HMMWV and H1s are extremely reliable. No idea what the f*** you’re talking about. The HMMWV engine and chassis was made to adapt for literally thousands of pounds more load than originally intended when being retrofitted with armament and/or protection.

Here in Finland probably 99% of cars are equipped with pre heaters. Either electric block heater or fuel operated heater. It's to heat up the engine which makes the starting much easier, and often there is also heater to heat up the interior. Pre heating the engine also reduces the tear and wear on the engine because when you do a true cold start, oil will be thick and lubrication will be bad, which is very bad for the engine to do every day.

I can totally see how this would be the perfect vehicle for Kazakhstan in the 90s for some rich oil executive/manager, especially with the mods. It's reliable and capable so it can get you all over the country to visit the facilities. Given the distances and lack of infrastructure (especially 20+ years ago) it could take a couple of days of travel so the bed, fridge, TVs, sat phone, etc mean you can comfortably take multi-day overland journeys.

Actually pre-heating-systems are pretty standard in many places where diesel engines are popular, since they are very easy to operate with diesel fuel. For example here in Germany a lot of camping vans have it or you can factory order one with many cars.

Abrams treads are 635 mm or 2'1" wide. Subtracting from the total vehicle width of 12', this means the gap between the treads is 7'10", so the Humvee's 7'2" width would fit entirely into the gap with room to spare, making it a physical impossibility for the Humvee to try "following" in the tread tracks. Further, there is absolutely zero historical evidence or design documentation that the Humvee was built with this intention. It's a myth, and it's false.

This particular one must be made by Eberspächer. I had that same timer panel shown at 11:37 in an early 1990s VW Golf Mk2. It's super nice to come to your car on a cold winter's day, everyone around is scratching ice from the windows of their cars, and your car has all the ice and snow already melted off. It's also great for the engine when coolant and oil are warm before you even start it.

I'm glad the one fact I know about this thing (the engine being shared with the Coaster) was mentioned. I could be wrong, but it looks like the mirrors were also taken from the Coaster, or at least it's VERY similar to it. I spent a few years going to school every day in the front passenger seat of a Coaster, so I got really used to seeing that mirror and its arm

One, I've never heard of this thing until now. Two, that auxiliary heater is also something truckers have, which makes the cab quieter and drinks less diesel than leaving the engine running all night. Three, now you need to do a crossover episode with Regular Car Reviews (or at least the owner should).

5 Tv screens, backup camera, a refrigerator, pimped out sound system, satellite phone, massive climate vents, heated leather seats, wood trim and tables, a bed, alcantara headliner, pre-heating system for cold weather, and 25 combined mpg with Toyota reliability. 1 of 12-ish lefthand drive examples. Even if this weren't a Japanese truck from the 90's, it would still be impressive. I can't see this going for less than $150,000. They absolutely killed it with this thing.
