Unless you are a gear head and have some deep pockets. I don't recommend you buy one. I was an Army mechanic for 10 years and worked on thee vehicles all of the time. These vehicles have issues and require constant maintenance. Most issues came from the generator/alternator, power steering and starters. Some issues where human made. People not waiting for the glow plug wait light to go off before starting the engine. It will start at first but after a while the glow plugs will start to swell/glow plug controller will go out. They also have a PCM that likes to go out from time to time. People that don't know any better will try to use eather to get them to start. Not a good idea. If the glow plugs swell you will catch hell trying to replace them. If you still want to buy one go for it. Just keep in mind that you will need to have plenty of tools/know how to keep these bad boys running smoothly especially if you live in the colder climates. Good luck all! ;)
EDDIE LEAL just swap the motor and your good
let's not forget the fact that nearly every one of them is driven by people fresh out of high school and fully aware that it is not their own vehicle.
If you get one off a private owner you can at least have some form of assurance as to what's been going on, assuming the owner refurbished everything important.
EDDIE LEAL not to mention finding parts is ridiculously expensive and I’ll most likely need new switches, gauges, lights, etc... which can really add up because these things are beat up and left in the rain, I’ll just shoot for a H1 thanks
Most of the problems and horror stories with maintaining military hummers in active service comes from the fact that the military is not allowed to use aftermarket parts, absolutely everything it uses must be tied to a supply contract.
That means an AM General alternator going out because it's badly made will result in an identical badly made AM General alternator replacing it. Civilians on the other hand have the luxury of the open marketplace where it's usually going to be a one time matter of adapting a different part to work.
The military also can't do things like a Cummins swap, so whatever issues it has with the engine are only fixed when the military tells AM General to send them better engines.
This problem is the main reason why the military dumped AM General, and awarded the replacement to the reliability king, Oshkosh.
AC Delco 60G self-regulating glow plugs will keep them from swelling.
This guy: "tHis iS a miLiTarY hUmMer"
Humvee: "AM I A JOKE TO YOU?"
Who are you referring to?
@@CHASINGPROFITS who do you think ??
@@sanjitsinghall you?
@@CHASINGPROFITS definitely you. It's a Humvee. Not a Hummer. You should know better
@@IAG-Co-Ltd yes i do however regular people know them and see them and refer to them as hummers so thats why i placed the title and kept saying it so big tech can up the ranks in my video
There are 2 main contracts, one from the Marine Corps, = Clean SF97 ( Highway use) and there is the other contract from DLA (Defense Logistics Agency) = Non Clean SF97 (Has Stamp Off Road Use only). You have to choose your humvee correctly online.
I live in WA. State, and bought mine from a local guy that sells them as a hobby. No problem with paperwork here! Got my registration and plates in 15 minutes, and my title in less than two weeks. Best part, I put on on the same insurance policy as my collector car, for $95 per year!
Peter Mashak peter please pm me
Peter Mashak where did you buy it in Washington! plz pm me!
Any further info on this? Like where to buy....
Where did you buy it from
Thank you for the information, greatly appreciated!
$1000 shipping isn't bad shipping a humvee. I paid $800 to have a transmission shipped through 3 states.
for the absolute love of FN everything stop calling it a hummer.
Well said!! It’s a Hmmwv or a Humvee. A Hummer is a GM brand.
Agreed.
Stfu, I drove these bitches in the army as a cab scout and we called them hummers 🙄
I've bought a lot of 5 tons off gov plant and never had much trouble i can say a bill of sale and de-milled form are a lot easier to title and you can change the gvw and insure it as RV uses $40 a month
How do you change the GVWR? I want to register one in Cali, but they banned all commercial vehicles with engines older than 2010.
Military version is NOT a Hummer, its a HMMWV or Humvee ... Hummer is only the civilian version.
The soldiers gave the hmmwv the nicknames hummer and humvee. that's how the civilian version got its name.
Was about to say that
Yeah. Hummer is a company that makes Hummers. Am general makes/ made humvee's
I was in the army we never called it a hummer.
