What to know before buying a Military Hummer 

Unless you are a gear head and have some deep pockets. I don't recommend you buy one. I was an Army mechanic for 10 years and worked on thee vehicles all of the time. These vehicles have issues and require constant maintenance. Most issues came from the generator/alternator, power steering and starters. Some issues where human made. People not waiting for the glow plug wait light to go off before starting the engine. It will start at first but after a while the glow plugs will start to swell/glow plug controller will go out. They also have a PCM that likes to go out from time to time. People that don't know any better will try to use eather to get them to start. Not a good idea. If the glow plugs swell you will catch hell trying to replace them. If you still want to buy one go for it. Just keep in mind that you will need to have plenty of tools/know how to keep these bad boys running smoothly especially if you live in the colder climates. Good luck all! ;)

This guy: "tHis iS a miLiTarY hUmMer" Humvee: "AM I A JOKE TO YOU?"

Military version is NOT a Hummer, its a HMMWV or Humvee ... Hummer is only the civilian version.

for the absolute love of FN everything stop calling it a hummer.

There are 2 main contracts, one from the Marine Corps, = Clean SF97 ( Highway use) and there is the other contract from DLA (Defense Logistics Agency) = Non Clean SF97 (Has Stamp Off Road Use only). You have to choose your humvee correctly online.

I live in WA. State, and bought mine from a local guy that sells them as a hobby. No problem with paperwork here! Got my registration and plates in 15 minutes, and my title in less than two weeks. Best part, I put on on the same insurance policy as my collector car, for $95 per year!

$1000 shipping isn't bad shipping a humvee. I paid $800 to have a transmission shipped through 3 states.

Thank you for the information, greatly appreciated!

I've bought a lot of 5 tons off gov plant and never had much trouble i can say a bill of sale and de-milled form are a lot easier to title and you can change the gvw and insure it as RV uses $40 a month

Great points and tips you made. Very well organized thoughts. I agree with a lot of what you mentioned. Great video!

Maybe they screwed you cause you keep calling it a military hummer

Thank’s for the info because, I’m interested in purchasing one !

Great advice.

Ty Very Informative.

Thank you for the info ... and also, thank you for NOT using some creepy computer voice.

After spending years in the army infantry and seeing how these vehicles are treated and how they drive and everything I don’t understand why people want these things. Idk about ones online but all the ones we had broke down constantly

You don't need an sf97 document to get a title for a Humvee. It'll also work with a bill of sale which is a much cheaper option to go with. When you go to get a title you'll have to provide an invoice showing that you purchased a vehicle for tax purposes and to show that you are the one who actually purchased the vehicle. You will also need to have a VIN check done on the vehicle. You can obtain a title without registering the vehicle and inspection does not have to be done other than a VIN check in most States when obtaining strictly a title. If you do go to register the vehicle on your state requires safety and emissions you will have to add some things to the Humvee so it will pass safety. You are required to have a light for your license plate however aside from this in most States that is mainly the only thing you have to install on the Humvee to make it legal because it is already equipped with all the other appropriate things necessary to pass that is if the vehicle has been gone through and you check the brakes and make sure everything in that regard are functioning properly. A lot of states are now catching on to these Humvees being purchased off govplanet and are putting in regulations to prevent them from being registered on Road. You have to go through several hurdles to get them Street legalized in the states that are buckling down on these regulations.

I love your back drop brother

great info

I've street legalled a "homemade motorcycle" (ohv with swapped frame in a not-dualsport-friendly state). Street legaling these should not be hard. DMV form signed by state police saying theyve inspected the vin, and either (depending on state) a signed statement by you or DOT inspection signed by a dealership/mechanic attesting that it has all required DOT approved lights, tires, and a horn. Tho this was the process to do a bike, I imagine it should be just about identical..

Funny how it's easier to buy an AR-15 or an AK-47 and lots of ammo, and pressure cookers and all kinds of other dangerous things in one visit to Wall Mart, yet you cannot buy an old Army Jeep.

This is not a Hummer. Hummers are inspired by this, which is actually an Am General HMMWV, but the Hummer is a luxury rendition. HMMWV means Highly Mobile Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, and can be referred to as a Humvee.

Nice Video. Very helpful.

The first Humvee I ever bought from govplanet took 90 days before it was released to me. The second one took about 95 days before it was released to me. If you have an issue with them going to be on the time frame they list call them. At about the 94 day mark for the second Humvee I gave them a call and said hey you guys haven't released the item to me yet and it's been past 90 days. Well they were on the phone with me they called the necessary Department to get the Humvee released. I was then able to pick it up the next day. If you have this issue just give him a call they're pretty good at working with you most of the time.

Will you stop calling the military version “Hummers?” They are not call or referred to as Hummers. They are Humvee’s. Thanks

I'm thinking it would be a whole lot easier being active military to pick it up.

JKIf you do it correctly you can go on base and remove the Humvee yourself.Most everything else was spot on.The crazy wait time was the worst part.They expect you to pay right away but then they have your money and your truck for months and months.Then finally you get your truck and still have to wait for paperwork to title it...Crazy...

Or you can buy one from Plan B Supply for $25,000. They take care of all that and they can also add creature comforts if you want them.

