This review is so funny with Paul screaming in the cabin to explain the features 🤣

Do the toughest off-roading you can find

American vet spent a good time in those as an “ A driver”. The classic bit was getting the young “boot” to find the keys to the humvee. It worked sometimes!

So sick Paul. When I was a young lad, a guy near me had a purple h1, metal door though. Used to ride past it all the time to my mates house (western Sydney). The guy actually removed the centre pylon in his garage and put a new wide door to fit it in there lol. I stopped once and asked him questions and he let me sit in it etc. I would have been maybe 13, I thought it was the best. Always wanted one since and I’m in my early 30s now 😂 Cheers mate.

High beam on the floor used to be the norm.

Also, most of the body is constructed out of aluminum but the chassis is steel however.

We were missing the 0-100, 80-120 & braking from 100-0. And lets not forget how fast it goes in reverse. I'm sure most ppl wouldn't mind watching for another 15mins for that.

That's what I came here for! I was so disappointed. I'm considering this or an MG4 XPower. Now I'm not sure which to buy ;)

Definately want to see an offroad review!

I am eagerly waiting for the reverse speed test of this, Paul 😂😂

You can squeeze a bit more horsepower and fuel efficiency out of your truck with a Paradox by Design cooling expansion upgrade. It expands the cooling lines so your rear 2 cylinders get active coolant flow. Plus you remove the chance of cracking the rear 2 cylinders from overheat. It's an easy drop in kit, the truck will take slightly longer to warm up to its operating temp but its worth it especially in Australia where its so hot.

00:01 Much better than the original title Paul gets a Hummer then smashed boxes!

Good on ya Paul.. you truly really are a car guy ..👍

The radio is an RT-524/VRC Very High Frequency Radio. 30-75 Mhz. It's been around since the 70s from memory. X-Mode dial was to connect cypher equipment to make communications secure. 35watts on high power. The 'light' switch was to allow the call light to turn on or off when a call was received. When you press the the microphone for a second or two your should hear the internal cooling fan spin up. The 'retransmit' connector allowed you to connect two radios together and use it as a retransmission station.

An off road comparison with an ADF LR Perentie would be interesting. Kinda like the first of the new era vs the last of the old.

Definitely love to see some 4wding and off roading. Even some more difficult places, those portal axles are the business!

Fantastic and fun review, Paul

No apple carplay... thats a deal breaker!

Next video idea.....do a reaction video when you park the Humvee outside Yarra City Council?

Excellent! Thanks for sharing Paul! 🙌

Mark mate the excitement in your voice reviewing this car,im happy for you bro

this review single handedly beats all other oz channel's videos, all of them!!!

0:50 Paul, don’t be shy and continue playing that music 😂

We definitely want to see you take it off-road. Interestingly, a 60% gradient is only 31°. Many modern 4WD can do much steeper such as many Land Rover with 45° (100%) slope.

"you can fry the whole system if you just keep trying to start it without the glow plugs actually...finishing their glowing". sounds technical, Paul!

Loved this! Thank you Paul!!

THanks for sharing. I must say that I would like to see this tested on something other than your "light off road course". Cheers

There's a few guys here in Aus with your radio setup, I think you should look into a VIC 1 intercom setup (of that period) or a newer VIC3 intercom setup as is used in service, it allows you to talk to your passengers and not go deaf whilst driving your truck, they are relatively easy to install if your truck hasn't been modified and can be modified to work with the radio. The radio you have to NOT use on military freqs depending on the type and era of radio and its abilities.

Paul, that's a portion of a very early AN/VRC 47 Radio set, typically what was found in the early HMMWVs and other vehicles 80s, 90s. Late 90s sees the intro of Sincgars radios or stacks as we call them, Rt 1423, 1439, 1523 as I have replicated in my m1123 in Brisbane. There's so many variations on these trucks, could do some cool videos in Aus in future if we got some other people together. I tried to convince Alborz to get one.

Happy to see you’re enjoying your investment

Originally they came in US Nato Woodland and once Operations in the MEAO popped up they hastily brought in the carc tan, more often painted over the top on the exterior unless a vehivle went through a full reset. the 383 green yours in in, is something of more modern times where they go through reset and remain in green or tan over the nato camo.

Awesome. Glad she landed safe.

I drive Hummer H2. You are my Aussie hero

No wonder my Suzuki doesn’t have those sling hooks like with this Humvee. I guess because military never drops Suzuki Swift to battle zones.

I'm sure you could connect the radio to a power source and into an Anritsu to work out the Transmit/Receive Frequencies etc. I sell comms gear for work and do these kinds of things all the time :)

Thanks for the look

Absolutely an off-road test/review!

