"You're not gonna get a Humvee with a machine gun" DAMMIT! xD
I need a Tank Hauler... To, uh haul things. Yes, that.
😳😳😳
😂😂😂😂
I have a 1967 Kaiser-Jeep M35A2 6x6, it is the BEST and most fun truck I own. Everyone needs one ASAP!
I got me a 71 and love it
That M1070 HET, that's what you want. 8 wheel drive, been through so much shit with one of those, if you get one stuck, you have truly accomplished something because it's about impossible.
Don't some of those have C18 Cats under the hood? Or was that some other military truck?
Yeah they had a version that did, 700 hp, alison 7 speed automatic.
Run one at KOH.
Don't buy one of those HET's I'm telling you now you will hate life. The newer models run C18 cat engines. Those models shown run shitty ass Detroit 92 series. My credentials? Sitting in one right now.

You can tell in his voice that good guy Fred doesn't want to charge us for content. But Motor Trend is making him say it.
Others do builds and don't say stuff like that. It's all about the overhead costs. Motor Trend wants to make this a business, and earn for their investors, others do it for fun and just want to break even/live a regular life.
Appreciate Video clip! Sorry for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you tried - Tarbbatigan Vintage Sales Tip (do a search on google)? It is a good one off guide for finding government and police auctions for cars trucks and SUVs without the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my buddy at last got excellent success with it.
Lovely Video clip! Sorry for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you tried - Tarbbatigan Vintage Sales Tip (google it)? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for finding government and police auctions for cars trucks and SUVs without the normal expense. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my work buddy after a lifetime of fighting got cool success with it.
Excellent Video clip! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you researched - Tarbbatigan Vintage Sales Tip (just google it)? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for finding government and police auctions for cars trucks and SUVs without the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my work buddy at last got astronomical results with it.
Lovely Video! Apologies for the intrusion, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you thought about - Tarbbatigan Vintage Sales Tip (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is an awesome exclusive product for finding government and police auctions for cars trucks and SUVs minus the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my old buddy Taylor after many years got great success with it.
Basically they took your money, spent it on these vehicles and now they're selling it back to you...
They have to make a profit on the vehicles they're auctioning off. Are you aware you can also get government used typewriters, computers, desks, furniture etc.?
mitmaks Yeah but the thing is, they are probably selling the ones that have been retired from active duty or are no longer needed or used.

Well you don't HAVE to buy one do you? go get a prius
Sounds about right
Yes its an ad for GovPlanet. But I dont count Ads if iam actually interestet in stuff....
Facts
Thanks for the video content! Sorry for the intrusion, I am interested in your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Tarbbatigan Vintage Sales Tip (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a great exclusive product for finding government and police auctions for cars trucks and SUVs minus the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my cooworker at last got cool success with it.
especially since you can just rearmor and rearm it so no point in even unarmoring and "demilitarizing" it
Yeah, the reason why military humvees are in rough condition is because it's immature kids having fun versus maybe THEY GET SHOT AT.
No trust me he's more than likely correct, either having fun or lack of paying attention to detail
Stop talking. The majority of the abuse these things get are from privates driving them.

@@jeremymenchaca have you seen the antics the military gets into
**machine guns sold separately**
Casey Weaver dang it😢
😂😂😂
Damn it I know it
Bullets sold separately
Casey Weaver lol
I would love to have a LMTV, those were one of my favorite trucks I drove in the Army
Well here’s this; I’ve been thinking about buying myself a 6x6 truck for firefighting, however I’m not sure which truck would be best. I’ve been looking a Deuce and a Half, since I don’t need a CDL for where I live. However, I was also looking at an M813 5 Ton.
Military mechanics watching this episode: "do it dumbass. Buy one of these pieces of money pit shit and tell me you don't regret it a month later"
830sxz so true. I can't wait till these are out of my motor pool
830sxz What goes wrong on them? I always hear people in the military complain about em
They are shitty. You can build a cheaper, more powerful, more capable, and more fuel efficient vehicle with standard parts.
And you'll have to find a place to order all the parts you need for them. Most of that stuff you can't buy at Autozone besides fluids and bulbs.
i work on military vehicles daily. every time one comes into the shop for something new you are cussing the manufactorer for why tf they designed something that way
830sxz trailers and 5 tons may be worth it.
Thank you! Now I have a starting point! Next step is to figure out how to afford the gas for my future Humvee.
i got my M35 i'm stoked anytime you want to do another video in alaska let me know ...great show, love it keep up good work.
That Prime mover in the background... me wants.
Shouldn't we have a disclaimer saying that this is just a 4 minutes advertisment ?
