Your growler seems to be in really good condition. I just got my M1163 and it needs a little more work that yours does. You mentioned a manual and I was wondering where you obtained one because I haven't come up with any online. Thanks for the info, very helpful!
Thanks for watching my videos. The company that made them will send you one either electronic version or a paper one in a 3 ring folder. I got the paper one, it is good quality. $15 Just email Crysta at growlerme and she will help you. CLAWING@GROWLERME.COM. It is more of an operation manual but it does show some maintenance stuff.

Hello Greg, thanks for your amazing content on the M1161 . Should I be using DEF when fueling this beast? Thanks in advance. Ive never owned a diesel sorry for my ignorance.
No DEF can only be used in a vehicle with a separate DEF tank. If you add it to diesel fuel it will ruin the whole fuel system. It corrodes and destroys all metals. The DEF systems are totally plastic until it hits the Exhaust after treatment unit where it is injected in to burn soot. Thanks for watching my videos I’m glad they are helping out.
All military auction stuff has been selling way too high the last couple of years. But these are also mostly low mileage, I paid $14500 and it has 231 miles on it. It was never used.
When you earlier told me what you paid for it I thought, damn that sounds like a lot! But man, that vehicle is so cool, I wish I was still in California to go for a ride in it.
Beats what the taxpayers paid for it. The program went into horrible overruns. From wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growler_(vehicle): By 2008, unit cost had risen by 120%, leaving each Growler scout variant with a cost of $209,000 per unit. The prime mover mortar contract price rose by 86%, to $1,078,000 cost per unit.
A lot of states will register them, some won’t. If your state won’t go to dirtlegal.com and they can register it to either Utah or Vermont for you. If you buy one and need them to do it use my promo code “Rasmussen” and get $25 off. What state are you in?
Hi there man totally interested in these do you have an in way too access the purchase of one of these? And what would I have to give for one 10 $12,000?
Les, if you go to Govplanet.com They are still selling the last few. I do know a guy with two of them for sale. Send me a message to my email and I can give you more details. Greg@Rasmussenequipmentrentals.com
I missed the video on what you say you paid for this and I'm too lazy to go back and find it so I'm going to ask sorry for having you repeated a second time what did you pay for this 10 $12,000 just might guess how close am I?
you have done a lot a research, interesting vehicle
Thanks for watching
i knew you would have a atc toyhualer
I wish it was mine, it belongs to a friend. But they make a nice toy hauler
I just stumbled upon the Growler on an auction site. I was wondering about all the features on this little badass. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching and commenting

@@RasmussenEquipment . . You are the man. Thank you so much for your quick response!
Sir your vedio is very good information butt I want see m1163 jeep suspension system and chassis of this.. so please make a video on its
Thank you, I do have other videos showing the various parts with vehicles on my lift.
Awesome video!!
These are really cool, but I’m bitter on pricing. They should have been around the 5k for a runner and 10k for a mint condition one

But these are also mostly low mileage, I paid $14500 and it has 231 miles on it. It was never used.
Imagine paying that little for a Lamborghini or Range Rover with that low mileage. You got a great deal.
To bad you cant get the automis function to fallow you unmanned that would be cool as hell . Or the robotic control unit.
That would be worth the 200k pricetag it ended up costing.
When you earlier told me what you paid for it I thought, damn that sounds like a lot! But man, that vehicle is so cool, I wish I was still in California to go for a ride in it.
If your ever back In town come check it out.
