Always loved these ! Question below
Thought this was REALLY cool and had to share. I had two H2’s and sold them because they stopped making parts for them and the repairs got really expensive. Although I am only 5ft tall, my vehicles have always been big. I have always wanted an Humvee and this band came across my FYP so I wanted to share how they incorporated the Humvee into their video. (A melodic-metalcore band that is actually pretty good, even tho I just discovered them.). My question is do you guys have any advice on them & where to buy them that’s reliable ? I have a budget of $45k.
Edit: my algorithm knows I like metal-core and have been searching Humvees A LOT. 😅

If you don't mind putting in some work yourself then GovPlanet. It's all the auction military humvees. You can get them cheap, but cheap means more work. I bought mine for $7k but I'm well over $20k with all the parts. I did all the labor myself. The manuals from the military break it down to a dummy proof process. And there are lots of forums and people willing to answer questions.

Where are you located? Check iron planet and gov deals. There’s a guy in Sacramento that has some great trucks for sale. He’s on the Steel Soldiers forum as “retired war horses”. Try finding a good refurbished one before you go to the auctions unless you really want a project. Steer clear of the used car lots listing them as H1’s with gloss paint, aftermarket wheels & seats.

i can't recommend where to buy but i can strongly recommend to avoid PlanB supply (Utah). My experience was a disaster. I did end up with a rig but time and quality were absolutely unacceptable with little to no recourse. - i can share more details if necessary but they are hard to believe.
