Love how Jay helps these smaller companies get recognized, he is a true enthusiast of everything automotive.
he is a benevolent god in a way

The company is not Hummer you turkey.
Yuv.S Estd.98
Dear lord how do you not understand this? Mil-Spec. The company is Mil-Spec. These guys do not work for Hummer, and they do not work for GM. They started their own company and it’s called Mil-Spec.
Singer is a company that customizes Porsches. Singer is not Porsche.
In reality thanks goes to few people behind the scenes who connect these small companies with Jays production team
I am glad that Hummer starting making vehicles again.
The original Hummers had a GPS display too, it just stood for gallons per second
LMAO!
Dude you dont look at the tacometer you look at the fuel guage going down! 😂
🤣🤣
Hahahaha
😂😂😂
>I kinda grew up with an... entrepreneurial mindset
He sold weed
I was thinking more along the lines. Daddy kept him up nicely.
Weed is good, in controlled amounts.
he sold Poppers, Red Devils , Cocaine, Speed, and Diet Pills in High School.
Mark Plott how do you know?
Lol, nice.
1:51 When Jay notices dudes skinny jeans and goofy boots
Lol
Haha... i didnt even notice their pants but thats pretty funny.
Absolutely love the Mil-Spec hummers. My father first worked on thesis, when was in Operation Desert Storm. R.I.P Dad.
Jerry Johnson II - Respect to your late dad. Was his thesis published?
Thank you
Atheist Orphan Pretty sure he just meant “these” and it autocorrected to thesis
It's so neat how these young guys look up to Jay for his approval . Jay's a great ambassador for the sport
The sport of vehicle restoration? Someone call the Olympic Committee.

If it was truly "mil spec" the a/c would be broken

Wait, where’s the turret gunner stand?
And the steering gear, and the lower radiator hose... Can't forget those!!! Lol

"We were taking his H1 out during college and talked about this company."
I had a much different college experience..
Kenneth Carnie; Sure you did, like pass the bong !!; :-D
Kenneth, so did I, as in working, going to class and spending time with my girlfriend when I had any time.
As for cars, I had a ford escort pony, which was the cheapest & most efficient car that ford made at the time. Also it had only three possible options, rear defogger, radio & rustproofing...
no sex at all
My white male privilege kept me out of college, My experience was not being able to afford to go to college instead I was working a minimum wage job so I could eat, put gas in the tank of my wore out '73 Continental and pay rent to a sleezy landlord from a 3rd world shithole that barely spoke English and if there was any money left I would take my girl out.... Needless to say we didn't get to go out to often but my Landlord had a new 7 series BMW.
Good times.
Right someone had a h1 and lots of money to afford said h1
I was expecting ChrisFix to comment something down below 😆
Me too
they could probably partner with him to do great things. i'm a fan of both.
You know he’s watched this video
Same
thats why i checked the comments here. chirsfix brought me here :D
Wow. As an Army guy and a fan of the original, I'm happy to see that someone is getting it right. Re-imagining and doing the truck properly, the way it should have been. Can't wait to see Doug do a review on one of these and compare it to the Alpha.
I think the guys did a great job re-imagining the H1. Their rigs are certainly nicer than the H1's I drove long ago.
Doubtless, but will they do the things the H-1s did?
And at a quarter of a million, they're prices different too.
It's like what H1 enthusiasts would really enjoy, unlike the H2 and onward civilian Hummers that just look bad and drive bad. But this one does the justice with better engine in all ways, and maintains the badass cool look of why everyone fell in love with Hummer in the first place, the military and H1 series. All Hummer manufacturers required was just to leave the visual design alone and just change the internal components.
@@BIOSHOCKFOXX H2 and H3, rebadged General Blowhole garbage brought to you by the same idiots who want a Denali
@@jody024 Probably not, it is more likely it is worth the same as the H-1 was when it was new. In terms of value in gold anyway. After all, it IS made new again
The console between the two front seats is as big as some complete cars! 😃
The trans tunnel is crazy huge so the drivetrain doesn't hang any lower than the floor boards.