Hummer is not a company. AM General made both the Humvee and Hummer. General Motors later bought the rights to the Hummer brand name allowing them to market the Hummer H2 and 3 Thus why we refer to the original Hummer as the H1.
Thank’s for the info because, I’m interested in purchasing one !
Great points and tips you made. Very well organized thoughts. I agree with a lot of what you mentioned. Great video!
This video could be 2 minutes long
Great advice.
After spending years in the army infantry and seeing how these vehicles are treated and how they drive and everything I don’t understand why people want these things. Idk about ones online but all the ones we had broke down constantly
You don't need an sf97 document to get a title for a Humvee. It'll also work with a bill of sale which is a much cheaper option to go with. When you go to get a title you'll have to provide an invoice showing that you purchased a vehicle for tax purposes and to show that you are the one who actually purchased the vehicle. You will also need to have a VIN check done on the vehicle. You can obtain a title without registering the vehicle and inspection does not have to be done other than a VIN check in most States when obtaining strictly a title. If you do go to register the vehicle on your state requires safety and emissions you will have to add some things to the Humvee so it will pass safety. You are required to have a light for your license plate however aside from this in most States that is mainly the only thing you have to install on the Humvee to make it legal because it is already equipped with all the other appropriate things necessary to pass that is if the vehicle has been gone through and you check the brakes and make sure everything in that regard are functioning properly.
A lot of states are now catching on to these Humvees being purchased off govplanet and are putting in regulations to prevent them from being registered on Road. You have to go through several hurdles to get them Street legalized in the states that are buckling down on these regulations.
really? regulations now? before getting a humvee was a pain because of off-road use only. At least newer models don't have off-road use only
Thank god my stand only cares about major components
Tyson Capel I needed reverse lights.
Ty Very Informative.
thankyou sir
I love your back drop brother
Maybe they screwed you cause you keep calling it a military hummer
Thank you for the info ... and also, thank you for NOT using some creepy computer voice.
I've street legalled a "homemade motorcycle" (ohv with swapped frame in a not-dualsport-friendly state). Street legaling these should not be hard. DMV form signed by state police saying theyve inspected the vin, and either (depending on state) a signed statement by you or DOT inspection signed by a dealership/mechanic attesting that it has all required DOT approved lights, tires, and a horn. Tho this was the process to do a bike, I imagine it should be just about identical..
great info
This is not a Hummer. Hummers are inspired by this, which is actually an Am General HMMWV, but the Hummer is a luxury rendition. HMMWV means Highly Mobile Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, and can be referred to as a Humvee.
Decades ago, military service people in the field originally nicknamed the HMMWV a Humvee and Hummer too. Later General Motors trademarked and marketed the Hummer name to sell H1, H2, and H3's. H1s and the middle third of the H2 were designed and built by AM General at the former Hummer factory. H3's were completely a General motors Hummer design based off of the Chevy Colorado and GMC canyon truck frames. They are all great medium duty off-road vehicles.
The first Humvee I ever bought from govplanet took 90 days before it was released to me. The second one took about 95 days before it was released to me. If you have an issue with them going to be on the time frame they list call them. At about the 94 day mark for the second Humvee I gave them a call and said hey you guys haven't released the item to me yet and it's been past 90 days. Well they were on the phone with me they called the necessary Department to get the Humvee released. I was then able to pick it up the next day. If you have this issue just give him a call they're pretty good at working with you most of the time.
Tyson Capel glad yoy had a positive outcome tyson, which mine was not hopefully next time it will be better.
Tyson, Thank you for your information, its has been very helpful.
Thanks Tyson, just bought a hmmwv from govplanet. Good info 👍
Nice Video. Very helpful.
JKIf you do it correctly you can go on base and remove the Humvee yourself.Most everything else was spot on.The crazy wait time was the worst part.They expect you to pay right away but then they have your money and your truck for months and months.Then finally you get your truck and still have to wait for paperwork to title it...Crazy...
