"if its broken, its military grade" as someone in the military, its nice to see people finally getting that that doesn't mean its better lmao
Brother I tell people this all the time. Military grade is built by the lowest bidder.
@Abigail Slaughter I have yet to experience the best ill ever have part but yeah I get the idea lmao
Military grade...AKA made by the lowest bidder.
Except Aeronautics, air defense systems, and naval ships everything else made for ground troops are given to the lowest bidders.
You aren't in the military.
“If it’s broken, it’s military grade” finally someone gets it.
military gear was made by the cheapest bidders
William Hamer I had so many flash backs when he said that quote.
@@lifestokens7469 that's not true( or at least not alway ) , Military always try to buy reliable equipment and weapon at reasonable price and then they will keep using that s*** until it wreck. that's a reason why Surplus Firearm and vehicle are in a worn out condition.
as an european i'm confused.
military grade is god like, right?
@@Killfrog94 I think it's about if it's broken, but somehow still works, it's military grade.

"If it's broken, it's military grade". Most accurate thing I've ever heard, military equipment is usually made by the cheapest bidder lmao.
True!! Lol 😂
False.
@@lonerider5315 true, thats how you win a bid, you have to bid less than the other guys. It's like the opposite of an auction.
@@c4onmylip it's sort of half/half. Stuff that doesn't matter as much is definitely the cheapest bid. The expensive stuff is the weapons technology that actually matters.
Military equipment is well made but they do not properly maintain their equipment as they are well beyond their life time and used by soldiers who are not careful with it
Instead of a hummer ya got a bummer 😂
They used to sell a kit to turn a Silverado into a hummer and it was called the bummer.
My Shit Been ages since I got a hummer.
Anything not a real H1 is a bummer.

Civilians “ohhh military grade”
Us in the military “military grade run run run”
😂😂😂😂
Military grade is a baseline. At least in the US, you can almost always get better civilian versions of military gear. But military grade gives you a degree of compliance where you can be certain that it meets certain basic requirements for durability and interoperability. The last thing you want is out-of-spec MOLLE or other critical components.
coming from someone who used to work in a factory producing "military grade" components.. there is a lot more scrutiny, and spec compliance when it's a military job then some other civilian customer. doesn't necessarily mean the part is better or of a better material, but it's definitely "up to spec" as they'd say
@@WardenWolf the air force is an exception, they get the best of the best
Hahaha! True

It’s actually a pimp-my-ride rebuild. It started out as a 95 Ford Taurus.
Then Xzibit and the crew got ahold of it...
do you have a video?
Lmmfao 🤣🤣🤣
Not the 95 Taurus lol
Nw Rob now that's funny
They never built anything that solid
“If it’s broken it’s military grade” never heard anything so true haha
I second this

Whether it's thr real deal or a built-from-the-frame-up replica, an H1 is still a good lookin' truck. It had me fooled at first glance too, dudes. 🤣
True either way its a piece of crap
I'd drive it.
@@Abel-Alvarez I thought everyone knew that the HMMWV had portal axles...and everyone can see, on the first glance, that this fake doesn't. And, actually, the guys in this video did spot this right away, right on the first glance.
I wouldn't want to drive a car which basically yells out to everyone: "I'm a fake! Now have a look at the driver!"
Guys that’s a real h1 many ppl do duramax swaps and suspensions soget chances on them so those two thing I wouldn’t be judging by since those are the two biggest changes ppl make to them

Cool! I haven’t seen one of those in about 15 years.

I wonder how many kits were made?

Was waiting for him to flip the camera at the end and the Hummer be sitting there lol...I paid too much!
@Robert Elmo
I can’t believe that I watched the whole video for that!!
He went home without the Ford chassis Hummer!!!
They never bought it - its a fake/staged video that they made knowing it wasn't real to begin with. C'mon you think this really happened IRL? Everything he puts out lately is staged and pre-planned.
@@metromusic5725 When he "realized" it was fake, was so fake. This is my first time watching this channel.
I lost it when he was talking about Dodge tire shake as a speed sensor cause may second gen shakes at about 75

Me too. My 05 Silverado let's me know when I'm speeding too lol
time to rebuild that front end then.