Remove the cover and you can sit in the drivers seat and touch the front of the engine.
When I first got in one, I couldn't believe it only seated 4. Seriously silly.
The center channel is so wide, the original civilian ones had an optional folding seat that fit on top of it in the back.
@@tb-cg6vd Do you understand WHY the truck is like this though? It makes PERFECT sense
Always loved the look of these Humvees. Guys did a great job.
Owned one as my daily driver for years and the best ever. Drove it all over the country and into Canada on holiday. Took it on the auto train and ferries.
I wish these guys all the success in the world. Great to see Detroit doing well once again.
As an H1 owner and enthusiast I must say hats off too you three!! I know how much these trucks cost in maintenance alone I couldnt think of how much your initial investment was. Congratulations to getting on Jay's show! You guys and the guys at Modmofia are keeping these trucks and the market for parts alive!!! Thank you Jay for inviting them onto your show!!!
I got to field test these when I was stationed at Ft. Hood in Texas in the 80s, when the Army was first going to start buying these. Man, what a massive step up these were over what we had to drive before that (Jeeps, Blazers, etc). Some of the things the factory guy had me do on the field test made me think he was insane, but the Hummer just plowed through it all. It was such a blast!
I love seeing the trend of rebuilding vehicles, modernizing them and emphasizing craftsmanship. Something that escapes newer vehicles.
If it was truly Mill spec it would feel like breaking the sound barrier at 55.
going downhill and you get a softskin up to 70 and you feel like you're in the space shuttle colombia
You can just break the sound barrier if you get dropped from an airplane and the shoot doesn't open.

@@bigb7577 Those are still cool. I'm sure they'll design an air-conditioned bubble for your 50cal.
Sad to read so many negative comments - young guys creating a product that some people will appreciate and buy - hope they can make enough sales to succeed - Let's just wish them the best - :)
Mine is just constructive criticism. SOMEONE needs to tell them that they look and sound like girls.
“If you’re buying vehicles by the pound this seems like a pretty good deal” 😂
The guys speaking on this talk like they are from a freshman college public speaking class
Jay: Can you take it though water?
We wouldn't recommend it, it might get dirty. 🤣😂
it would clean off but they just cleaned it and probably have not had it baptized before. the snorkel is there just for looks but it was on there before so leave it on there. if you're going to go for a dip in your $200k truck then you are going to want to avoid river fording for the most part with the fancier interiors. even then, you can strip it down to the metal and replace everything to keep the mold out. like he said, it might get dirty and it would take a great deal of effort to detail it afterwards these are show trucks
@@icyuranus404 that kind of negates the whole point of these.. if you have a H1 you would want to go anywhere..
@@ToolkiT73UK it doesn't negate it, it is just something they did not want to do with their 2 show trucks. if you are one of those drivers with $220k who happens to be regularly fording creeks up to 4 ft deep then do not get the leather trim. if it is something you do often, keep the leather trim but keep in mind, it will get the truck dirty. like a flood damage total kind of dirty. insurance can replace the money, but you're going to need a new interior at the least. if you have the money, go for a 10 ft swamp buggy or simply build bridges to cross so that you don't get your UAV all waterlogged
@@icyuranus404 sorry but the correct answer was "you can take it anywhere you want is a H1"
Having a "show H1" is stupid
@@tonyc6996 no, it is not stupid to have a "show" H1 if you just spent thousands on cleaning and transport to jay leno's garage so that you can "show"case your product to wealthy contractors and showboat hollywood types who buy supercars which never hit the road let alone a track. you can spend hundreds of hours offroad in a hummer and never need to ford a river and if you did then you would likely be in water deeper than your truck. it's like all of the jeeps they build these days for $50k. sure you can go in water with it, but you really shouldn't since it will get very dirty. if you plan on needing a snorkel, get a swamp buggy or something that you would not take to a business meeting. if you live a dirty off road life and want to spend a quarter million on a modernized hummer, tell them to leave the fabrics out of it and you won't worry about getting it dirty. or keep the cloth inside and replace it every couple of months when the mold starts growing again...
