You have successfully talked me out of buying one... I want one, but I knew they were terrible, and you confirmed that. Despite all that, I'm going to buy one anyway. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Miller exactly. It’s not about how terrible they are it’s about how awesome they are to drive. I took mine out tonight and made 3 old ladies angry and 2 kids jump for joy.
@@JohnEngel hey I want one too but for shtf this Humvee is good unreliable but good looking I have money to fix the unreliable and put good parts but is too big too slow what you think of a 1977 Toyota fj 40 or 45 truck or a 1957 land Rover series 1 diesel 109
That rattling sound you hear is probably your exhaust system, when the heat shielding that is welded on two the exhaust gets damaged it will start to Vibrate at certain high speeds and make that noise you hear.
"HL" is High Lock(not High Low), meaning a locked transfer case or full time 4x4(power is equally distributed to both front and rear axles all the time-mainly for off road use). "H" is High, which means an unlocked transfer case or All Wheel Drive(power to front and rear axles is variable).
I’m picking mine up from Chicago in about a week from a hummer building specialist shop, same truck but they put the new 4 speed in it tops at 88 mph, I can’t wait
@@JohnEngel thanks man, yeah after I get it I’ll come back and comment and let you know how I like it. I’m trading my Z06 ligenfelter C5 for it, need a family fun toy now that I have a little one. I’m sure he can hook you up with a 4 speed if you ever so choose he has a 6L80 listed for 2,200 dollars.
I can totally relate to the way you feel about your truck. I have got an ex military Land Rover 101 forward control gun tractor. It is painfully slow, has a V8 petrol engine so it is very thirsty, noisy, very harsh suspension, no power steering, basic heater, etc.. my wife refuses to even sit in it. It is impractical and with such an old engine, with no electronics and old school points condenser etc., has to be maintained all the time. There are so many reasons why it’s a nightmare to own and drive and I was mad to buy it, but one massive reason why I did buy it. It puts a smile on my face every time I drive it and I love it.
Look at that house... Amazing. Just got me an m1165 2006. The 2008s and up were too expensive for my blood. Had to opt for a parts truck for my budget.
@@op665 I have no idea but when I looked into an engine swap the cheapest I saw was around that mark. It’s crazy how expensive it was. That’s why mine is staying slow. Lol. If you are doing the work yourself it might be much less but just start looking around before you buy one.
The rattling sound that you described is...a heat shield around the engine block and your exhaust, probably on the passenger side. I was able to bent mine just bit and the sound is gone.
Welcome to the club! The good? Nice rims and tires! Your doors and top are worth like $10k! Your interior looks very nice and you have aftermarket seats. Without the top the top speed is about 72mph, but it doesn't like to be over 55 for long. The bad? It was driven like a rental car by fearless young men who break stuff and parts are expensive and hard to find. I love mine. enjoy!
Brotha, I’ll totally jealous over this one! A Humvee is on my bucket-list and yours looks fantastic. Congratulations for stealing yet another one of my dream cars!
How do you really know it is actually a "1995" (built) HMMWV/HUMVEE? Most of the HMMWV/HUMVEEs that have become available to Civilians have been "massaged" over the decades and our original "Serial Data Plate" with the "as built" data we affixed to the drivers side B-pillar has long been been replaced with ...who know what.
First the rear pintle mount/hitch that you said you didn't know what it was for is for a trailer. M101 I think it was. Which would make a great impracticable trailer edition. Considering the trailer comes to about chest high lol. Get one!!!!
Form should follow function. Unless you plan to take this off road and get good and muddy, it just looks wrong in your driveway! This is a vehicle that is all about getting there, no matter if there is over the river, through the woods or up the mountain. Ask a guy who NEEDS this for his work, it is a beast (he will think you have lost your mind wanting one for fun!)
Did I understand you to say you had to turn on the lights while starting? If so, no you don't have to turn on the lights. In fact you're better off sparing the batteries. Just wait for the "wait" light and start. If you find the ride is rough, take it off-road. It drives like a Rolls Royce there. Trust me.
John Engel there's something about how iconic this vehicle is or the fact that it looks like a jeep willys on steroids but I've always wanted one. Took over a year to find mine and definitely needed a ton of work but i have 0 regrets.
I sure do. I drive it all over. I love it. It is not expensive at all to insure or maintain. I don't think I would daily drive it but it is so much fun.
This is NOT a Hummer but rather is a HMMWV!!! There is a difference. People are so sloppy when it comes to their terminology that it is pointless to even warch the video.
Take a deep breath. Yes I know it’s a M998 HUMVEE. I have to use Hummer for search terms. In the title and image it has HUMVEE. It will all be okay I promise. I will make another video on just how irritating a word can be to a group.
John Engel : check with Predatorinc.com not cheap but they do have some nice stuff just don't get carried away it cost more than your Humvee did. Really nice looking Humvee. Change oil as recommended and grease all your fitting also as recommended.
KMT15 In a humvee, High-lock and Low-lock are the four-wheel drives, High is the regular 4 wheel drive, Low-lock is for deeper sand and mud, and drives half the speed of High-lock
I can tell you on thing, if it is a true military one then do not call it a hummer because other Humvee guys are going to chew your but out lol so please call it a Humvee if it’s military

John Mcclane is love an old Rover. Such cool cars. I have been enjoying the HUMVEE too much. It’s a great car.
@@AlejandroP1980s Get an Hj47 Land Cruiser it's much more reliable than a 45 and they are more desired.
I own one and it's the best thing I have ever purchased.
A Men brother. I have the same plan b supply hard top. Absolutely love my humvee
That rattling sound you hear is probably your exhaust system, when the heat shielding that is welded on two the exhaust gets damaged it will start to Vibrate at certain high speeds and make that noise you hear.
Awesome and thank you. Great comment.
The thing in the back is a pintle hook. A pintle hook is used to row trailers.

