First off, while the piece of string may be six inches I have my wife convinced it is eight.
OK that out of the way
Go back and look at sold items. there are many factors that come into play
Year, location, condition, model, upgrades and so on
Now a few things, not running or not able to start...
SCAR: If you look at some of the trucks that are being sold, obviously came from a private seller, they do NOT say for off road use only..
One that comes from the .mil:
Notices & Restrictions This item is offered for Off-Road Use Only.
Buyer will be required to sign a Hold Harmless Agreement.
Not going to talk titles here as to get the thread locked.
That said, they are sold for "Off Road Use Only" so no matter what the current status it is still Off Road Use Only.
As more of these come out and the publicity grows things like this are going to open the eyes of people watching.
I...
Great people there, They really care about things. When I got there the truck was running, tires were are pressure and we just drove it on the trailer and off we went.
Best experience in a pickup I have ever had....
Looks like the latest paperwork issues and confusion will start to bring prices down again, one can only hope.
One would think that by now they would have had this all figured out.
The second part is if you are watching the auctions, they are selling HUMVEEs that were clearly purchased through...
RULE NUMBER 1. Do not ever expect to get a HUMVEE from surplus that will be turnkey ready to go. Expect to drop around $1000 off the bat to get it to a stable point, more if it is not running...
Some people get lucky, some people get scrap, so it is a roll of the dice.
Expect the fact that you...
Drifting way off topic here, bottom line, M998 rolled over for yet unknown reason and 4 people got really hurt. It goes to show why they do not want these all over the road being driven by people that do not understand the risks. Not saying everyone but enough to justify their decision that they...
PLEASE.. Do not ask anything about "Road Titles"
My info was via a phone call, I asked here to see if it was true or BS.
BlackMajic, please delete your question.. Want to clearly keep with the topic at hand, nothing about On Road..
Thanks
I was told this Yesterday. Guess we have to wait and see.
Word is, to many were getting around the off road only. AGAIN, not asking how, why, anything about making one street legal.
I hate to say but I hope it is true, it will make mine that came from the Marine auction that came with titles...
Nothing about making the HUMVEE street Legal !!!!
I was informed yesterday by one if the big military parts/vehicle suppliers in Delaware that they had gotten an email that gov-planet would no longer be offering the SF-97
Does anyone else know about this, is it true ? ? ?
Not that I care, my...
The covers on mine were pretty bad, steel and cast iron and aluminum all do not play together well. For fun I made the new ones out of 3/4 in Stainless and cut cooling fins in them. Overkill YES. Fun factor 9.9. Time spent, my wife hates my HUMVEEs even more now.
We used a Chevy Silverado 1500 to tow an M1113 6 hours.
It works but tight turns you will need someone to get in the MV and help turn it.
Would I do it again. NO... Second time I got a trailer.
