Picked up a HMMWV Humvee from GovPlanet, first drive in Texas

[@dieselburner4461]

Getting mine soon from gov planet can’t wait to take my son out

[@ybeykoz]

have you done anything on this, update or fixing wise? I know that most of those vehicles are not taken care of very well, just to running condition.

[@TheCarDad]

The truck has been very reliable for the past year and a half. I just yesterday had a problem with the starter which I ordered new parts to fix but overall mechanically it's been solid.

[@theactivist7]

How much did you get it for once the auction was closed?

[@TheCarDad]

$7900 winning bid, about 9k with all fees and taxes

[@billives2475]

I also live in Las Vegas and recently purchased a hmmwv. Can you please tell me how you registered it?

[@colinmoriarty]

What are the fans you see on top of the slant back models?

[@TheCarDad]

Those are for Red Dot A/C units

[@rollinghumvee2283]

Let me know how long it takes you to get the SF 97 form.

[@TheCarDad]

I got it about 30-40 days after I picked up the truck

[@rollinghumvee2283]

@@TheCarDad purchased humvve in July 7th. Sent out EUC same day, picked up Humvee first week of October, received sf97 forum December 30th of 2019.

You should join us on the custom Hmmwv on Facebook.

@@TheCarDad That's great I'm under HumGee.

[@GearreportdotCom]

Congrats! Looks like your little one really digs it. 😁 What was the loud rattly noise in the video?

[@TheCarDad]

That was the troop transport sears out back

[@GearreportdotCom]

Ah. I wondered. It was too persistent to be the more common worn out steering components popping noise common on auction trucks. :)

[@TheCarDad]

@@GearreportdotCom yeah, the truck has been converted to a 4 man soft top, rattling noises have decreased since scrapping the folding troop benches

[@maddrummer910]

I do notice the 2 man troop transports go for a little cheaper....how much did you drop to make it a 4 man soft top?

[@Chicosfinest420]

Is it CA street legal?

[@TheCarDad]

Depends on who you talk to at DMV

[@michaelkreitz]

Looks more like Arizona than Texas

[@52ponybike]

What kind of hell on earth do you live in? Ugh, desert. One would think you'd grow tired of the constant rattling inside the truck and from the 6.2 diesel. Find a mudhole and show us what it can really do.

[@TheCarDad]

That's the Vegas desert, and the rattling is from the troop seats which were removed shortly after this video was taken.

[@calebwillis8740]

How much did you give for it? I’ve been watching them just curious about a ball park on one.

[@TheCarDad]

Caleb Willis 7k winning bid, add taxes, fees, transport, it's about 9-10k by the time its home

[@calebwillis8740]