Prices are pretty high right now. I see humvees on auction go for 10k, just simple pick up body, no doors and no roof.

they are not all titled off road use, mine came with a clean sf97

" I'm not gonna go into detail on how to get a ""military hummer"" onto the street , nor will I promote it". Well then what in the hell are we here for? Wow dude.

Keven Paulson, I agree with you. After spending 6 years in the Marine Corps we called them Humvees. HMMWV = HUMVEE. The civilian version is called Hummer. No Military literature designates it the Hummer. Just a rookie mistake.

A hummer is a luxury vehicle. A humvee is anything but a luxury vehicle. Edit: I AM WRONG, the brand HUMMER got its name from the HMMWV (Humvee)

How is this with the shipping when you‘re in another country? For example Germany

Next time but a mic. The room echo is super annoying.....

what if I’m military but buy it from gov planet?

Also called Iron Planet

“Hummers” and “Humvees” are completely different

I herd you saying "S. Florida" any honest mechanic to recommend in Miami...?

Very informative. One question left unanswered: Since there are off-road titled, how does pickup work?

How many times are you going to keep saying MILITARY HUMMER....OUCH

I would love to get me one but there not worth the pain of getting one.

You didn’t say a whole lot

Is it possible to get a Humvee from India?

If I put a AR in the background, people might take my video seriously.........It's a HMMWV or HUMVEE......not a HUMMER

Clicked this vid just to say its not a hummer darn it

What was your experience with how much they went over their initial asking price?

If you want a military humvee go look up plan B they have them in stock and already titled and street legal

Humvee gosh damn it!

You mean HMMWV OR "HUMVEE"

How much would it cost to refurbish a military humvee?

Did you ever get your title lol

Wait. So are you saying our govt is Fucking incompetent? This is my shocked face. 😑

Can you mount a m2 50cal browning machine gun on a hummer?

What did you pay per vehicle?

It’s not a hummer it’s a HMMWV

#It is a Humvee

I'd like to get in contact with the fellow in this video. He says he is located in Minnesota where I live. Please contact me when you have time.

It's a Humvee... for God's sake.

I wonder if you can get it faster if your a veteran.

Can you own a Humvee in Florida and use it as a daily driver

I received SF97 with all four of my HMMWVs (Humvee).PSHummers are wimpified HMMWVs, for man bun wearing, purse carrying dudes

Shit ill use my mil status and go pick it up personally.

YOUR NOT GOING TO GET INTO HOW YA CAN MAKE THEM STREET LEGAL well that sux !!! How bout M-1008 M-1009 M-1022 M-1023 MILITARY ROAD LEGAL VEHICLES....... Let’s make it EASY !!!!!!!!!!!!

Im from mexico can i get one?

Dude looks like Steve Carell

is it hard to get california title if it has offroad use only? and became street legal

Uh Humvees are the military version and Hummers are for civilians.

Isn’t the background check due to the amount of lithium in the batteries?

Just like the governmentr to take forever to do anything. I find it funny how you can get a gun,background check and delivery. Faster then you can get a vehicle that is unarmerd and with no weapons/ weapon attachments.

The first thing you need to know that it’s not a hummer it’s a Humvee 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Does it process quicker if you’re ex military?

I don’t understand the intent of buying these vehicles.. is there a civilian market or is this guy just coco for humvees?

did he really say military hummer? the fuck is that?

How do I get them road legal

Does govplanet ship to Canada?

Dont buy a hmv they are garbage, going 30mph feels like you're re-entering earths atmosphere 😂😂

It's not military hummer dude. It's military HUMVEE. Looked you should be the one to know first. lmao

It’s just wired to hear you say military hummer......

Tacticool 😂

Only the civilian version?. Same assembly line same thing, alot more stuff iinside. Buy humvees, buy,buy,buy. I have always wanted a sea of humvees driving around, clubs,trail rides truck shows and the rest. Real american (real 4x4's) and all over the world. Clubs everywhere. Pretty biased O.K. there's a h-1 in the garage maybe that's why i like them. What about all the former military mechanics to work on these beasts in civiian life, they really do need a lot of work.

SO is it a scam?????

So what is the website that you bought them from?

I’m sorry it’s pronounced Humvee thank you very much

MIlitary versions are called Humvees. Civilian versions are Hummers.

Any one who is a u.s citizen can pick up there humvv with all his her paperwork but if you have the bank roll to pay the shady shipping companies that say BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH and it’s going to be this and that BS. I’m in the trucking industry and I know all garbage that’s thrown around and then tell the trucking company it only pays x amount of money while on the ather hand they rape customers. So be careful and do ur homework better off Renting a car trailer and doing it yourself if you have a pick up truck. You won’t regret it.

how about shipping it in europe? is it even possible?

1. It's not a Hummer it's a HMMWV.

Hmmwv is it real name.. but civilians will never know

How much did you pay for the Hummers

That’s a Humvee not a hummer

Judging from all the comments below .... this dude doesn't completely understand what he's talking about.

What's the price

question: can you do something about lowering the engine noise?!

Hey, did anyone else say that it is a HUMVEE?

Will you stop referring to & calling these military versions “Hummers?” They are H

Its a humvee not a hummer

It suck enourmous amount of fuel I suppose