"This one doesn't even have the self-vibrating tire feature, so you can't tell how fast you're going."
I have that same feature on my 97 Ford Expedition, courtesy of Hankook mud tires! At 55 you start hearing the tire, at 80 you no longer hear the engine, or the radio, or any of the passengers in the car with you.
It's a Dodge? It's just a question of time! Plus those Fiat EcoDiesels are unreliable AF! FCA Junk!
Is this an American thing? I never heard of this feature before. I'm in Europe tho. And i thought you guys have more silent tyres over there, to make the ride more qiuet on long roads. Or is this an old thing now lol?
@@ElvenMans It's what happens when you put aggressive mud tires on something at higher speeds. Most cars and highway-type vehicles come with less aggressive, quieter, lower-rolling-resistance tires. People who go offroad(or "want" to go offroad) put big, knobby tires on trucks(and anything else they have) these tires are good for mud, sand etc... Highway noise is much higher though.
I'm buying me some of those tires tomorrow
Got 37x13.5 super swampers on my 97 f150, hitting 60 in that thing is the ultimate adrenaline rush
The cut scene going into Oklahoma with the car in the ditch killed me lmao. 😂💀
Great channel, always lotsa fun !!!
You can buy decommissioned humvee’s from the government.
Im from Mishawaka Indiana. Where AM General is located. I can confirm this is bullshit. If it isnt fake its been gutted. Ive seen plenty and have friends and family who have built them. When decommissioned they just remove armour plating.
@@Stonecon Not bullshit bud...a quick google search would have saved you embarrassing yourself. They're not sold by AM General, they're government surplus. Richie Brothers auctions decommissioned government surplus Humvee's ALL THE TIME. You can literally find it on google. Here, I'll help you out - www.govplanet.com/Humvees
It may make a cool farm/ranch truck to tow/haul things around a decent sized piece of property.
But decommissioned hummers are generally not street legal for non-military use. It's not impossible, but it's not easy and not guaranteed.
“If it’s broken, it’s military grade.” You have no idea my friend. You have just begun to scratch the surface haha
That “it sounds like a 6 liter with no oil” hit a little too close to home. 01 2500 suburban 4x4 with 247,000, she has that lifter clack on cold starts
they all do, ive got a 6.0 thats been doing that for 5 years and still going.
If it doesn't have that clack, time to trade it in
How have I only just found your channel now ? I watch and sub to loads of content like yours, but you make great videos and content and you are so entertaining and hilarious.
If i see Military grade on something, I usually don't buy it.. Miltary grade usually means to the lowest bidder lmao
“If it’s broken, it’s Military grade”. Dude, you had me dying. Lmfao
The army truck is like a scratched Cd you don’t know when it works
Kids these days, what's a cd? 😂
And buffing the hell out of it with the skip doctor isn’t promising either.

