Military HMMWVs that find their way into civilian hands are disavowed by GM.
\I was in Pizza King the other day and I saw a posting on the bathroom wall that Jill is a Hummer Enthusiast. Next time I'm in there, I will be sure to write down the number.
Military HMMWVs that find their way into civilian hands are disavowed by GM. It'll be difficult to impossible to secure any repair or replacement parts for it. They're not supposed to find their way into the DRMO channels. They're supposed to be remanned if possible and mutilated and recycled if not.
That being said, try govliquidation.com and/or govdeals.com. Also, try steelsoldiers.com. They have a forum for HMMWV enthusiasts. They might be able to help further.
There is a large military vehicle recycler somewhere between Bloomington & Crane (I think). My neighbor bought his 6X6 there and he told me that this place was a wealth for military vehicles and parts. They do have a web site and sell bare bones to totally restored.
You've proven to me once again that you have more money than sense. But I'll overlook that if you take me for a ride in it.
If I were you I would look for an early H1 that has a turbo 6.5. The 6.2 NA motors are ok, but really lack the power to go down the highway. You can always make the civi H1 look just like a HMMWV and you will have a normal 12v charging system.
Good luck finding one local.
If you ask me, they are over-rated. Huge, unwieldy, under-powered, and they don't fit hardly anywhere (on or off road). The interior is incredibly cramped, and they can't even tow much. Sounds perfect for you!
If you got money to burn, why not, right?
Paris Hilton or one of them Khardashian gals?????
There are several Gov liquidation sites that work just like eBay, just google government liquidation and you'll find theme say enough. I was looking at 5 tons the other day!
The guy near Bloomington (actually Unionville) sells on Ebay motors under the military vehicles heading. He is a friend of mine and deals in trucks, stock to full-blown custom crew-cab rear steer air ride monster-fied beasts. He does not get hummers, though he does occasionally get Unimogs. He usually buys 20 or more trucks at a time from on-base equipment sales.
His web page is C&C Surplus.

new tranny (not dead tranny)
Is it bad I laughed a lot at this?
This thread is even more disappointing than the dead tranny one from earlier. Here I come in expecting entertainment on an unprecedented level and you're talking military vehicles

Can you use a 10m/11m radio with the antennas that are located on the back? I know they're tuned for the SINCGARS system, just wondering if they're be any loss if i use a SINCGARS facia and put some CB/HAM/etc equipment inside. I should probably ask this in the survival part of this forum...
I do have a side question for those in the know...