Funny how it's easier to buy an AR-15 or an AK-47 and lots of ammo, and pressure cookers and all kinds of other dangerous things in one visit to Wall Mart, yet you cannot buy an old Army Jeep.
Keven Paulson, I agree with you. After spending 6 years in the Marine Corps we called them Humvees. HMMWV = HUMVEE. The civilian version is called Hummer. No Military literature designates it the Hummer. Just a rookie mistake.
Will you stop calling the military version “Hummers?” They are not call or referred to as Hummers. They are Humvee’s. Thanks
Or you can buy one from Plan B Supply for $25,000. They take care of all that and they can also add creature comforts if you want them.
they are not all titled off road use, mine came with a clean sf97
What year did you get and model?
Prices are pretty high right now. I see humvees on auction go for 10k, just simple pick up body, no doors and no roof.
How is this with the shipping when you‘re in another country? For example Germany
A hummer is a luxury vehicle. A humvee is anything but a luxury vehicle.
Edit: I AM WRONG, the brand HUMMER got its name from the HMMWV (Humvee)
Ty C th
Thanks mom
Hey you commented, I feel special.
That was a stupid comment seeing the “luxury vehicle” got its name from soldiers during the 90s.
Next time but a mic. The room echo is super annoying.....
I'm thinking it would be a whole lot easier being active military to pick it up.
I herd you saying "S. Florida" any honest mechanic to recommend in Miami...?
" I'm not gonna go into detail on how to get a ""military hummer"" onto the street , nor will I promote it". Well then what in the hell are we here for? Wow dude.
wowwwwzaaaa
If I put a AR in the background, people might take my video seriously.........It's a HMMWV or HUMVEE......not a HUMMER
Hey vern do me a favor and put a humvee in front of thw other 98% of the people who view this video and ask them if they know what an hmmwv is. Guess what they dont and that's why the video is called "hummer" and not hmmwv if you knew anything about SEO you would understand. And thats exactly why you found my video 📹. Because of a guy who understands what it takes to get views. Lol btw thanks for yours!
what if I’m military but buy it from gov planet?
Very informative. One question left unanswered: Since there are off-road titled, how does pickup work?
next video
@@CHASINGPROFITS Great!
“Hummers” and “Humvees” are completely different
Sir Jack_ no there not
Also called Iron Planet
What was your experience with how much they went over their initial asking price?
Aaron not sure what your question is? When we purchased our Humvees we got them for about 6 to 7k a piece. Keep in mind that was when the wave was just starting.
@@CHASINGPROFITS , I see several listed around 6k, was curious if they stayed close or went way over. Thanks for the quick response! And all in all, happy you did it or was it more a pain in the ass?
@@ajvdub we stayed close to that condition is key! If your doing it to make money I would say think of another route. Its just alot of work for $500 -$1000
Is it possible to get a Humvee from India?
Can you mount a m2 50cal browning machine gun on a hummer?
Fluz capacitor
Kevin Wang on a h1 you could
If you want a military humvee go look up plan B they have them in stock and already titled and street legal
I want to buy one. Do you know more about it thnx.
I'm in how much?
How much would it cost to refurbish a military humvee?
If you have to ask, you don't want to know. It's not the refurbishment that'll get you... it's the constant repairs. Heh.
Rav Z to make it civilianized or at least functional ? Well off the bat you’re probably gonna have to change all the lights $800, new seats $1000, good idea to change fluids/glow plugs $600, Doors run about $1000 per door if you want hards, and a hard roof can cost $1800-$3000, iron curtains like $2000, no to mention most of these need fiberglass/bodywork or rust treatment, and those 6.2 diesels which a majority had ended up having a recall on the mold which caused the valves to crack... I originally wanted one too but after doing research, I either want one from the 2000s or just one someone already had done work on and is just over it, the military didn’t take care of these
@@AsianNIGMA You can also buy a new f-250 for $45k. Or just buy a humvee with 50miles on it for $8k. No brainer. People who dont work on their vehicles themselves pay up the ass for repairs. And having been in the army myself and driven humvees through the Iraq desert for 1 year, i can say we never had any issues as we did PMCS after every mission. Solid vehicles.
