See, you ask a dumb question, get dumb answers and get pissy. Carry on.

descriptive location, seems to fit

You just said it yourself:

"I have been a member here on TBN for quite a few years and have noticed that an OP will start a topic and within the first 3 posts/answers, it's off on a completely different direction."

If you had just said what you were trying to do you would probably have still gotten the same bunch of answers, but at least we would have understood your goal.

Not dogging you, but, it was just kind of funny.

Please put me on ignore
Thank you

I'd rather not. I like you and like your posts.

This one actually surprised me a little. Usually it's the electrical threads and the generator threads that bring the experts out of the wood work with answers that have nothing to do with what the OP asked or aren't even close to being accurate. I wouldn't have thought your question would have gotten 100 reasons not to buy a Humvee or what to buy instead of a Humvee.

I thought you were taking a poll of Humvee owners.

Hope you have a full-time mechanic on staff if you get one. I sat on the ESD board for a volunteer FD. They had 2 of them given to them by the Texas Forestry Service to use as brush trucks. After 12 months they belonged to the FD. Ended up getting rid of them and went to a 4500 4X4 cab and chassis with a flatbed.

Uncomfortable to drive or ride in. They were continuous maintenance problems, more downtime than uptime. They are 24V unless converted. Parts are hard to come by. Ended up using 1 as a parts vehicle to keep the other one running. Now that the military is getting away from them, I imagine they will flood the surplus market.

We drive 3 of them at work. And you really don't want to be driving them 50+ mph for extended times.

The humvees require more maintenance than a normal vehicle.

I'm curious now too...Is it going to be just a Sunday drive to church rig or something to haul hay with?