FrenchSushi
You already did at the beginning of the video, title, and thumbnail. Are you that ignorant?
I'm talking about govplanet mate. "Are you that ignorant ?"
1970HondaCL100
They have to do sponsored episodes on RUclips to stay afloat. These shows aren't cheap to make and RUclips's only gonna give them a dollar and a pat on the back.
FrenchSushi unsub if you don't like it then :)
+iliovecaRS Why would he unsubscribe if he just wants a disclaimer so people know when an "extras" video is an ad? :)
Fred, you're my hero. 👍
You hit the nail right on the head brother. If you are blessed enough to own one of the humbees the trick is too find a low mileage/low maintenance one and that alone is hard to come by. 😯
If Gov Planet is in Barstow, it means the Hmmwvs are most likely ones used by the Marines and is from Yermo, which is south of Barstow. The 2 1/2 ton truck is most likely from Fort Irwin, which is right next door to Yermo (a Marine logistics base).
THE MOST common question Motor Trend gets after its big feature videos is, "where can I buy a vehicle like that?" This short, paid ad answers that question very well, frankly.
The anger shown by RUclips commenters about companies having the gall to make a profit is ridiculous. You're watching RUclips, a billion-dollar capitalist megacorp, on your PC/Mac/Android/iOS device made by a billion-dollar capitalist megacorp, while wearing Nikes/Reebok/Adidas, while eating fast food (or any food for that matter). You don't have a single point of ground from which to argue. We all consume from companies that make a profit.
The point is, Fred works. We're entertained. He should get paid. This is how he gets paid. There is not a single reason Motor Trend shouldn't be making these ad videos. You're mad? No problem. You're not the target market. I'm clicking the link and looking for a sweet, used Army truck.
Well said. It gets old seeing a bunch of self entitled 12 year olds acting like everyone should kiss their ass and do everything the way they want it done for free on the internet as well as in real life. When these crybabies grow up they will find out that there is two things that make the world go around, money and whole lot of hard work... if you don't have one you will have to do the other...
Completely agree.
Not to mention, they actually have good fucking deals 😂
Wow...interesting for you to defend Motor Trend and Fred, and not denounce FOR ONE SECOND that not ONE WORD was mentioned on how you could 'buy direct from DRMO, just like govplanet does'....by simply applying for a DRMO bidder number!
Also interesting how you didn't condemn the fact that most of the DRMO auctions are for 1/10th the price that the 'big retailers' (like govplanet) pay DRMO...and none of that markup was mentioned. I mean...if I tell you that you can buy something at 'mom and pops' downtown, you're going to instantly know you can 'get it cheaper online' or 'at wallie world'...but few realize, instead of paying 1000% markup to govplanet for these vehicles, they can simply get a DRMO bidder number and BUY DIRECT from DRMO, bidding as an equal AGAINST govplanet, instead of becoming a customer OF govplanet, and paying an extra $8,000 to $10,000 to them for that 5-ton truck they want!
That you didn't know this, shows that you either have NO CLUE what you're talking about, or are part of the 'don't want you to know' crowd benefitting from it. Which one is it?
Bought my M998 HMMWV 4 door 6.5L V8 diesel engine for $8100.00 on GovPlanet. It's in perfect condition. And yes there is ways to get them registered for an on road title in certain states. The problem is that there is no vin number. You can get vin numbers for them by going through a custom or homemade title. There's other ways to get titles too.
Salty Steel 6.5 diesel? I thought the 998's only had 6.2s in them. Could be wrong. Guess the deciding factor would be if it is turbo or not. Could be swapped from an m1123 i guess.
Salty Steel hey man I want to get one. Could you help me out with the process?
How long did it take from winning the bid until you took delivery of the unit?
possible but unlikely, I'm pretty sure most 998s have been converted to 1097s by now but they came standard with 6.2Ls but the only way to tell is to look at the back of the engine at the oil pump/tach drive-if the mounting bolt is on the left thats a 6.2, if its on the right you have a 6.5
My cousin bought a Humvee. Had 17,000 miles on it, was in MINT condition, never saw combat. It had no doors, no roof. It was used at a USA Based base to transport troops around. The 6.5L is completely gutless.
But in 4-low it automatically locks the front and rear diffs, and it feels absolutely unstoppable, like no obstacle will prevent it from moving. You can literal idle out of certain situations that you have to gun it to get out of in 4 hi. In 4 low you really have to lean on the brakes to get it to stop. You can't gently hold it or else the torque and gearing will just keep pulling through them.
xXBurntBaconXx - how much did he pay for it?
