28K for a truck thats at least 5 times as durable and rugged as these 60K trucks now days is a hell of a deal in my opinion.

So, they're buying surplus military Humvee's that anyone can buy for 2-7K and doing a couple thousand dollars in maintenance and then reselling them for 25-50K... good business

Unless you have plenty of SPARE PARTS it will be a Zombie Doorstop. It's a nice toy though. For IRLSHTF picking very common trucks with very common drivetrains means you can cannibalize parts from wrecks.

I'm not into the whole preparedness idea, but these trucks are sweet!

"The military hard tops . . . were integrated sometimes with those gun turret rings. Private individuals don't need those." Obviously, you don't live in Chicago..

Got my M998 HMMWV "Humvee" for 8100 bucks from the government. Fully functional, everything works, no issues, in great shape. Straight 100% Mil Spec. I served in the Marines for 5 years and know most military vehicles very well. It's not hard to tag them in most states either.

Love the look of the slant back H1's. This looks like a fantastic build!

I went to the hmmwv assembly plant in Indiana when I was active duty. a trick to FULLY lock the wheels in these things is to gently hold the brake pedal then pushing the gas pedal. The guy who showed us this climbed up a wall till it was completely upright. when they started slapping armor on them they beefed up the suspension and put the turbo on them. even with the added weight of the armor, the turbo made these things a whole new animal. the NA ones were dogs-as were the old coupvees (chevy blazers) I loved watching the Marines come blasting off the LCU's ramps into the ocean and the hmmwv would be completely swamped under water, then creep out of the ocean, open the doors and water flows out. hahaha. good stuff gents, keep it up!

big, slow and ugly I WANT ONE NOW

I routinely drove my Humvee 60+ MPH in sunny Iraq on supply runs to minimize the issues of IEDs. If you get a military hard-top version with air conditioning you may be disappointed as the A/C is marginal. Generally, the Humvees are very reliable and simple to repair. If you get the 5-ton military truck think if it as an oversized Humvee. The simplicity carries over. You can drive with your parking brakes on, and your trailer's parking brakes on and you'll never know it. Lots of low end power!

Had work done by these guys, a duramax swap. It took more than 3 trips up there to get these guys to get it right and deliver a complete finished product. Significant issues. Leaking gas tank, rubber fuel lines routed right next to the exhaust system. Loose bolts throughout, brake issues, someone put the wrong brake fluid in the brake system, options installed that i never asked for. These guys worked to fix it all, bit by bit. But it was NOT a turn key experience. Final trip up there to pick it up, I drive it to the hotel I was staying at and it wouldn't start. Apparently, a malfunction with the keyed ignition. They repaired it, brought it back the next day.. I was not constantly on the phone harassing and rushing these guys. They had my truck over 10 months. Driving home, the a/c unit bagan spitting out water out of the vents. They had cut the condnsation tube too short, so air from outside was blowing air into the fan motor, Upon finally getting it home , it had electrical problems where it died right on i 10 in a construction zone. Also, the shifter assembly wasn't moving well to get it into gear well.. Emailed and called Dan Mike, and company. They said sure, sorry send us pictures and receipts and we'll send you a check. And more than 6 months later. No response. These guys have ghosted me. Edit: a year after the fact they finally paid for repairs begrudgingly after airing out the issues here on you tube. For the amount paid, poor service in the end once I was out of thier town and less than 1500 miles on it. Be ready to go back for multiple do overs

I like the folks at plan B. Dan really knows his stuff. I'm torn about what I want....a hummer, a deuce and a half or a 5 ton?

Love it... GREAT ideal, man! Always good to see someones ideal take shape and come to life. Even better to see that ideal become a successful business. I personally own the civilian 1995 Hummer by AM General, 4 door open top. It's basically an m998 with all the creature comforts....

I want one more than a sports car. EMP resistant? now I really want one

Cool Video! I have been subscribed for about a year now and I loving every upload. Might I suggest turning the music down.I was playing this through the TV and my Dad and I cld barely hear you over the music.

For 35k+, I think the money can be better invested. One of the most important lessons is to surround yourself with items that can be easily repaired or replenished. You've got a diesel guzzling GM 6.2 with questionable repair time and rare supplies to do so (unless you live near another Humvee). I don't want to get into a whole GM vs. MOPAR bashing session, but I'd much rather own a bullet proof 4.0 Jeep with maybe a straight-six Cummins 6.7 as my preparedness vehicles.

They don't cost 20 to 30,000 a year to drive, parts, both new and used are plentiful, they get much better than 5 mpg and now they are for sale all over and cheap too!.

This dude is literally making money while doing the bare minimum honestly. If you’ve been in the military you’ll know. Seats don’t cost a lot and painting the truck can be done anywhere

Super fun. Up here in Canada we don't get neat stuff like these. If funds were unlimited, I'd get one, for fun.

I want one, those are awesome. I loved driving mine with the marines several years ago

I am sure she is screaming rpms at 70 with a 3 speed.

How this is the first time I am hearing about?!?! This is awesome. I so want one.