As a solider in the army I'll never forget working on these Humvees. What Mil-Spec is doing is genius it's just what makes it so much better nice work guys. Jay tell Arnold to go buy one now.
Be real, Arnold doesn't associate with girly hipsters.
@@DK-jd8bj HE'S CONVERTED HIS HUMVEE TO ELECTRIC.
@@DK-jd8bj Arnold is into "girly" men...
Props to Mil-Spec for doing it Detroit. May she rise again!
I remember the race riots of 1968.
If you ever been in the military most people hate hummers. But with the nice seats (I hope they are adjustable) and the new engine this maybe interesting.
They START at $218,000. That's a lot of upgrades for a $5k truck from govbid
People will spend $500 for an $80 SKS mil-spec rifle. This is right in line with the stupid money some people will spend.
wait you can get a H1 hummer for $5k?
@@Charlieswag9000 HMVV
Well these aren't necessarily surplus since those don't have vins and can't be registered. They are retrofitting the old civilians primarily like the ones with the 5.7 and 6.5, those are prolly atleast 50k.
@@rodolforodriguez2592 is HMVV civilian?
LOL...Jay's tendency to wander out of his lane was even more evident this episode:):)
Oh wow, I thought you meant this figuratively but wondered about the smiley faces at the end. LOL yeah, It was the only thing I was focused on during the driving. I was also laughing at the cars trying to squeeze by.
ahahahah
I think it was scaring the kids.
At 32:09 he was way too close to that vehicle..
I started a small business 36 years ago...it was hard work, long hours, stress and sweat. However, although I no longer own that business, it was the best financial move I ever made.
28:55...lmao dude dont say "you might get it too dirty" 🤣😂🤣😂
Thanks Jay.. not my type of vehicle but do appreciate the variety of vehicles you post for us here.
I hate hummers but I gotta respect the fact that these guys did a pretty good job on these
What male doesn't like Hummers? I mean I'm not saying you'd have to own one but damn. I mean they are the modern jeeps and work horses of the American military. They are iconic. Take away the turd 6.2 and add a dmax and you have a winner. Their 4 wheel independent coil suspension alone is one of a kind then you add their portal hubs and you truly have a one of a kind engineering marvel. Plus they can be configured from a 2 door truck to a 4 door wagon and everything inbetween. Simply amazing vehicle among the broad scope of the 100 year automotive history. AM General also made a large number of the US Mail jeeps of the 70's and 80's. As a company they are kind of a forgotten auto maker. Then you have the Lambo 002 connection along with Chrysler and their GI Joe Vamp truck with it's underpowered 318 mid engine configuration.
@@destro513 Don't like them one bit. Expensive junk.
@@destro513 Much (most?) of the world hates hummers for various reasons...
@@destro513 well i suppose if you like riding in a rolling can designed to look like a mechanical turd and drinks fuel like a sailor drinks liquor on shore leave, I suppose I can see the appeal. Heavy, ugly, thirsty, and priced in low six figures? Obviously not for everyone. No thank you.
"Humvee. The name Humvee means High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle" It doesn't mean that the drivetrain makes humming noises.
Yeah, but these aren't Humvees ... they're poseur-vees.
Yeah I can’t stand somebody selling their own product and not know what it means
He meant the nickname hummer came from the humming, not the HMMWV designation or Humvee name.
My balls just so happen to be "mil-spec" as well
The name Humvee does come from the High Mobililty Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), when AM General decided to sell to the civilian market they came up with the hummer brand name, which became Hummer H1 when they sold it to GM.
Man I love the black one. Sheesh!!!! Great work guys!!!!!
i prefer the white one but both are amazing
The black one is waaay cooler than the white!
I've been a fan of the military hummer since I was aware they existed. And you know that Jay is enthusiastic about the vehicle when he says "See you next week" while he's still out in the drive. Great video.