Awesome Joy, thank you.

Just what every Aucklander needs in thier driveway…and joking aside I bet there’s a fair few who would 🤪 As a toy it’s brilliant mate and good on ya for having one. At least it’s not blacked out with every 4x4 accessory and never leaves the school run

Ah, I miss my hmmwv. As insane as it was, it a classic and awesome.. I sold mine to Gosford car museum it was converted to RHD based on the NZ Hmmwv development project which never eventuated. It's a Tank on rubber wheel.

Love to see the off road what it can do

I'd love to see it destroy the normal off-road test that you guys do for pickups and SUVs! Basically use it to establish a baseline!

I can relate to this as i have stuff that old, noisy, slow and chews juice 😂 as well. Ww2 Studebaker us6 6x6 , ww2 Willys mb Jeep , ww2 Blitz and a beaut ww2 Dodge Weapons Carrier 6x6 😅 Loved the video! Awesome stuff! Please do one over big dunes i bet it would eat them!

Been waiting for this since you acquired it 😂

Looks so safe, no headrests, no bucket seats and a bunch of pointy metal bits at head distance haha honestly can’t believe this can get registered but a modern car with a engine swap can’t

Wheres the ambient lighting, and you didnt demonstrate the launch control

Good one 🤜🏼🤛🏼

Needs a drift test

Love the HUMVEE and still love your watch mate. 😂

"My other car is a Tesla" "My other car is a Humvee" Paul you should get some stickers made!

2 questions , why did they make the vehicle so wide ? Was it better in terrain. Are you going to do a Hummer and Unimog shoot out ?

Same width as transport trucks to maintain same tracks in convoy to hide numbers (Some people say tanks but that doesn't really work if you look at the numbers), but mainly stability and storage requirements.

Great to see Paul and the HMMWV wearing matching outfits! 😂

Would love to see off-road review please!

It competes with the Toyota mega cruiser

I remember being a passenger in one when i was unfortunate enough to be in Darwin. I was actually excited because you see them in movies and on the news all the time (one symbol of American imperialism). Got in and I was so let down haha....basically a wider version of a LR110 haha. Stil cool that you have one though.

More used or retro reviews please!

Definitely would like to see it on an off road course

Enjoy and live the dream Paul cheers 🍻

Would love to see a vid of you picking up Alborz from the airport in this 🤣

Binh's car is very well camouflaged

For the price and the purpose of this vehicle, the amount of safety features are insanely inadequate. Even when you turn off the lights, I'm pretty sure your enemies cam hear you coming...

Thanks

Not sure if I missed it but what is the gearbox set up?

1:45 F60 MINI Countryman for scale

Does it have ISO fix?

Hey Paul, Do some off roading, interesting to see how it gos

An off road review? Dude we want you drive over some EV’s !!!! Merica!! F…. Yeah

Paul please review the GWM TANK 500

does it have lockers?

I wonder if this channel has already reviewed the 5-door Suzuki Jimny. It obviously bets on military-ish styling, if that's your cup of tea. (If you prefer coffee there's the Suzuki S-presso. 🤪)

Does it support wireless apple car play?

I would love for you to do a TOWING test with this thing

Do we want to see an off-road review....? Come on man, of course we do! And this time, the normal off-road course won't suffice, this needs to go out on legit tracks.

how did you get road legal in oz

How many litres was the fuel tank? No DB Stats or mini sine test? WHY?

This video has a consuming vibe of buyers remorse. “Do we want an off-road test?” What else would it possibly be useful for?

Any potential to do a Mazda 6 Atenza or 20th anniversary ?

IT'S WHISPER QUIET!!!

what is the exact curb weight of this humvee?

@7:10 cruise control?

What is the curb weight of this HUMVEE

When are you going to do a video on the tank 500

No competitors? What about the Toyota Mega Cruiser?

Should do a decent off road test not a light one. And take it as deep as it will go in the water too while ya at it.

Off road please. Love the truck

When will you be doing the tank 500 review

Yes off road. If possible more difficult off road tracks would be cool.

I was disappointed you didn’t do an off road, after all that’s what their for 😁

Quite surprised there's no wireless charging pad for your mobile phone...

Excellent review! I'm never buying one😂

The high temp is probably in part due to the poor slanted radiator design not getting good airflow.

Why do the rear wheels look off camber??

@CarExpertAus

Ай бұрын

They are cambered so the vehicle can take a massive payload. Often these are up armoured which adds an astronomical amount of weight.

At least if you go out to dinner and can’t finish all of your meal you can wrap your leftovers up in your windows

I want to see a Jimny kick its butt off road.

It looks like this humvee broke something else too! Check out your thumbnail…Your shirts glitching see through
