    Repaint is normal on these if anything I would choose one of them, it means the vehicle was inspected a lot, meaning good maintenance and whomever it was assign to took pride wanted to make sure it looked good. I personally remember a lot of plp doing so in my unit.

    Things have changed. California & Florida ARE now pulling on road titles from people (2022) . Once a On Road rig changes hand it gets the on Road changed to Off road only. They are NOT issuing on road titles. Not sure about other states. Do your due dillagence on G503 or Steel soldiers. I have 5 rigs from GP that I have legally put on the road with clean titles and registration. The most obvious sign of wear is the brake and has pedals.

    Hi there! I'm from St. Charles County here in MO!!! Great job on your videos, very informative and easy to understand. I have a few questions, do you happen to know anything about LMTV? I want to buy one and build it as an Overlanding vehicle. While researching, I came across your channel and you interested me in Humvees. Therefore I did some digging and noticed there are some boxes you can add to the back of the Humvee, what do you know about it? are they easy to install? Do you have a mechanic or know someone that could come with me to inspect any of the vehicles I am interested in buying? I'll pay for it the help (Within the MO area). And last but not least, is there any other way I can get in touch with you? I would like to pick in your brain regarding Military vehicles...thanks

      The reason for this is likely due to single fuel policies. Most Humvees, like other diesel engine vehicles in the military are run on JP8, which is an aviation fuel. While convenient, it has a lower lubricity than diesel fuel. The DOD has commissioned studies that indicate that the use of aviation fuels in compression engines results in premature wear and deterioration of the engine and fuel system components. When I was overseas the big failure point on those was injection pumps. The lack of lubrication combined with the intense heat meant they went south in a hurry. Didn't have to replace that many engines though-a little blowby and the engine will still run fine for a long time.

I had a lot when I was in that took up to 15-20 seconds of cranking before they would kick over. theses things get used and abused. they are treated worse than rental cars. and they are designed to break in a way that a simple part swap will fix them.

A nice soft top M1123 shouldnt go for more than 35k - 45k, a hard top probably no more than 55k and a slant back no more than 60k. This is good working condition and cleanly build. You could get a basic rig with little to no mods and a soft top for more like 30k.