Ptrckdeving that made my day but I can never forget when the cd was like oh were watching something and just stops playing the cd the ah the good times
CZcams reccomended this. Now I gotta subscribe these fools is hilarious 😂😂😂
I cannot get enough of you!! Keep up the quality content 👌
all different parts make me think of that johnny cash song "one piece at a time"
recently discovered your channel and love it. love your builds and humor. I am working to catch up on all your videos. keep them coming and expertly cataloged
This guy is great he is hilarious 😂
Came across you a couple weeks ago and I can’t get enough
go buy one on gov planet they got plenty of them there between 7-15k
Gerardo Guijarro yes. Yes it is. They got completely rebuilt to completely clapped out genuine military Humvees
I bought a surplus hmmwv from there a few months ago. It has 45 miles on it. Not 45k, just 45 and it is a 1999 m1097a2. The site is legit.
he said he is looking for a hummer H1 not a mil humvee
@@kennkrizsanitz7820 i mean he already has the truck why not get a humvee and put a 12valve?
Kenn Krizsanitz what he was looking at wasn’t a H1 Hummer. The body was based on the military M988 Humvee.
You are simply hilarious, we were giggling when we watched it thanks for the great show.
Really truly did appreciate your great sense of humor and quick wit.
"Sounds like a 6litre with no oil in it" gots me dying lol!!!
love your humor man!
I was in the Marines back in the early 90's as a truck driver. The Hummers were junk from the get go. We had to work on them all the time.
Literally EVERY frucking military vehicle needed to be worked on all the time...
MCH2016! That’s cause us DirtBoyz tore the hell outta everything we touched. I absolutely would not buy any vehicle that came from any unit I was in. Lol
@@MrTimjames343 Because people drove them like the tax payer paid for it. If they stole it they would take better care of it.
I was a 11B for 12 years. I know all about routine PMCS... and our driving habits..
Especially once they started getting up-armored with zero other modifications to the engine and suspension. I broke so many things driving those in Iraq lol
Westen uploading before a weeks time? It’s like Christmas Day!
hopefully a 3rd one tomorrow
“Dude you’re the wrong way!! What happened?”
“Oklahoma”
🤯🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤯
Every vid I see of him he be turning on a car that hasn’t been on for months 😭😭😭 love this
I am all the way in California, and Westen freaking brings a smile on my face each time he does vlog. Then he mentions Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear and the Grand Tour, Westen your just as good as JC minus the accent. Dig the videos, keep them coming!
There was a guy making kits back when, GM made him stop when they were bringing the H2 out. Most of them were on suburban chassis.
I remember when there were Hummer kits to convert a GM truck or Suburban into a Hummer. They were like $5-10k 15-20 years ago, depending on what you wanted.
Bummer kit!
Yeah, the Bummer was just one of several kits made. I had one. It was great and could eat a real H1 for breakfast.
I remember the gorilla kits. 4x4 off-road on powerblock tv made one years ago
there are kits all over north america
I really like it!
I love you guys and going to subscribe lol
3:18 ahaha sooooo true! First video I've watch and I'm hooked ! Time to catch up
You could also tell from the wheels. H1 hummers have an air system for the tires to keep them aired up. Even the civilian model has it.
That's military grade though
There's one down the rd from me been there a couple of years now and it has a forsale sign on it too bad I'm in Ontario Canada
9:41 Canadian built ZENN (you can see the steering wheel says ZENN).
Stands for Zero Emission No Noise, as it has a small electric motor. Was
meant to be a small neighbourhood car only suitable for slow roads
around crowded cities. Top speed 25 mph / 40 kph and has a 40 mile / 64
kph range. They were going to produce a faster and longer range version
in 2009, but it never went into production. I think they were made
in/near Quebec? Maybe Eastern Ontario. I'm Canadian so.
Best brotherhood ever ♥️, godbless
Its worth spending the time with westen. Hilarious AF😂😂
Her name is Steve 😂😂😂😂 I love it
The "chunky man" is funny n always happy !!
9:52 Electric golf cat with window's XD
He's actually pretty close. That's basically what a first gen ZENN is. It has a top speed of 25 mph / 40 kph.
That was brilliant. Couldn’t stop laughing all the way through. Keep them coming Wes. Top marks for the review on the ram 🐏 😂
as heartbroken as me at prom when I went accompanied and left alone. lol

The wheels start to shake... I guess it has the sense of OH NOOOO I'M GOING TO DIE😂😂😂😂😂
Who else likes before watching Westen, because they know it's gonna be a pleasure to watch.
Why didn't you tell us the amount it sold for, rather than just saying "Close to what a real hummer should have sold for"?

That's a solid mullet brah, props
You are HYSTERICAL. I'm subscribed!
Genuinely surprised by the knowledge portrayed. Definitely a real mechanic.
It was a kit that came out years ago when the Hummer was new. They sold you a body which you mount on your chassis. You supply all the small pieces to complete. The quality is as good the owner skills.
8:23 "Hi, my name is Steven."
Moves like a real tank with that transfer case
"It sound like a 6 liter with no oil in it" 😂😂😂😂 the laugh sealed it
Just get an ex military hummer there way cheaper then convert it to civilian use
As far as I know. They technically aren’t road legal.
@@redneck2994 because they are AM General and meant for the military. They are too wide. The civilian Hummer H1's are slightly narrower so that they are road legal.
@@redneck2994 you can get one over 25 years old and register it as an antique in certain states
You can buy them through govplanet.com in auctions. Yes you can register them and get plates too.
Brian Young I saw one in Washington State about two weeks ago on the road with plates on it. I know there are quite a few registered in Idaho as well. I see them pop on on Craigslist occasionally. I’m not sure all the hoops you have to jump through but it is definitely possible in certain states.
This was a pretty kickass video 🤘 and you never told me to like and subscribe, liked and subscribed. Hell yeah brother
"I show up and her names Steve" Hahahaha!

The transfer box is not the only thing that's big and meaty.
Hearing him talk about rough pickups reminds me of the one I just took home today. 1983, max at 60mph, 4th gear gets angry and 2nd gear maxes at 15mph, so you chill in 3rd all the damn time. steering is super loose and brakes are really hard to push down. But $800 is $800 and the 351W is running healthy, so that's all that matters, right?