Ford SVT Raptor - Ultimate Apocalypse Vehicle (UAV) Actually, isn't the Raptor about as wide as an H1 Hummer? I like this though, and I like the fact that an American Company is taking these and building them to what people are obviously buying for a variety of reasons! As well, all the questions about fuel economy and availability, in an Apocalypse situation, are you really going to be going out on road trips, or is more about the capability to get around in horrible situations.

Nice job on the modifications. One good addition would be putting some kind of closable storage box on top of those huge space-taking consoles!

I've been looking for quite awhile now and the prices continue to fall as the market sees more and more conversions. I think it is a great thing we are recycling our military aluminum😁 anyway, I loved the video a lot and learned alot. thanks!

lol that end clip is funny!!!Wow civilians!! Truck is under water its still running but i'm freeking out lol.

damn it!!!! It's so beautiful truck, I wish I can buy it soon.

I have that exact same Walt Disney World hat that the Plan B guy is wearing!! :D

🤣🤣🤣 I've seen cheap 90s Toyotas pickup boat through water deeper than that. Hope your Plan B has worked out. You guys are really awesome. Understand that Hummers are NOT for civilian/expeditionary stuff.

These look amazing, but recently I had a chance to ride in a mil spec one right off a base. Unless there is some suspension upgrade

Also, the h1 "pannels" are for sound proofing and insalation. Without that it's horible loud and hot/cold. The H1 also has dual ac, heated windshield (not defrost) with 99% uv blocking rating. Also, the H1 I have is rated for 88mph and can tow over 10,000 pounds.

I drove these in the USMC. Talk about gutless! Need a engine option with a carbureted crate big block. Keeps it simple electrically but has big power/torque.

As i know injectors are mechanical,so nothing electronic here. the only electronic devices are the shut off solenoid valve to cut and allow fuel supply and diodes for the glow plugs relay.

Agree. Humvee is awesome!

everyone thinks these are so cool and everything, i am currently serving active duty in the Marine Corps and im a 3521 and i fix these. they can be a huge pain to work on! the one they are driving in the video is the non turbo version.

Oh you will have a blast doing off road! I rode in one from Camp new York Kuwait all the up to Baq'uba Iraq back in 04 not to mention I drove the snot of one for the 4 years of active duty while in Germany. Very versatile vehicles and whole lot of fun to take into the mud. Maintenance wasn't too bad either other than a few leaks. Oh and I can personally vouch for the 81 mph top speed. Done it countless times on the A3, A6, A73, A6 Autobahn in Germany Traveling from Vilseck to Bamberg and other areas for training. Much Love for that monster from me. Enjoy the time they give you with it my friend. ;)

buy a land cruiser or a Nissan patrol/safari real offroaders and really reliable

That's beast, I wish there was a Humvee model with a manual!

The problem with "preparedness" is once you run out of diesel they are useless, and the fuel will run out very fast. Love this truck tho

You can buy a surplus Humvee for 10 grand. Change the fluids and battery and they're pretty bulletproof.

So let me see if I have this right.... Plan B takes a Humvee from auction for no more then $10,000 or, gets them a whole lot cheaper because they buy them in bulk direct from the base. Then they add paint & seats, refresh fluids and whatever is bad, maybe new top or just clean and that makes them now worth $29,000????? I could see if they rebuilt the engines and trans but don't see where the $20,000 is coming from. But hey, I am sure some will buy them and that is good for business.

Welcome to Utah, Andre! Can't wait to see part 2.

I still miss the Humvee. Beast on the road, pissed of a lot of Green freaks, and fought for the country.

I'm a little confused. First, isn't a turbo 400 a 4 speed? Not a 3 speed? I didn't know they came with the turbo 400 option I thought they were all electric, 4L80e transmissions. Also, the transfer case... 4 hi, 4 hi lock, 4 low lock. I thought the lock was an electronic torque converter lockup for decelerating down hills... The hummers do not have locking axles.... Am I incorrect?

'Blackout drive'....does it still work? ;-)

Please do some stuff on the 6x6!

Also, the 55mp is recomended due to the gear rario and the gears in the hubs. It will blow up.

I have a M998 with the 6.2 & a 3spd. If you do 60mph it is so loud inside you need earplugs, it feels like its at its limits. that 3 Spd is shit. I haven't got the cash but it needs a cummins, Allison swap then it is awesome. it gets about 15mpg now, not a fuel guzzler at all. You can always find diesel fuel somewhere.

Oh nooo! What a jam! Can't wait to see that video!

Just an FYI, Gale Banks makes a turbo for the old 6.2 GM Diesel.

I heard a lot of bad things about poor quality materials, mechanical issues and quick deterioration after the trucks leave their shop. Their intentions seems genuine, I wanted one so bad but I am really thinking about not taking the risk.

It couldn’t even climb that little hill. Hahahaha

My Pinzgauer will go anywhere this will, and even further, while fitting down narrower roads, climbing steeper grades, and getting better gas mileage. All stock.

