1986 AM General M998 Humvee
Desert Storm brought us into the battlefield with the nearly live action TV coverage that was available on cable news. During said coverage, the general public and in particular car aficionados took notice of these go everywhere vehicles our troops were using known as the Humvee. Their fascination led to a trend where AM General corporation which supplied the M998 Humvee to the military got the brainchild idea to make these trucks available to the public, and this became the Hummer line produced in their Mishawaka, Indiana facility.
For consignment, a 1986 AM General M998 Humvee with a 6.5 liter turbo diesel, troop seating, and a newer top.
Exterior
All business begins with a massive grille guard protecting the front end of the military monster and faded drab green paint is met with camouflage canvas on the newer top and doors. The back has a pickup style bed with raised areas for sitting and side rails while the tailgate is clearly out of uniform wearing patches of paint in different colors. The Yosemite Sam mud flaps were added as they are no doubt not regulation at Fort Dix, where this Humvee lived part of its life. High clearance in the middle is only a part of the trudging capability which includes high approach and departure angles and 16.5-inch wheels with gargantuan 31x12.50x16LT tires. Tow shackles and hooks are numerous and an airlift back bumper spans beyond the seven foot width of this M998, just in case you get stuck in the parking lot at Cabela's and need a lift out. Large towing mirrors stick out well beyond the 7 feet and flank a perfectly vertical windshield. As a heavy truck, the body has remained straight, and the only imperfection is the mismatched paint on every side. There are three holes on the back where the whip antenna mount would have been.
Interior
Okay, so remember, this is not a civilian Hummer, so it's going to be bare bones and rougher than a stucco bathtub. The canvas doors are clean and lead to simple cloth covered seats in mixed material, loose, dirty and ready for some offroading. Everything else is sparse and bare metal, if you don't include the drab green paint. A large steering wheel fronts a basic dashboard with black faced gauges, metal plates, switches, lights, and an added boost gauge needs to be weathered a bit to fit in. The engine cover and center hump takes up enough real estate to put your navigator in the next county and the cabin is comparatively narrow between the windshield and the canvas rear wall.
Drivetrain
The reverse opening hood reveals a battle ready 6.5 liter turbo diesel engine that is fuel injected and tied to a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission. Power is split between the axles where 2.73 gears reside and power disc brakes are used to slow this rig which in this configuration is somewhere around 5,000 pounds.
Undercarriage
Oh sure, there's surface rust and a bit of oil on the rear differential, but all the components of structure and suspension are cartoonishly huge. We're talking thick steel here to protect our troops and the bullet holes under here serve as drain holes. Coil springs, big ones, are the main mode of suspension on the independent front and back.
Drive-Ability
This is next level for those of us who played with toy army men in the mud. The clickety clack of the diesel surges this beast forward, not with enormous speed, but with plenty of torque and the big tires roll along the tarmac of our test loop and we dare anyone to get in our way, knowing full well we won't see another car. At any rate, the limited functions provided on this purpose built pickup all work as intended. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
Are you looking for a SHTF kind of vehicle? This is the ultimate bug out beast that comes equipped with a big, steel brush guard in the front for, you know, zombies. Or maybe you just live in the mountains or desert where mud, snow, and rocks normally get in your way. Perhaps you are a former military and want to use this for show. Looking for a vehicle to promote your business? So many options with this Humvee in the civilian world.
