I bought a cheap HMMWV at GovPlanet auction and it's already broken!
I can't stop myself, is there a support group for GovPlanet addicts?
In this video I go pickup a 2006 American General HMMWV that I bought almost 2 months prior. The paperwork on these things can take A LONG time to process.
After retrieving the HMMWV we drive it around and assess how good of a purchase I have made. Then we try to diagnose an overcharging situation that started the batteries on fire!
Help me decide what to do with this cheap military grade off road unit next!

I accidently bought a Semi Truck at GovPlanet auction. And had to drive it 3 hours home.

Yep, I tried to run the bid up and ended up winning it. It's a 2000 Freightliner FL70 with a 7.2L Caterpillar 3126 6 cylinder diesel backed by an Allison 6 speed automatic. It's a single axle, day cab truck with a 34,000 GVWR. I try to make lemonade out of the deal by cleaning it up in an attempt to relist it to buy items for the house I'm building. It has low miles for a big truck, hopefully c...

I've had this car for over a year and I finally found the time to replace it's Achilles heal, the 30 year old Power-Jection III EFI. It was a great unit when there was no competition, but we've come a long ways in 30 years and it shows with unmatched drivability and tunability via Holley's Sniper EFI system. We must first upgrade the leaky intake manifold before we bolt on the Sniper EFI. The s...

    Not sure if you'll get the notification for this but worth a shot. How is the volumn after the exhaust upgrade? I removed the spark arrestor completely for a while as at the time it was the poor man's exhaust mod. Sounded good but performance was noticeably worse and after riding for hours it was way too loud even while wearing helmets the whole time.

    Don't sand the paint yourself unless you wear an N95 respirator with a full-body hazmat suit. The paint dust is carcinogenic. Also, the reason it has so many paint layers under the light is because that's where they stencil the truck/unit number with spray paint.