Humvee gosh damn it!
no one searches for the term Humvee
Clicked this vid just to say its not a hummer darn it
Keith Waswa 50k views no one cares
Oh ok thanks
You didn’t say a whole lot
I am from overseas i was plan to buy humvee from govplanet but i can't because i am not US citizen ..so i plan to a family in US to buy that for me ..because i need those to going to the mud i tired running with my truck by now...please can someone advice me?
CHRIS i have no proble assisting call me whats app 1 954 3946581
is it hard to get california title if it has offroad use only? and became street legal
Raffy Magaling Its Commiefornia... What do you think? Better off lookin at Plan B in Utah. They sell Humvees that they've made to brand new standards, put in actual seats, checked and changed all filters, fluids etc and they're street legal as well. It'll cost about $28k or more depending on the packages and extras you want. Personally, I'm goin that route! It'll cost you about that or more buyin an auction beat up Humvee and tryin to transfer it! Then, you still gotta hope you can get it street legal and fix whatever's wrong... Cheaper and you get a way better deal at the end. I'm in Barstow CA, right by Fort Irwin.
Unless you have one which was registered before 1998, you are probably out of luck. The engine is not California compliant, so it cannot be registered without swapping the motor and installing smog equipment for a 2010 or newer engine.
@@benevolenthighwayman882 Damn, I want one, so this is just another reason to leave the state.
@@GrySgtBubba So did you ever go for it and get one, and registered it in Ca? Just asking, I want one really bad.
@@ibberman No I have not. I gave up on that dream in this state as far as an overland rig that's also street legal. Like someone else above stated, it's next to impossible to even register one 98 and older simply because the DMV doesn't know what to classify the HMMWV. As far as the engine goes...you'd have to drop ina Cali compliant diesel, but you'll still have an issue at the DMV. Goin through a company that restores them and street registers them outside of California is still the best bet. IMO honestly, it's not worth it in this state.
How many times are you going to keep saying MILITARY HUMMER....OUCH
What did you pay per vehicle?
7000 when they first came out
Can you own a Humvee in Florida and use it as a daily driver
Of course you can
I wonder if you can get it faster if your a veteran.
You mean HMMWV OR "HUMVEE"
Wait. So are you saying our govt is Fucking incompetent? This is my shocked face. 😑
I would love to get me one but there not worth the pain of getting one.
It’s not a hummer it’s a HMMWV
Does it process quicker if you’re ex military?
That is actually a great question, I am assuming here because I am not ex military. However I am sure the process for the background check will be shortened. That is if they actually are working on your file. This company is extremely backed with getting the paperwork done up they sell 200-300 items every auction they have! I am sure it really has nothing to do with a quote "BACKGROUND CHECK" I think a background check takes 2 weeks max per person.
Im from mexico can i get one?
Does govplanet ship to Canada?
no they dont has to go to a freight forwarder
Did you ever get your title lol
I received SF97 with all four of my HMMWVs (Humvee).PSHummers are wimpified HMMWVs, for man bun wearing, purse carrying dudes
Uh Humvees are the military version and Hummers are for civilians.
We got another one people SMH
@@CHASINGPROFITS So, what’s the problem with the correction?
We all know this! However people who are interested in knowing about and are noobs to humvees do not call the humvees! Thats why I was calling them military hummers as no one is going to search for humvee 9 out of 10 civilians will call this a HUMMER
Hence almost 200k views on the clock
@@CHASINGPROFITS Well, in that case it makes sense.
How do I get them road legal
Put an M2 .50 cal on top.
Only the civilian version?. Same assembly line same thing, alot more stuff iinside. Buy humvees, buy,buy,buy. I have always wanted a sea of humvees driving around, clubs,trail rides truck shows and the rest. Real american (real 4x4's) and all over the world. Clubs everywhere. Pretty biased O.K. there's a h-1 in the garage maybe that's why i like them. What about all the former military mechanics to work on these beasts in civiian life, they really do need a lot of work.
