I see people claiming the humvee wasn't a military failure, yes it was, just because it was in service a long time doesn't mean it was a good vehicle. Most of the years it was in service was in peacetime, except the Gulf War and a few other occasions before the 2000's. After it was used in Iraq and Afghanistan for years it was shown to be ill-equipped for the job. Scroll through the comments of people who have actually been in the military who've used them for proof, not the wannabe tough guys commenting here. Also, looking at the comments I think it’s funny some people assume this video has something to do with Chris even though nothing is mentioned here. I could care less, I was talking about people in general who buy hummers in the video. Everyone already knows people who buy hummers have serious problems anyways it’s not news. ⬇️Scotty’s Top DIY Tools: 1. Bluetooth Scan Tool: amzn.to/2nfvmaD 2. Mid-Grade Scan Tool: amzn.to/33dKI0k 3.

The H2 was honestly just a GMT800 with a different body on it. I could go on and on about both of these if you want, lol. Love your channel by the way.

[@travistango908]

I get what you’re saying there man, but honestly riding in them for the better half of 5 yrs they were not fast at all or agile lol. Even the ones sent back to the states and broken down to be used on base were slow. Idk man, I watched a humvee windshield take some blasts and hits that makes boots crap their pants. But you’re right, it was meant to be a lot faster than most other vehicles used in the ranks at that time. They had no clue that IEDs would be the main weapon used in Iraq and Afghanistan. Then by the time they got them beefed up, other kinds of transportation was in the works. If I ever go back I hope like heck to get in with a striker unit lol. I’m not trying to test my luck in a humvee no more😂🙌

[@s.p.ltd.3886]

While I agree with you about the civilian Hummer, I disagree about it being under armored as a military vehicle. The original military Hummer was designed as replacement for the M1151 Mutt a Vietnam era Jeep which was a follow up (and slightly larger) WWII era Jeep. Neither of these vehicles were armored as originally produced. The under-armored Hummer was the result of the military using the vehicle in roles for which is was not originally intended.

[@xearo120]

Construction Mechanic 3rd class USN Navy Seabees here; I work on these things all the time and its the same constant issues with them: electrical. We have had to replace tie rod boots on them and you have to replace the entire tie rod end just for a blown boot (Dumb design), the batteries are located underneath the passenger seat which isn't a great place for them and we once had a newer guy arc out a battery with the screws that mount the seat to the cover and caught the HMMWV on fire because the covers were never installed or fell off the screws, the windshield washer pumps always go out, switches and gauges constantly break and if you live in a place with a lot of rain these things leak and collect water inside them constantly which leads to corrosion and mildew/musty-ness. The engine bays are so oddly shaped and cramped that getting anything inside them or out of them is a hassle from the front end, but the rear access from inside the cab is a lovely treat for us mechanics, these things also go through sensors like no other as well, the doors never close correctly or are crooked, the windows never open or close easily but the only thing I can say is they always work even if its difficult to operate them. The A/C is also a known problem to go out all the time, gasket replacement is rampant but I will say this; never had to replace or major overhaul an engine yet but the transmissions are ticking time bombs. Something people always forget about military equipment and gear is this; "LOWEST BIDDER"

Exactly on everything. these things would somehow break sitting in the parking lot of our armory between drills. Last drill it was fine. Next drill the wheels are out of alignment with different torques, the batter dies, starter burns out, just all sorts of weird electrical problems that were supposed to be resolved a month earlier. Out of 8 humvees, 2 were reliable. they were the 2 uparmored ones with badass air conditioners in them. Oddly enough the LMTV and other large trucks worked just fine all the time.

Invaluable information and advice!

[@originalSPECTER]

Scotty, I love your videos but you are completely wrong about the "military failure" of the Humvee. It was designed for conventional warfare and excelled, it's design having been even copied by Toyota who produce the Mega Cruiser for the JSDF. The HMMWV is NOT an APC or designed for unconventional warfare (IEDs, close combat, high threat environments). The military up-armored them to press them into service they weren't originally designed for where they preformed OK, but not ideal. The Humvee is not being completely phased out, it still serves it's original purpose just fine, but the JLTV is designed to be used in unconventional warfare, close in patrols, anti-IED, and is much taller. Also, most military Humvees run on JP8, not diesel.

[@hh1h_334]

Our battalion just moved all our humvees to some faraway motorpool in order to receive shipment of the JLTVs. Also, if people actually watched ChrisFIx's video on his Hummer, it incomparable to the milspec ones. Too much custom work. Scotty is simply talking about the base vehicle itself.

[@Phantom0fTheRouter]

Scotty is simply talking about fiction. You might need a HD jack and jack stands, but that is the case for any real 4x4 truck. Everything on the HMMWV can be worked on with common hand tools, including installing and removing all that up armor that was never part of the original design specifications. Unless you think a simple spanner to loosen and tighten cannon plugs is "Heavy Duty Equipment." The HMMWVs that we are replacing are up to 34 years old, and they were designed to replace all the other light trucks the military used for support.

[@kyle857]

That JLTV is going to be a death trap if we ever get into a ground war with a real power. Being up high makes it a nice target for every RPG and canon around.