I luved the video bro, very informative & cruising down the road with flags flying means don't mess with me,I'm all American and will take you out!Very nice and informative bro

Luv them humvee's

81 mph? Maybe downhill in a hurricane. Oh, the bush bumper upgrade? That's odd. I've never seen or drove a military HUMVEE that didn't have one... And it's like driving a tractor. And ragtop HUMVEEs are like driving a tent ON a tractor. That slant back HUMVEE does look nice. Maybe offer a turbo on those doggy GM diesels. Affordable to the average American? Ha. All for the price of a brand new JEEP UNLIMITED RUBICON, which is just as capable if not more. Just my $.02.

Silly question. Is there a specific kind of mechanic one would take a Humvee for repair(s) and maintenance?

Personally the only thing that really ever bothered me is the 2 facts that it doesn't have a key ignition.. they were just ignition switches.. and that their transmissions didn't have park.. and you were forced to always rely on a working parking brake while trans is placed in neutral

@2:26 "is it quieter than the dually truck?" "it is not, it is less wide, it's only 7ft" you correctly answered the question with a wrong answer!

There is a misconception that the humvee is some super, non-getting-stuck, off-road, go anywhere, do anything vehicle, but I have probably gotten stuck in a humvee more then in my personnel rig. I remember driving those huncks of crappie for hours and for 28k+ I would rather get a more comfortable vehicle.

Beautiful vehicle

Are there any preowned right hand drive military humvees made directly from factory? Wouldn't like the after market conversions

Spit out your freaking gum when you are in an interview. I mean, really.

Nice Job.. wheres the 50 cal?

Require electronics for the glow plugs and injectors eh? Replace the glow plug controller with a momentary on toggle switch... And I don't know what the crap they did to the injectors, but our old ass 6.2s only require electricity to activate the solenoid in the injection pump... Also doable without EMP-sensitive electronics.

lmao. so tell me again how easy it is to change tires on a split rim. your a funny man. still waiting on that dot stamp on the hweel. oh yeah, i have several sets of those in the shed so i already know.

Where are you going to get parts when SHTF? Where are you going to get diesel? Preppers are stupid. 9 times out of 10 you shouldn't bug out. You should bug in. You can store more supplies in your house/bunker than you could ever carry with you at a moment's notice.

Nice! 4wd, stout and super cool looking... and EMP proof. But affordable? I guess if u got lots of xtra $$$. I buy old trucks all the time for under 1000 bucks put about 1000 bucks in em and drive the crap out of them. My 66 Dodge D200 is EMP proof gets about 10MPG and goes about anywhere except past a gas station. I took an IED hit in an up armour so I do got a soft spot for these, one in my head and one in my hip haha....But more power to you dude for giving the people what they want! and honestly if I had extra cash and room id buy one of these from DRMO... 66 D200 2x4 79 F250 4x4 78 CJ 7 4x4 03 WRX AWD (slightly mod-ed) 94 DR650 (mod-ed)

Do they do anything to prevent the #8 cylinder problem or is that not an issue on military humvees?

"offer sound dampening" The one they were filming in didn't sound like it had sound dampening. Also would be great if it goes underwater, to keep the water outside the vehicle.

Wow, I think I just might buy one

What is the solar panel on the hood for? Where do you get the 24v - 12v trailer light box?

The tech in these things are ancient but they look badass. You think you could fit a bigger engine inside. But If I bought one it would need a turret door

Y'all should test out one of those sweet 5 tons they have sittin' around in there lol.

Wow, those military units are affordable. I think I had about 130k in mine back in the day!

Thats awsome i want one

Good one Andre

Very cool

I'd want one original with the turret. Bc I'll be getting a class 3 tax stamp when I get the money as well as a ma duece

hey those are cheaper that a jeep wrangler unlimeted rubicon hard rock Im thinking of getting one now even though i am a big jeep fan i will buy a humvee off of plan b supply before gatting a new jeep My plan 1: buy a humvee from plan b supply 2: buy a jeep wrangler unlimited

6,2 liters of absolutely nothing but horrible fuel consumption... Can someone who knows better tell me are they at least reliable?

very cool

how hard is it to find parts for keeping it maintained? and is it expensive to maintain it?

Do they have A/C? I live in Texas,gotta have A/C!

qué belleza de vehículos!!!

I would love to upgrade engine with smaller and better turbo-petrol version.

Australia needs this!

I know this has probably been asked before but does plan b supply offer financing?

What’s the price of the gray one being test driven?

i own one of these! they are so fun!

Hi. I know you work on a lot of M998 Was wondering if you ever ran across problem with no low beam on drivers side only? I see this to be a common problem but no answers on what the cause or repair is? Can you help please? Is there a headlight control module?

looking for suppliers for parts of military vehicles such as HMMWV M113 or BMY, if anyone has information I would greatly appreciate it!

Wouldn't any pre 74 vehicle be emp proof?

Is there any type of locker?

Looks awesome

Could you tow a 18 foot open trailer with a utv and quad just fine?

I really need to find my own Apocalypse friends.

You might have got it to 81mph, but the real queastion is how long did it take?

Saw humvee and was ready to criticize the actual affordability. But to be fair the price they sell these for, especially after rebuilding it, isn't so aweful.

How about using big block patrol V8?
