I’ve spent most of my adult life living in soft skin HMMWV’s and they are hit and miss. I’ve had some that just wouldn’t quit and others that just wanted to die around every corner. My favorite one was a 1097a2 that had a bad engine when I got it, had it in the bay for about two months and after a new engine and a good annual service she was minty. That was my truck for two years and I would take it anywhere.

Having had my fair share of experience in HMMWV's, I can confirm that every experience you had is shared by almost all service members. From the overheating, doors not closing, "run flats", and absolutely freezing nights spent sleeping in one, these are all spot on. It is honestly amazing that you made it as far as you did without further problems. Pushing them things past 40 mph pretty much voids any mechanical security that the HMMWV may have had before.

Seriously WHY are they so bad? The Jeeps that came before were simple but at least reliable. In Germany I drove the 4x4 their army uses, the "Wolf". That was an almost luxurious excellent car. But just like the HMMWV it was designed in the 80s, so its not a new vehicle. So why does the HMMWV suck in comparison???

Ok so a little tip from an ex-boyscout: there are these camping mattresses that have their other side covered in a foil. This foil helps keeping you warm by reflecting your own body heat back into you. Helps a ton during winter camping, highly recommend if you ever end up in a similar situation like this.

You also need to insulate your body with some kind of sleeping pad, since your body will compress and flatten the insulation in the bag directly under your body you want a slim air pad or foam pad to retain your body heat better. It would probably increase temps inside your bag by 10°+

I feel your pain! I flew from NH to Kentucky to drive a "non running" (according to the govt auction) Deuce 1/2 home. I had suit cases full of tools and parts (mostly filters & belts). I "borrowed" another truck to jump start it with, then drove it off the base with no brakes. I got brakes at the gas station down the road after refilling the fluid. Phew! 100 miles later I did a pre trip PM at a friend's house, filled the fuel tanks with used motor oil donated by friends, then hit the road for the 1200 mile drive home. No heat in November is fine in Louisville, not so much in snow in upstate NY. I took a 2 hour nap near Albany before meeting a friend for breakfast, then finished my drive with little drama. What an awesome adventure!

I was at the border of Iraq/Jordan in 2005, our Humvee would barely start, when it did it would blow a ton of black smoke, everytime the driver put it into gear it would stall. The Iraqis were standing there laughing at us. He would rev it up, slam it into gear and it would stall again. It seemed like we would never get out of there. Luckily, it finally got moving.

The Humvee was a failure from the very start. The winner of the tender was actually a vehicle submitted by AMC, but they went bust before they could produce a prototype. The Humvee was too heavy, had horrendous fuel consumption, had no occupant protection, was hard to maintain and for a nearly four ton vehicle, could only carry 4 people. They tried to add armour but that took it to six tonnes and it was still vulnerable to IEDs. It did nothing well. The Australian army evaluated it and rejected it out of hand. They went with hardened Mercedes G's and built their own MRAP Bushmaster that was superior in every respected to the GM and Oshkosh efforts that were too heavy and expensive. A Bushmaster could limp back to base with a wheel blown off. The US one required a crane and a low loader. Pity if the bad guys were nearby.

The hmmwv is not hard to maintain. They are actually very easy to maintain if they are maintained properly to begin with. The one he has seems like to me that it hasnt been properly maintained for a long time. . As for up-armed yes for IEDs that are about worthless but when getting shot at they are great. As for gas mileage when your talking about an old school 6.2 or 6.5 diesel it doesn't have that bad of gas mileage.

Its a 2 ton vehicle. The armored version is 5. Having been struck by a few IEDs in one, it can survive. It took a direct hit to the undercarriage to inflict casualties, and that was with a bomb that would take out tanks.

Westen demonstrates what a rookie trooper is in one video. Sleeping in the cab will keep you dry but that"s about it. It is cold, the bed sucks, and your body hurts in the morning. This is a great training video for new soldiers on the importance of doing Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services,( PMCS). I would bet that the Tire Pressure lbs per square inch are still stenciled right on fender so you can start out with the correct tire inflation. Great video.

Now imagine operating one of those for over a decade and a half Putting up with what you dealt with on your trip more often than you’d like to!!! Funny thing is I miss those times!!! Tip for next time you go camping in it. Lay a stretcher across the back seats and put a partially folded blanket on it. Makes it way better to sleep in it!
