Got one of the non-runners running. It still needs a bunch but at least it runs good.
So who wants to work on HMMWV's for $15/hr cash lol.

What kind of price will a driving one have?Two 'non runners' that after a good bit of work seem to be good drivers. Haven't driven them far but both did well on a ride around the neighborhood.
Out of 12 I have here (2 still waiting to be picked up) I have heard 6 run. 3-4 more might run, two are parts trucks.

I still have to put doors on them, lights, windshields, probably paint them, etc. But for a nice (looking and driving) runner I am figuring around $30k-$50k, (an ugly blue painted one sold today for $50k+ fees) but honestly will just have to see where the market is when they are ready. I am sure some will be cheaper, may have a fixer upper or two in the bunch that will be considerably cheaper.What kind of price will a driving one have?
It's a hope, not a guarantee. One just like these on Facebook for $69k right now and it doesn't have doors! Granted, I think the dude is smoking crack. The a/c will work and they actually ride pretty good. Hit about 65 in one this evening, not much fun without a windshield. Not bad for a truck that the auction people said 'could not be started'.$30k to $50k!! I sure hope those are street legal and comfy for that price!
Do these have cats on them? If so, knock ‘em empty. Bolt the empty cat back up in its normal location. Remove the muffler. Take the little section of tailpipe that comes from the muffler out the wheel well and bolt it up to the back of the cat. It makes a huge difference and sounds pretty damn good. Also, you can bump the injection pump about 1/8 of a turn inside the inspection cover on the side of the rotary pump (kind of a PIA) and they will scoot pretty damn well even under full combat load! (Ask me how I know lol)Mirrors, glass, half doors and some other stuff, this one is ALMOST ready for paint. I am still waiting on turret hole plugs, and also ordered enough x-doors for 6 HMMWV's. Took it out on the road today, big difference with glass! 70mph is pretty much topped out, comfortable at 60. A diff regear would make one of these trucks haul butt.

If you bump the pump enough and, with enough pedal it creates obscuration smoke as you are leaving the objective area.

idk what that is, but I dig it
Diff delete? Going to Shorten the frame or no?Why would I do that? I am not sure, but seemed like a good idea at the time . Now for a driveshaft and then a visit to Pfaff's for a windshield.
I am honestly tempted to move the transfer case back some so that I could hopefully do a 1 piece driveshaft. Maybe at the same time swap in a Oshkosh 55000 transfer case which is two speed instead of the factory single speed. The 55k would give me a higher top speed (around 80mph I think). If I do that, I'll be removing the bed to make life easier.