Thank you. :)
The speed is limited to prevent accidents.
This is why I hope I can buy one for cheap and have Plan B throw in a Cummins turbo diesel.
I agree. The only issue is to have them do the work on an engine swap is still like 30-50K.
@@JohnEngel Just curious why is it 35 grand for them to put in a Cummins engine? The engine alone is like 10 to15

The original plate is still attached. Well a plate that looks the part is there.
@@JohnEngel Simply post of clear pic. of the Serial Data Plate and I can tell you if it's the real deal!
@@jimbella9353 thank you so much. To me it doesn’t really matter. I just love the vehicle. :)
The newer ones have a park and a overdrive and can do 70 75 with the 6.5l
Do it With rebel thank you. It would be so nice to be able to do 75 but most of the time I’m at 45-55 so around town I’ll be okay. Thank you again.
That’s a M998 High mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicle (humvee). I have had mine for 3 years and I love it as well!
Gary Mowery thank you. You are completely correct. I always thought all of them where H1s but I am learning so much and loving it.
Absolutely gorgeous. Looking to purchase one myself soon. Won’t be anything close to as nice though
Thank you so much. I love this thing. You are going to have a blast.
Hows about the PlanB hummers?
Price point seems interesting.
I bought mine well before all the prices on every car has skyrocketed. I’m loving it. I would Definitely suggest them.
I've seen these things break down alot.... I'll stick to my trd 4runner
They sure do. Lol. But what a way to go.
First the rear pintle mount/hitch that you said you didn't know what it was for is for a trailer. M101 I think it was. Which would make a great impracticable trailer edition. Considering the trailer comes to about chest high lol. Get one!!!!
When are you coming over for a ride?

Question!
Is the inside of the roof the headliner paint or carpet ?
It’s a thin carpet. I’m guessing that it’s just attached with glue.
That is actually a Plan B top and door kit and I’m sure there’s a few more items from Plan B on their
I also found that out. I am loving their stuff. Such a great vehicle.
@@JohnEngel It’s nice looking man enjoy it
If you want luxury predator in California do hummers and they do Duramax conversion
Predator Inc has some seriously amazing builds
True, awesome builds. And definitely pricey, but they definitely know thier stuff
@@lt9690 trust me I know I got my done at Predator
@@Jay-bk5sl what all did you have done to your truck, and how much did it cost if you don't mind me asking?

Just wait for the "wait" light and start. If you find the ride is rough, take it off-road. It drives like a Rolls Royce there. Trust me.
I was only saying that you have to turn all light systems on or you won’t have brake lights.
Is it a hummer or a hummwv?
Eagle Has Landed it’s a M998 HUMMWV. Great question.
Fits a place in my soul!! 🤘😂🤘 I feel you bro!
jason laplume exactly. Thank you. :)

If it's military, why do you keep calling it Hummer?
It’s a M998 and it just doesn’t flow off the tongue like Hummer. Lol.
@@JohnEngel Humvee does.
@@rgi8426 I will try to do better. Lol
I want one
I have loved this thing so much.
Do rain water get inside from the rear bed?
Yes it does. There is a seal but it doesn't do a 100% job.
Do you still have it and is expensive to own and maintain? Thanks
I sure do. I drive it all over. I love it. It is not expensive at all to insure or maintain. I don't think I would daily drive it but it is so much fun.
Looks like a HMMWV, not an H1 Hummer.
Hank Marsh you are 100% correct. I’m still learning about these and thought all where H1s. Thank you for keeping me straight.

That is not a hummer it is HMMWV.
Lol. It only has hummer in the title for search. It also has Humvee as well. Even the pic says it. :)
Before you take it off road get H1 Hummer under carriage protection or it will cost you a lot of money in damages. Also get sound proofing
R J G absolutely. I think I will start with sound proofing. Is there a good kit for this?
John Engel : check with Predatorinc.com not cheap but they do have some nice stuff just don't get carried away it cost more than your Humvee did. Really nice looking Humvee. Change oil as recommended and grease all your fitting also as recommended.
R J G I just checked them out. They have some awesome stuff but you aren’t kidding about price. Thank you.
What do u you do having all those nice cars . I just got me one and its slow as hell i don't go too much over 30
It’s a slow ride for sure. 55 is about the top. 60 going down hill. Lol.
You got a m998 with a 6.2... you got the WORST one, not a hummer
Lol. Yep.
It’s a humvee not a hummer
Grant Belleque tamatoto , Potato. Lol. I know.
Time to test it out off-road!
We need to do that for sure.
How much do you spend it?
Unfortunately it was not cheap
Somehow theres another shift to release the 3 wheel drive to save fuel & increase the speed.
Can I own one of these in colorado?
Man I love this thing!
Chadd Pittman thank you. I’m loving it so far. I’ve also learned a lot about them.
John Engel I cant wait to see it in person!
Chadd Pittman I should be bringing it out to some of the events.
I think I need one.
What is high/ low?
KMT15 In a humvee, High-lock and Low-lock are the four-wheel drives, High is the regular 4 wheel drive, Low-lock is for deeper sand and mud, and drives half the speed of High-lock
I wouldn't take it off road either....too clean lol
Extreme Automotive Addiction I need to do something off road with it but nothing too crazy.
I can tell you on thing, if it is a true military one then do not call it a hummer because other Humvee guys are going to chew your but out lol so please call it a Humvee if it’s military
Snowflake moblie there's a reason military doesn't want them.... Jeep as least has value...
Do,do, do Da,da,da that's all I got to say lol. With a name like that, I would also be mad.
NOT A HUMMER!!
Hudson Bowman it says HUMVEE in the title. :)
Yeah that's the funny thing 😂.