Dont buy a hmv they are garbage, going 30mph feels like you're re-entering earths atmosphere 😂😂
Oh shit! I almost pissed myself 😆
The first thing you need to know that it’s not a hummer it’s a Humvee 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
No one cares 90k views
Just like the governmentr to take forever to do anything. I find it funny how you can get a gun,background check and delivery. Faster then you can get a vehicle that is unarmerd and with no weapons/ weapon attachments.
The NRA has a better lobbying arm, and bribes more US congress members. Oh thats right, its called a campaign contribution. My bad.
@@Orcinus1967 The NRA is not bribing people, silly troll, it is attempting to force our government to abide by the Constitution.
If you were buying firearms from the military and coming on base to receive them, it would take a bit longer.
@@bobski8203 Its the same as a bribe. We get the money out we get our government back.

Isn’t the background check due to the amount of lithium in the batteries?
@@MrFligemon It's probably a logistics issue. There are so many of them, and they cost a lot to ship back and forth. They are being released from bases where they are stored. You need a clearance to enter the base and other clearances to receive an item and remove it from the base. There are reasons for all of this.
Dude looks like Steve Carell

They're... already street legal. Literally all you have to do is slap on a vehicle tag/license plate. All the systems on them are all that is needed for street legal use.
Really, all you have to do is make sure the title through your DMV is set up properly.
He does this on purpose so people don't catch on and beat him on bids trying to buy online. Clever he does not get into specifics.

#It is a Humvee
MIlitary versions are called Humvees. Civilian versions are Hummers.
and titles that say humvees dont get the seo hummer does!
It’s just wired to hear you say military hummer......
It's a Humvee... for God's sake.
Shit ill use my mil status and go pick it up personally.
Hmmwv is it real name.. but civilians will never know
and titles that say humvees dont get the seo hummer does!
@@CHASINGPROFITS doesnt change the fact its a humvw.
I’m sorry it’s pronounced Humvee thank you very much
yes me too but youtube is about searching and the people who dont know what its called say HUMMMMMMMMEEEEEERRRRRR
1. It's not a Hummer it's a HMMWV.
libertynindependence really?
how about shipping it in europe? is it even possible?
I don’t understand the intent of buying these vehicles.. is there a civilian market or is this guy just coco for humvees?
SO is it a scam?????
It's not military hummer dude. It's military HUMVEE. Looked you should be the one to know first. lmao
And he gets salty about it when people correct him 😂
How much did you pay for the Hummers
6000 each that was when they first started though
did he really say military hummer? the fuck is that?
Any one who is a u.s citizen can pick up there humvv with all his her paperwork but if you have the bank roll to pay the shady shipping companies that say BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH and it’s going to be this and that BS. I’m in the trucking industry and I know all garbage that’s thrown around and then tell the trucking company it only pays x amount of money while on the ather hand they rape customers. So be careful and do ur homework better off Renting a car trailer and doing it yourself if you have a pick up truck. You won’t regret it.
Tacticool 😂
question: can you do something about lowering the engine noise?!
why, they sound great straight piped
i plan to make changes and pull a rv trailer for long range driving
You can't change the sound of a diesel but you can insulate the cab and engine compartment to make it less noisy while driving
how is it for longer distance driving?
tom loong most of these Humvees come with 3-speed transmissions and top out at about 60 miles an hour. If the speed doesn't bother you then longer trips aren't too bad as long as you change out the seats with good civilian ones. They Ride nice and smooth but they're a bit loud however you can reduce the sound Levels by spraying a rubberized coating or a coating similar to Line-X inside the cab and also on the underside of the hood or for the best sound deadening spray the whole vehicle in it cuz it significantly reduces the vibrations and reduces sound from the engine.
Hey, did anyone else say that it is a HUMVEE?
no noone at all
That’s a Humvee not a hummer
Judging from all the comments below .... this dude doesn't completely understand what he's talking about.
