I like Hummer's because they show everything that is right about being from the good ole US of A. But who ever owns this eyesore, needs to get there money back, at gunpoint if necessary.
I hear lots of bitching and crying how it isn't a good copy, how it's not a decent chassis for offroading, yadda yadda yadda bullshit bullshit bullshit.
How many cars have the whiners built? Was that a perfect copy of something original? Or did you cut corners, take advantage of preexisting hardware, turn a blind eye etc.
The guy likes Humvees. He built one. It isn't a perfect copy but I'm confident that if he wanted to he could've built that. He brings a mountain of skills to the party and has wrought what $75,000 can't even buy anymore, and he's done it with a strong eye for detail without letting the concours d'elegance ruin his goal of achieving a roadable machine.
What do any of you care whether it has portal axles or not, a diesel or not? He's building his own truck, almost from scratch. He doesn't care for GM, which sells the AM General-built Humvee, so he's using Ford mechanicals. He's blazing his own trail.
That's Jalopnik, folks. I got nothing but respect.

I just realized that there is a 2nd gen of the LLV mail trucks the FFV, it is no longer an S-10, but some sort of Ford based truck.

I'd smash the front end right into a wall. Then I would tell everybody I go off-roading every weekend.
I think I might kick-f*ck it a little too, just to make it more believable.

You keep using this word "invested." I do not think it means what you think it means.

However, I do question whether the owner can actually consider this thing an asset.