What did he pay for it
Great information, thanks.
We've got so much stuff from DRMO in South Korea. They were going to sell UH-1 (Huey) helicopter engines, but they pulled them before the sale.
It is important to note that ALL surplus humvees are title-voided to be OHV ONLY. You cannot re-register them as a road vehicle no matter how hard you try, so sorry if you want a cheap pickup truck.
Nope, you can go check on govplanet right now. Every single humvee you will find will have a little note on the right hand side in the description something along the lines of: "This vehicle is for Off-Highway use ONLY." Disappointing, I know.
Yes but it's an easy process getting it reregistered via your home state. Go on youtube and watch a few videos on the topic, I've seen multiple videos of people doing exactly what you are claiming is impossible.
I could get one legal if I weren't broke by buying parts and assembling the parts into a truck but just buying one your probably right. Just to be clear an assembled vehicle would not be a Humvee anymore but it would be legal and cool.
Dieselhead I think it depends on state, I've seen one in PA that was registered as a truck with truck plates
there are like 4 H1's rolling around the place i live, there are ways to get them on the road
"Really low to the ground snd great ground clearance." Smooth.
Brake throttle modulation , is the key to offroad success in a humvee
This is amazing
A couple things about military surplus vehicles. They are "salvage sale" to the public, after all other government agencies get their shot at them. To "salvage" a vehicle, it must meet their standard for age/miles/value. Age can be covered with the de-activation of a base or units, or, if the budget actually afforded to purchase ten percent of a fleet in the past two years, OR, some vehicle is just in excess of the needs, like the Humvee... miles/value is based upon the mechanical shape, such as 'will it cost more than 35% of replacement value to fix it?'. Most agencies really cannot absorb all the surplus, plus, don't have added funding for all the repairs "needed' per the T.O. So, when 2,000 of the same type vehicle appear in the Gov. Sales lot, most will be there for you to choose from.
Repair parts and work are measured in the costs of parts, and man hours the military must expend to bring the item back to operational condition per the Tech. Order. An M35A2 from 1998, needing tires, an oil change (5 gallons of oil), and an annual ( all filters, a full brake job, 5 gallons of Anti-freeze, several quarts of lubricants, and other greases), might just need to be 'salvaged'... You will put in your own labor to do the required tasks... "Sweat Equity" is your own investment... Please get the proper Technical Order, either from the Government Printing Office, or, internet sellers.
Just picked up a M998 myself. Currently in the process of replacing the engine.. fuel tank.. half shafts & everything in between.
I love these freebees, means i don't have to pay to subscribe
NTC Ft.Irwin California 1980s outside los Vegas...oh boy the memories...lol
Need a place to buy a Grumman llv. Really want one, it'd be pretty cool.
I may need one of those eventually.
Hey yall i was wondering where the cideo is of buying the lmtv and taking it offroad i goind a link to it online but it says the video is private...? I would love to watch it again if you guys could make it public again or tell me where i can watch it at itd be much appreciated thank you
now THAT is cool!
My big question is do I need a cdl to drive an lmtv I'm wanting to get one but I'm curious I've heard of people being able to drive a hemtt military truck without a cdl so does that mean I can do the same with the lmtv I'm getting it as a personal vehicle but mainly driving it on the weekends I definitely need to know I live in Florida so does it depend on State law or is it the same everywhere I'd love to know soon
Ok, so I see the whole concern about titling Humvees. However, is that also the case for a Deuce and a half? Or any of the other trucks?
good plug
All over the world. Pennsylvania..
never been a fan of the Humvee but do some fender trimming, bigger tires, boat side chop, winch front and back, and update the snorkel kit so tube sock has a swimming buddy. Then again swap the engine for some LS power, or Cummins power plant. Can't forget a decent cage or even an exo-skeleton conversion.
bucket seats too
Good idea for a Roadkill episode
What we don't tell you is as soon as you need parts be ready to wait a few months I have four Hummers sitting in my yard needing water pumps it took me 8 months just to get one. Good luck with that.
"You're not gonna get one with a machine gun on top..."
*the fuck I can't*
Is there a way to import this kind of truck in my country?
I once saw an apache getting parted out in Washington. If i only had a bit of pocket change lol
So u did a full video on where to get everything but where is the link in the description
I've always wanted an m35 deuce and a half
I love it
Thank you. The video is very nice. Can I buy JLTV cars and where can I buy them if I am in Canada❤
I want that GMC in the back
Can someone explain to me why they made 16.5" wheels for the Humwees, and not just more common 16" or 17"? I know what the wheels are like, I don't need a lecture on that, I'm just missing if there is some point to specifically use 16.5".
