Can't say I blame him haha he has some awesome stuff

[@thehuntingwolf4624]

Another reason you can take the doors off is if you need an emergency riot shield. Make sure to have the heavy armored doors! Can't believe matt did not think of this! Pls do a video on testing the bullet stoping power of the heavy door to see how long it takes you to get trough. And why don't you use the grenade launcher any more?

[@kams912]

Thehunting wolf not to mention swim out easy

[@danielbecker-birkner9887]

Another thing is to use the doors as "sitting cushion" when its damp/wet on the ground. 😉

[@cammcvittie9004]

I happen to have a armored Humvee, I use it to ride around with my 3 malinois. Looks amazing. Always wear ear protection.

[@ezekielmorgan1042]

All that middle space that doesn't have seats was actually useful in this truck when it was in the military since you could store all 4 of the soldier's gear and stuff. In the H1, it's a bit less useful but I definitely want either one of those big beautiful behemoths

[@joekaz5198]

Take it on the highway if you want to know what reentering the earth's atmosphere in the space shuttle feels like.

[@Reloykaotica]

ahahahahahahahaha no lie

[@kbrownfocus]

Don't miss that at all....

[@Xaxxus]

probably burning as much fuel as the space shuttle too.

[@deafmusician2]

@@Xaxxus on reentry?

[@MightiestArm]

I don't know much about these, is it not a smooth ride on streets?

[@MilsurpMikeChannel]

The great thing, they don't cost that much at surplus auctions, but as you said, the bugger is titling and tagging one.

[@zbudda]

Milsurp Mike Texas is one of the few states that allow people to title these vehicles.

[@MilsurpMikeChannel]

So I wonder if you can buy one that is already titled from Texas and just have it transferred to your state.

[@Ratkill9000]

Yeah but the engines are garbage.

[@insiainutorrt259]

Heard they are very expensive to fuel and repair/maintain tho

[@General_Eisenhower1945]

Milsurp Mike he could have gotten a deuce and a half in the multituel for less. but hey, I'd rather have both.

[@Boballerz]

I used to admire humvz but you made me like em more since I started watching your videos...max respect man

[@jmartlncln]

So cool! I love the rawness of these vehicles too!

[@masonpshak7275]

Buy 3 of the totally easy to get heavily armored doors. You can replace the two front doors then shoot the last one just to see what it stops.

[@WeirdSeagul]

i wanted to hear about the dog :(

[@ddovelius]

If you go to his other channel called Vetranch I am pretty sure they will make a video about that too.

[@bwyattm1]

She looks part Australian shepherd which I love those dogs

[@christian9902]

The full video will probably be released on vetranch

[@balcard]

Also would like to see what is with that dog.

[@Mike__B]

I wanted to hear how Matt was about to change that dogs life for the better, then "oh he'll be twitching for life..." :(

[@jeffantoniotti2973]

That thing is so awesome. I'm jealous.

[@fredmclaughlan7574]

great walk around Matt!!!

[@beaujames8267]

Across the side of it you should get don't tell Mere in a classic military graffiti style writing like on the old P-51 mustang fighters and a smaller AR-15 eagle on the back right off the tailgate with a custom license plate that says "SO BRAVE"

[@DerInsider05]

Beau Roscamp I like that idea. But would be kind of a MEME mobile... don't know, but would be funny.

[@phyllisbowen1239]

I think the license plate should say, "SO BWAVE" and then in a couple of years they should tease Lincoln about why it says "BWAVE" instead of "BRAVE".

[@cody4597]

You should mount a M1919 browning on the top if you can and then shoot of off the Humvee (Like so he can see!)

[@Adazca]

That would be really cool!

[@house5215]

Logman313 not real one

[@bjbeardse]

M1919?? I think you mean M2. 1919 is a .30 cal, M2 is .50cal

[@iaet585]

Bay Area Buggs He just did!

[@noname-lc3ms]

Ya but I didn't see a hatch but love your videos

[@sNstRflyEr]

I like that they don't have an axle going right across from wheel-to-wheel sort of like the new Mercedes Foursquare or whatever the hell they're called. They design it so you have a lot more clearance underneath.

[@khushwantgehlot8726]

Beautiful truck. Good detailed information.

[@willwigginton1583]

Yesterday I said it was a either a tank or a monster truck and I’d say I got it right because it is a mix of both

[@gregorywhatley9659]

1:45 No Matt, I DO want to hear more about the Dog. I WANNA KNOW MORE!

[@TheGatornation20]

I'm sure there will be a vet ranch video all about that pup

[@gregorywhatley9659]

I really hope so. I would adopt it myself if I was in the US

[@migatoasi]

Wait, can I promote, Matt's videos here?? Hmm, IDK, so just look up Vet Ranch, might be their in a week, or month, depends on what he plans to do.

[@franklinismyturtle]

I fell in love with that dog!

[@gregorywhatley9659]

same

[@christopherbell5502]

This is really doing stuff to my heart it's melting that's whats happiness feels like like he said it's so brave I'm just going to get a souped up H2 very soon I can't afford h1 hero

[@Gallardo6669]

Dude, first class video!! Massive Thanks!!

[@alexanderf5046]

As we say in Russia «Чем круче джип, тем дальше идти за трактором», which means kinda "The tougher the jeep - the longer a way to go to find a tractor"

[@duncancallum]

So true.

[@BMRFSecurity]

Yup, been there before.

[@MrBnfl]

haha .. so true and funny

[@Jaydog1Party]

You should mount a.50 Cal to the top of the Humvee!!!!!!!!!

[@viral_editz4852]

Jaydog1Party RE I was going to say that

[@nikolaspasic2678]

Jaydog1Party RE you are one smart dude 😆

[@harryrooney9424]

I don’t know much about cars but this video helped me learn quite a bit even if that wasn’t it’s intended purpose thank you

[@silenciosmelody4079]

Bro...thank you for displaying my childhood dream vehicle...by the time you got to driving it i totally lost count how many times I wet myself

[@TinyMeatGang99]

Lol 90% of this video is Matt going "I love this truck".

[@feedtheagle6851]

I mean... the humvee was designed to keep up with a tank... That said... a ripsaw would be nice.

[@curtmuhlenberg9064]

OK, so this time you color me olive drab. LOVE IT, have always loved the HUMVEE! Boys will be boys and you got the best toy ever!!! Enjoy it mate...

[@Adz_Win]

Nice humvee from England 👌🏼🥰 damn u took it far, it looks amazing still ..! 👊🏼👊🏼

[@youss8378]

You should put a 50 cal machine gun on the top

[@justinroman7255]

I really like the longer vlogs. Keep up the good work, Matt!

[@heaven8235]

Potato, Potato your channel picture makes me happy. Lol

[@bassmith448bassist5]

Potato, Potato you are an annoying dweeb!!!!!

[@justinroman7255]

[@CallumTheOkie]

6 years in the army and that is nicer than any single one I've even seen at any of the units I was in........

[@shhletsgohurryup5736]

Just like a kid with a new toy!! Congratulations Matt!!