“I wanna say”
These guys have done a cracking job making the hummer quieter
👏👏
Jay is a legend. Hopefully these young guys pay it forward one day.
Watching Jay drive this reminds me of a kindergartner! Can't stay inside the lines. I laugh every time he is beside another car because they have to move over so they don't get hit
We're right here in the Motor City, watching start-ups just like this flourish daily. Everyone does Mopars, old Mustangs, and the occasional Camaro. Than, theres this group.
Making the Jay Leno's Garage Show speaks volumes. 3 shy guys with a plan, a product, and a passion......well done MIL-Spec.!!!
"I'm driving an office building"
lmao
A box on wheels
I see you watched the first thirty seconds too.
I could not even drive it legally here in Germany because my class B european driving license allows only up to 3.49 metric tonnes/7713 lbs total weight.
These things are absurd and unsafe to people in smaller vehicles. They really should never have been street legal and only douchebags drive them.
Since they gutted the interiors I would like to have seen more of them. Love the engine upgrade!
check out their website!! they also have portfolios full of shots from every angle.
Remarkable vehicles in terms of design, achievement and maturity. Congratulations to these three young entrepreneurs. Excellent video (as usual with Jay). Very interesting discussion. Many thanks.
I think it's fantastic what these young men are doing. Wish them all the success.
After driving these things for 20 years in the Army I thought I'd never want one. I like these!
Edit: Hummer comes from Humvee or HMMWV which is a military acronym for High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle.

Yeah Praise Jeebus!
Awesome! I hope they make and exterior color of the new jeep military green that all jeeps have . It would look stunning!!
I was born in 63' ,I've been watching you all my life. I always liked you as a guest comedian, you were the only person that could take over for Johnny, but for me is your real calling , it has real substance ,I always feel like a better educated and more enlightened person ,the story of the car is the story of the 20 century to me, so thank you
I wish you could’ve shown more of the interior, like the back etc, love the videos good luck with that company guys!! Definitely cool!!

New cars with lane departure warning would burn out from over use with Jay.
The new ones make no noise... the center you in the lane. Its an odd felling to drive one.
@@Wrang15 they try to center you. It makes you use your signal more though.
You notice that to
I came down into the comments to see if anyone said anything about all the lane bouncing and the lines he blatantly crossed lol
Jays pretty bad at staying in his lane for sure, I love it when he does it with someone else's multi-million dollar car, I'd love to be a bug on the wall.
It is great to see cars coming out of Detroit again. Good luck with the project.
Love what these guys are doing!!! I thought the H1 was way taller I’m surprised only 6 1/2 feet tall my stock F-350 is taller than that..good job indeed.
The H1 is also shorter in length than a Honda Accord! Most of the hype about it supposedly being too big is pure BS.
It is very wide. And it doesn't use its internal volume efficiently for creature comforts. It was purely designed for rugged offloading, and it is very good at that. But it is awkward for newbs and has a learning curve to get used to.
I think it's a shame that Lefties simplistically chose it as the posterchild for their enviro-whackiness, just like they're doing with the AR-15 with their gun-whackiness. They imbue these things with almost demonic magical attributes and fetishize them, then rage against them. Control freaks gotta ruin things for everybody else.
HEY THE HORN WORKS! NITTO is Toyo tire. Same company. They did not call it a hummer because it hums it was called a Humvee originally High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle
Thank you, that was about the stupidest thing I've heard in awhile. It got called a hummer as a nickname, just like GP turned into jeep.
@@user-neo71665 Not that the internet is any good but I cannot find any claim that they named it a hummer because of the straight cut gears in the hubs. Hummer always sounded silly anyway wonder why the brand failed for GM lol. if I really want to be a tech nerd the Duramax is made by Isuzu not GM lol.
@@GhettoWagon The first few generations of the Duramax were a collaboration with Isuzu. I can't remember exactly when, but the Duramax is now only GM.
