Thanks for the link, how much are these going for at the end auction times, also will parts be available.

Looks like prices have come down but some of the most recent ones selling are junk. I would imagine finding parts would be difficult, if not extremely expensive.

If they came complete for the starting bid, it might be a fair gamble. As soon as things started breaking down, you might have different feeling about your purchase due to no availability of replacement parts. The Marines rode them hard & put them up wet, so to speak. With that in mind, plus the fact that they are dumping them out in droves, they must not be fulfilling the roles they were designed for in the first place. Can we adapt them for civilian life, some guys can make anything work; especially if no one is shooting @ them. I still pass on them even if they are cool looking.

If I could, I would. Those things are badass. If you can get one that works upfront, It would be great if I had my own ranch to run around on. better than some cookie cutter Polaris thing.

I've got one of these I'm selling within next few weeks once I get the title which should be any day. Less than 600 miles on it and that includes about 100 ranch miles I've driven. This one was bought in one the early auctions out of Albany, GA and I bought two of them (both 2012's one I'm keeping has the rear bimini and bar, one selling does not). See pics and a few videos here if interested- https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ytai0oeqa8fyoqa/AAAUlmpbPe1x42hr-A7G_oM_a?dl=0

Happy to answer any questions about it, very cool and capable vehicles and this one removes the "gamble" from the auction. I'd part with it at 32K firm and can help coordinate shipping if it helps. Vehicle is near Abilene, TX to use for shipping estimate.

Hey I know I might be a couple months late, but if you still own one of these Cutch, would you by any chance be able to see who built the starter for the Growler. We have one that is missing the starter and I have no way of finding one or even finding a part number or who made it. Any help in identifying the starter would be super appreciated.

call or message asking for commercial equivalent to starter for growler engine?

granted you already probably tried that?

Thank You, I have tried to get at least some info from Navistar Defense, so far unsuccessfully. Even a picture up close of a Growler starter would help me a lot since I don't even have anything to compare to the starters used on other MWM Sprint applications.
