Great Site Kudos from Bragg!!

Hi guys,
You have a really cool site and I dig your rides. Wish I had one of my own (ten years of wrenching them). I'm a QAR (Quality Assurance Rep) for Tacom for wheeled vehicles at Bragg. I drive and supervise repairs on tactical HMMWVs everyday (M1121s, M998s, M997s, M1114s, M1097s, A1 and A2.(our shop has about 60 in shop daily:) You are some lucky dogs. Anyone know where a lowly mechanic can get a wrecked HMMWV?

Welcome to the forum, you have all the reason to be involved in this club, you can get used Humvees down in the south for different prices. Try myhumvee or kascar. You want to look for the bare bones HMMWV, it will be most affordable.. I spent about 26K for mine but it was in four man configuration M998, and was silver taped, I bought mine off ebay froma a movie set in los angeles, ca. Semper Fi

If you are at Bragg you should get involved with the Living History Detachment at the 82nd Museum. We have a jeep and an Clark Airborne bulldozer that need some TLC. Contact John Arshen the museum director to get involved. We have several military vehicle owners in fayetteNAM. Just last weekend I helped my buddy replace the engine in his Dodge Command car.

best place to get a HMMWV ebay, xhumvee.com, CSI Chris Whitener 770-443-1553. They are not recks and you will likely not find one recked. Most are low time trucks '85 to '93 issue. They are not cheep but resonable and you get what you pay for. Look out for west cost trucks some of them have badly corded frames. Do your home work it will pay of in the end. Good luck. 19000 to 25,000 is a good price range to be expecting.
