    I kinda think the big difference you didn't really talk about enough was price. One is like Humvees are like 10k-30k and H1 Hummers are 80k on the low side, most are well over 100k. If you have the money to think about an H1 vs a Humvee then throwing 50k at upgrades to a 30k vehicle is not an issue. You get what you want and are still cheaper than the H1. I'm sure someone makes better doors for Humvees considering how popular they are and how many are being retired and auctioned off to civilians.

    • @PredatorInc
      @PredatorInc  2 роки тому +2

      Unfortunately no on the doors. We have yet to see anything of quality. So there are still h1's that need work for the 20 to 40k range. No mater what, your going to put money into each unless your buying a fully restored hmmwv for 80 to 100k plus or an h1 in the 80k range. End of the day, you can easily have about the same amount of money into both.

  • @JScott-wz2ug
    @JScott-wz2ug 2 роки тому +65

    Being from Arizona the off-road trails here are endless. I think both H1's and Humvee's are becoming collectors items. During the production years I think only about 12,000 H1's were built and who knows how many of those are still on the road or even in the country. On the same note a nicely built H1 with a Duramax conversion will easily push you over $100K including the purchase price of the rig. As capable as they are it's not something you want to bash up on the trail. Get a cheaper Humvee from gov planet and use that for conquering the trails and have the best of both worlds.

    • @JScott-wz2ug
      @JScott-wz2ug 2 роки тому +6

      @@fullmetalwajakensis5443 Most of the trucks are complete. The descriptions on the gov planet website are very thorough. Most of the listings have video clips where you can hear it run and see the gauges for RPM, oil pressure and so on. They try to do their best to describe the vehicle in detail. As far as needing repairs go they will tell you if it drives correctly. They won't know the in-depth mechanical condition of the vehicle. For example, if the ball joints are worn out they won't know that and then that is something you will need to do. These were designed for the military so they made them repairable in the field. These are actually fairly easy to work on. Much easier than their domesticated H1 counterparts. Hope that helped.

    Up armored HMMVEE are awesome for off roading, until you get stuck. We had an SSG that got one stuck in some slick clay, and we had to painstakingly guide a 5-ton backwards through the woods to hook up to it. Once it was there, it was pulled out easily.
    But other than that, we had a blast running some through some trails.

  • @WolfeKustoms

    Great video; very informative! I purchased a 2000 HMMWV from govplanet last year. I went a totally different direction with my HMMWV. I wanted the looks, and I didn't care about the off-roading (I have a Bronco for that). What I really wanted was a HMMWV that I could drive at interstate speeds, so that's what I built. I'm sure my fellow Hummer/HMMWV lovers would consider this sacrilegious, but I put my HMMWV body on a custom built one-ton 2WD chassis. Since my HMMWV had a blown engine, I used a big-block Ford 472 to power it. I also designed/fabricated an entirely new "wagon-style" roof with a 5-inch chop. I built a set of custom doors which was an insane amount of work. I kept the rest of the body stock and I kept the spartan, utilitarian feel of the interior, although I did make a new dash. Long story short- I put a crazy amount of work in it, but I did it my way, and there are hardly any HMMWVs or Hummers that have been "hot-rodded" I love driving this HMMWV. I have been fortunate to build a lot of nice cars, but this thing gets more attention than anything I have ever built before. I am getting close to having it finished, and I can't wait. On the registration issue- well, I live in Missouri. The tag agency didn't like the SF-97 but went ahead and gave me my registration. With that being said, that was two months ago and I haven't received my title yet, so the jury is still out on that. Worse case scenario, they rescind my registration and I title it as a component built vehicle. I've probably already killed any collectible value to this HMMWV so what's the big deal in having a component built title? We shall see! I really like your videos and your shop's work. Keep up the great work!

    you said it yourself. the Humvee is the predecessor. so even tho General called it the H1 the Humvee is the original H1. but if you are building it as a overland rig with matching trailer as a camper, which was always my dream to do, it is a fantastic rig. lets be honest the H1 is a pavement prowler. it is exactly like the idiots now running massive wheels on a 4x4 with no tire rubber . it is a waste of a 4x4 . all these people want is something that "looks cool" driving around. i have seen several people here where i live in Louisiana driving Humvee's around as daily drivers. now with the price of gas being what it is, you need a deep bank account just for that. it is almost the same thing i suggested to Toyota when getting my Sequoia serviced. take a 4runner send out for a crap ton of aftermarket parts. kit it up. and stick it on the lot. i guarantee it will sell. the overland and off roading community has picked up drastically over the last few years. with the expertise you guys have with the platform it would be kind of bad ass to see you build one out with the right mindset for over landing and tough track. i know of some guys who do just that. they will buy a truck build it up and sell it. i believe it would be an interesting build.

      @PredatorInc that's so not true.... there is a few states that you can't, but most you can. You just need to have the correct paperwork before registering. It's an affidavit from the court house showing thats its DOT legal i.e. headlights, break, muffler ext... seems like your pushing an agenda with your video to buy an H1 witch is far less superior than an M998 or similar.

      Hmmwvs are not dot legal. States have an obligation to keep the roads safe with legal vehicles. For example atvs are not designed for roadways and are not safe. The early model hmmwvs had an inferior e brake, no transmission park and a few other items technically making them unsafe to other motorists. They kind of fall into a grey area between something like an atv and a dot legal h1. Many states are siding on caution and simply outlawing them.

    • @PredatorInc
      @PredatorInc  6 місяців тому

      CHP will tag the plate and Sacramento sends out a demand to that state for proof of ownership. If the owner is tracked back to California then ca dmv makes the demand for taxes and registration to be paid by the owner. Once that happens they then cancel registration for onroad use because it does not meet dot regulations. It's kinda like a person who moves into the state and fails to immediately transfer registration to California.

Hhmmm, let' see, GovPlanet has Humvees starting at $4 grand, that are in very rough condition, and I could take the half million dollars and build a rig myself the way I want and title it.

Second, you can not make the hmmwv dot legal. 3rd, we never discussed pricing, 500k builds etc. What was conveyed was that many people buy them thinking they are going to turn them into hummers and save a ton of cash. The purpose of the video is to inform people on the differences between a hmmwv and an h1 and help them put realistic expectations on their purchase.

    In my opininion, the humvee is much cooler due to it's raw and basic features. Yes, an H1 is much more refined than a hmmwv, but the H1 is still in the running for the least refined passenger vehicle ever produced. Adding all those "features" makes the H1 ~2,000 pounds heavier than a basic hmmwv, it's hard to even comprehend that. The CTIS is cool (but unreliable), but the rest of the features are just fat in my eyes. Very few people buy either of these vehicles to daily drive, they both cool but impractical collectables. Water leaks, noise, lack of stereo and cup holders, etc. is the raw essence of the hmmwv, obviously not for everyone. I see a lot of folks buying hmmwv's and putting bling wheels, stereos, interiors, and nice paint jobs on them. More power to them if that's what they like, but I cringe when I see some of these things. I personally have zero interest in an H1, but putting a duramax in my m1123 is the one modern upgrade I may consider some day.