Isnt this the same as episode 40? Should even be on the top of the playlist as well...
I have a bid on a truck right now. It's the 1st time that I am using gub planet and 1st time purchasing a vehicle on there. You're it what are some things that I need to look out for bit's doubtful because I don't want to buy something that doesn't run?
Who doesn't need a duce-and-a-half? Hell, with my bowels I'd be happy with half a duce
Don't want to bid though. Are there sites where you can buy outright?
does it apply for boats?
Awesome
"unimogs in Guam" fuxk yeah I live on Guam
Do you have to have a CDL to drive a 6×6 army truck
What about all the surplus / decommissioned aircraft still stored out in the Arizona desert somewhere ?
I think demilitarised aircraft are sold differently.
Barstow?... Mind blown! You guys are so close.
Anyone else notice he is at the NTC?
Yep...Ft. Irwin Ca...watch out for the sidewinder snakes at night🐍
do they import them to canada? im on the page & all i see if U.S.A
I need that OSHKOSH
Is this an advert for on demand which is an advert for another website? We must GO DEEPER!
It's advert-caption lol
Can you buy and ship these to Canada?
Fred, you should buy a Deuce and a half, bob it or not, and put BIGGER tires on it and take it to Johnson Valley and keep it
Gotta get me a Humvee one day. I've always loved that style of vehicle
the gov domains end in dot gov. you don't need to go to a commercial site to buy resold gov surplus. just go to the dot gov sites and buy it direct.
How about in Canada?
there was a pinball machine on there 🤣
i was expecting Fred to go crazy and pick that bigass tank hauler and offroad the crap out of it ...
the humvees we have, have like 1000 miles on them and are 2009's and are rusted pos's and are turning into dust because we drive them through salt water.
ours are the up-armoured versions which are steel doors which are heavy af. also all of the working parts are not aluminum. if the body was rusted then it really wouldnt matter right. if i could send you pictures i would
1Slamalama1, do you doubt the ability of the military make something rust? I assure you, a private will find a way to make it happen.
You can buy cut up weapons and machine guns if you know where to look.
I saw a new looked like deuce and a half hybrid with a gigantic pick up bed and liner, it was yellow and magnificent. 4wd no logos labels, immaculate. Want information on what was, perfect no rust fresh paint, leather seats. Have no idea where who made was in Tampa area off beach at VFW, Indian rocks area Florida gulf coast.
LMTV probably
Is govplanet same as govliquidation?
Omg I could not stop staring at that tank hauler.
Eli Wilson that things massive
Eli Wilson Enlist in service you could drive one cost freehand drive and drive and drive and drive for four years 6 years for the bonus and that will be half of what the Army gives you taxes.
How do you buy parts for this army trucks
I wanna buy a few of these as toys so bad. I want a 6x6 and or 10x10 massive trucks and build a custom offroad vechicle. Military offroad capability and civilian luxury and specs
The winch on the HTTT is SO big
My old boss bought 3 hum v and tried to sell them , but none sold. Nobody can get them tagged by dmv....You can haul them on a trailer to go off road, but that is it.
You will have to buy 15 HMMWV's to keep one running. Hope you have yard space.
This wasn't a "bonus episode" it was an advertisement.
I wonder if they ship to Philippines...
Note that most government vehicles are exempt for hour and mileage accuracy.
Hey I need one with the machine gun on top
I thought you were going to buy the BIG truck :D
When its not a tease is an ad, Motor Trend in 2017
Daniel Maia but wait, there's more😉👍 for another xxxxx amounts of money, we can advertise not your product more, as well as try to get you spend more money! Oh yeah, here's a jeep...we used to do cool stuff with that, but you've given us enough money, we don't have to make good entertainment anymore!😁👌...
Do they ship to Europe?
Go sign up for a free trial so you can watch more infomercials.
What no machine gun mount for my Humvee ? lol. But seriously I have always wanted a Humvee.
What's the big truck in the background? i need one for the upcoming zombie apocalypse.
M1070 HET
Thank You
We like to put a duramax swap and a Allison in these hmmwv ‘s and then it’s a great vehicle with a modern power train with all the classic military looks and features. Best of both worlds.
Otherwise the cheaper option is to go with the stock humvee, which is the perfect vehicle for your teenage kid driver...it’s slow, hard to roll, and seats are so far away from each other it’s “difficult” to hold hands with anybody.
well i wish i was a young kid again. its not too often i come across people much older than me
Are humvs street legal?
Do they come with titles
How do I buy 68to75 jeep
Also in germany???
My humv once serviced in Afghanistan.