@@the1doubledeuce Yea Its still Isuzu designed its like calling the rover V8 the rover v8 when its the Buick 215 Or was originally
Love that these young men are doing this. Pretty damn cool
Mr. Leno I appreciate the fact that you still care about the little guys. And not like some other people or companies where they do this to make a profit. You just do a fantastic job and you are awesome guy to watch. A true car guy.
I think Jay went way over his head when he asked "is that where the name comes from?" right after the CEO was explaining how the portal axle hubs hum on deceleration lol.
Finally found a comment that addressed this
Jay's ability to get in sarcastic little comments without most people noticing is on point. He's still got it, thats for sure!
But he was not the CEO! the tallest guy was the CEO, who was not with Jay in the drive!
Jay should have bought the team from Predator. They do some amazing things with Hummers.
Nice to see these guys handling the Hummer business for the east coast. 👍✌️
Predator makes some wild stuff and are at a much larger in house scale. Good to see others bringing these back!! Never realized how much I need one of these
@@tonyc6996 I know right! Ever since seeing the boys from DDE tour the Predator shop I've been searching used Hummers. 😁
Thanks!!! We do have an east coast shop set up and running out of Tampa Florida area. Please swing by in your in the area and well give you a tour! Thanks again!
@@DroneWolfMedia I knew all the Predator references were from our DDE fam 👍
@@PredatorInc good to know!! 👍
Major props to the guys, the hummers looks absolutely sick!
You're a dummy
It's nice to see the care they put into these Humvees guys keep up the awesome work on this American icon
Always loved the Hummer and Mil-spec have done it great justice awesome guys well done
I'm actually digging it. They look pretty well built... at least what was shown on camera. But it doesn't look like they did enough to upgrade the steering, seems like Jay still had a tough time keeping the thing in its own lane.
That's a problem with everything Jay drives.
I dont think he gives a F NOTHING TO DO WITH STEERING HAHA
@@gregorytimmons4777, Nope the other overpriced hummer also wandered.
The problem is that better off-road vehicles have a suspension that sucks at 55 mph or that beats you up off road. You can't have both good off road & good paved road performance...
These guys are pretty impressive, they're making a pretty solid product; one I could never afford, but I gotta give them credit, I never thought I would like a hummer, but these are pretty cool.
Best vidoe I've seen in months! I love the idea and the look! Great job guys and keep an coming jay!
Pretty cool idea. Also very cool to see Jay doing his bit to show the world these small companies and demonstrating that it's OK to be different . Best luck to the Mil Spec team. Thanks Jay.
I love my 2000, it's very fun to drive. 14 to 17 mpg and it easly meets smog regs with the old 6.5 turbo.
Good Job guys!
Love what they're doing. Killer revamp of an iconic vehicle
These are truly amazing. Smart to update the drive train to Duramax 🤘
Bravo, Jay! Showing what these guys have done with Hummers is American business at its best. These three guys really have it together. I wish them well.
Did I hear wrong or did these guys just say their customers for this truck are "blue collar" at 218k a piece 🤔
Nice. Rich kids with a plan that won't go anywhere. They are too wide to be practical. The Hummer is dead
“Blue collar” business OWNERS. Not some worker bee.
@@Socal-qp1pv you know what hummer is not thatbwide as compare to mordern SUVs. It looks wider but not wide
Can't blue collar people be well off?
@jim Fisher - the workerbee has an F150 4x4 with a/c too.
Nitto is owned by Toyo which is a Japanese company but the tires are made in the USA (GA)
I love to see young guys with vision, stepping up and pursuing their dreams!
I think their concepts are great, and their execution is excellent.
While the HumVee has always had a pretty finite market, there are many potential buyers who never had a chance to own one.
I think these guys are smart to focus on a niche market that has tremendous potential to grow into a substantially larger market.
I wish them all the greatest possible success with this venture!
Thank you, Jay, for featuring these young men and their product, and giving them the opportunity to have such wide exposure.
