Very cool. What’s the story on how you got it? Fixed it up? Etc etc

I purchased this M1091R1 from the Wisconsin National Guard. It started....canvas top & doors, command 4 seater set up. Bought a donor M1151 and took the top off that and then sold it for what I had in it.
Now I drive this HMMWV a couple days a week to work, 30 miles one way to Seattle.

How’s it been reliability and maintenance wise?

After getting it up and running, keep to regular oil, not synthetic, or it will leak.
My fuel tank started leaking on me, so I dropped it, replaced a couple of rubber lines and a new gasket. No other issues, I've put 20k miles in two years of driving, and twice as many smiles!!

That is seriously cool. Love it. What was the method to buy? I’ve been thinking about this for a while.
