    Hey Matt, I have a 1988 M998, soft doors, soft top, cargo cover over the bed, 6.5L engine, woodland camo. I love mine too! Get you a radio rack for the interior off eBay! You can mount so much stuff to it. Also your back seats can fold down to extend your bed. They have 2 twist locks and the back of the seat pulls out and you just lay it down flat and use the twist locks to secure it to the floor. The hood is fiberglass and it's pretty strong but you're not supposed to walk on it. Get you a brush guard and mounting kit. It has pull out pins so it folds down and you can open your hood. If you don't have the deep water forwarding kit then don't go in water deeper than 30 inches! The engine and trans dip sticks aren't water tight! The deep water forwarding kit comes with the snorkel, tall exhaust pipe, and sealed dip sticks. The front window folds down for transporting the Humvees in ships, saves room. Get you a CB radio from President. They are 24 volt rated and make yourself an aluminum adapter plate for the antenna mount on the back so you can mount a CB antenna. The turn signal is actually authentic military, not aftermarket. However your keyed ignition is aftermarket. Military Humvees have no keys, just a switch. I hope yours is the 6.5L because the 6.2L engines aren't reliable. And never, ever, EVER try to start the engine before the wait light goes off or you will mess up your glow plugs and they'll swell up and get stuck in the engine, not fun! I was in the Marines for 5 years and my co-worker was a Humvee mechanic for 10 years in the Army so contact me if you have any questions. I hope yours has a fuel access panel under the rear passenger plywood panel on the tunnel. Makes replacing the sending unit in the fuel tank easy. Dropping the tank is a pain in the ass!
    Hope you have fun with yours because I love mine too!
    PS: download the -10 operator's manual, the -20 service manual, and the -30 service manuals. Those are your Humvee bibles.

      as I sold my Company - so I sold the little collection too, to a young Enthusiast, knowing, will be in good hands, price was not important, but had had - tears.
      A Humvee I guess will be the right (last?) toy for aged boy... for my manor, country side.
      You are lucky man, have *Family., Me all my life found more interesting life, girls, woman,
      new flowers in new fields..(thought ..No - married woman *No -cry).. today I feel = better has been married in younger times, and have to have childs,
      so my life is poorer now, my Sport-Horses, doggies, walked one after theother to *Walhalla. Other side also luck, we - Germans - had had no war - after 1945, instead

    I got to field test these at Fort Hood when they first came out and replaced the Jeeps. When all you've had were the Jeeps, these things were beastly. Your little field test was soft - we did things in the Hummer that I couldn't believe a vehicle was doing. We were so happy to turn in the Jeeps at the salvage yard. They didn't care what shape they were in, so neither did we, and we did everything we could to absolutely trash the Jeeps at the yard.

      Fellow mechanic as well both heavy wheel and light wheel former active duty army. Agree whole hearted the hubs leaked after every rotation in the field in Germany. Had mud and sand up in those hubs consistently and the pain of it all was they didn't last long. It wasn't until I had to work on a hub on a M1070 HET that was the real fun.

  • @jaredsmith6613

    Some ideas for the hmmwv
    Put a winch, snorkel, performance exhaust (from the guy who made the one for the goblin), some engine mods, a spare tire carrier that goes in the bed (or see if you can do a slant back conversion and put the tire carrier on that), a seat for Linc in the middle of the back so you can carry the whole family, led lights, a military style bumper brush guard.
    Also it is designated as a SUV because a truck would have a bed that is separate from the cab, this is designated as a SUV just like a Chevy avalanche.

    You have purchased a fine vehicle. I had the opportunity several decades ago getting to know he pitchman for HMMVW to the DOD watched a few videos he used. It's more of a beast than people know. Not the best in MPG or speed but no other truck I know can be dropped on to a stump from 18" and not bend or have any damage.

    You need a slant back kit for it. Swap that power plant for a Duramax Diesel, way more power, far better MPG. Have the entire vehicle (inside, outside, undercarriage) line-x'ed. Oh and most important... check the frame for rust. Excellent purchase though sir.

    Seeing you in that little pond reminded me... Years ago, I bought a military CJ3A for a 4WD toy. I took it to a farm pond, went out to the middle and stopped (keeping the RPM's up) because I wanted to see how the 4WD pulled. The water wasn't "deep" deep, but it was plenty inside, and there were decent, muddy hills on all sides of the pond. I took off to climb out, and it just didn't pull like I hoped it would. Oh, it came out with a little spinning, but I wanted that low geared *power*. Disappointed, I reached down to take it out of 4WD and I had never engaged it. It was in 2WD the whole time. For having a flat head 4 banger under the hood, that thing would climb a tree if it wasn't for falling backwards.