Happy New Year 2020!
great recycle of powerful brand. good to see young entrepreneurs! proportion is the key, during the drive an f-250 or 350 passed you and dwarfed the Hummer ! thanks for these vids, Jay!
32:06 almost side-swiped a parked car!
Not sure that Jay is clear on the concept of keeping it between the lines. In almost every one of his videos he wanders in and out of his lane. Not so much when he is on the freeway. In his defense, though, he is conducting an interview with humor, insight in addition to all the other driving duties. Really enjoy Jay's channel though not really a car guy.
@@peterhaan9068 Well said. Plus, we're talking monster trucks here. Love this channel. Am car guy.
Ain't no GM service center that's going to touch that lol
Why not dude?
svtirefire Can confirm. Worked at GM dealer a few years, no way service manager let’s that in the shop. No idea what to up sell
If it has a duramax and an Allison automatic transmission they sure will.
I would work on it. No problem.
I think you’re right. But I’m sure you can find shops and technicians that’ll work on GM drivetrains. The dealers won’t.
I love your show Mr. Leno ever sense I saw the first one, please keep the show going, it's not only entertaining it's also very educational and i love that. THANK YOU 🔥🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎😎
I went to LTU with Ian and he took me for rides and showed me his work on these, so cool to see you guys taking off and in production now! For those that are skeptical, these trucks really throw you back into your seat going down the highway! See you this summer I’m sure 👊🏼
Take a shot everytime they say "You know"
If you spend time with americans, they do say 'you know' a lot.
Or "I wanna say".
@@stevenkelby2169 LOL but seriously, don 't do that people. You'll die. :)
So..........
troynov1965 so it gets repetitive and they are presenting their product no talking about things we already know... so “you know “ should only be used when you are talking about something that they have prior knowledge.
Furthermore, it doesn’t sound professional that’s why you don’t hear it in big presidential speeches or from news anchors, unless they are trying to give an example.
..thought Jay would climb over a Duesenberg & a Bugatti on the way out
But he nearly climbed over that parked car @32:08! I wonder if he would have left a note. lol
Finally, something that gets over the curb and driveway! 😀
Love it. Also love Jay's philosophy of people actually building stuff, especially vehicles in the real world and not some virtual world, albeit that stuff is cool.
"Maybe you still live at home?"
"......."
These guys all have bright futures, but the design guy is the genius of the bunch.
They're awesome nice upgrades especially the motor great job guys.
The black one looks awesome!!! Great work to the Mil-Spec Team.
218K?? Screw that!
Why
I thought the exact same thing. That's ludicrous.
It looks great, but I agree the price is too high.
You can get a super car at those price ranges.
And looking at the 2020 Corvette that you can get for $62,000...only someone who is filthy rich would buy one of these Mil-Specc H1 Hummers.
@@Orcen222 dont think that someone who's in the market for a hummer would look at a vette cuz its cheaper
Awesome job. Great to see Detroit coming back
"Mil spec" would be no A/C, and the seats would be just 2" of foam on top of the battery box.
I've seen one of those (military vehicle).
Pretty "spartan" lol
I love the concept of taking old vehicles and rebuilding and putting new tech in them

Derelict, Singer, Beck, etc. can't keep up with demand.
This is awesome, I always wanted one. And now I can have one with good fuel economy
And with a great interior!
@@auctioncreation8517 one day I'll have one.
From talking to a hummer salesman years ago, beyond the price of the vehicle you will have frequent and very expensive maintenance on five differentials. One at each wheel and and a main coordinating box.
I saw mil spec at SEMA last year in Vegas. I wish I could have met them for an interview.
You know, this was a cool episode you know. Thank you for posting.
I love how star struck these young men are by such an approachable down to earth guy as Jay. I commend these young men for chasing down the American dream..
What a beast car! It's always nice to see new ideas and business, good luck guys, from far country Georgia! And thumbs up to Mr. Leno as well, for helping this people out.
I love these guys, and everything they stand for.
