Buying a Vehicle for Overlanding

[Lanlubber In Remembrance]

What other military vehicles would you suggest?

One way to locate military vehicles is to go online to Government liquidation.com. You can buy some nice trucks there with very low mileage on them. They sell them according to their age not the mileage. You can buy from the military base closest to where you live because they list them by states. Usually for less than $5000 you can find what you want. Unfortunately humvees are not sold to civilians for some reason.

A 5 ton, Duce and a Half, Hummv ambulance ... personally I would go with the HMMWV with the Ambulance package... it already has heat, 110v power; and A/C ported j to the back. If you can find a communications shelter HMMWV, they also incorporate a generator into the shelter.

We used to live in these rigs for months at a time... I hated living in the back of my 5 Ton with shelter... that’s a huge hike to get up into the back. My favorite was the Stripped down Commo HMMWV

I think you only need a cdl if you tow a trailer, and have air brakes. Straight trucks are ok. Because I.........uh........nevermind.
