when the hummer replaced all the 1/4 tons (jeeps) where did they go? i havent seen a flood of them in the surplus market. what does the govt do with discarded vehicles? i loved those things!

Many probably got sent to our little Third World "friends".
We used to have a junkyard here that had a lot of military surplus stuff. They had piles of M151 MUTT frames and bodies, all rusting away.

I was told that they weren't "Street Legal" and couldn't be sold on the civilian market as surplus because of the inherent liability

I drove a Mule off ship loaded with ammo when we arrived in Lebnon....It was fun to drive thoses things.

well they were street legal but couldnt be driven on highways unless in a convoy due to their max speed being 50 mph. i see a few here on the street but they are not good on the highway.

they have a highway rollover factor that keeps the bulk of them from being out right sold. DRO rules say the stripped body/chassis be cut in quarters. some bid winners, will take it all back to the shop and put it all back together.

personally i always like the M-37 3/4 ton slow, but a tough, truck.

Where I hunt it is pretty level ground, but a lighter vehicle with more clearance than my Tahoe would be great, and if I was to restore it I could use it in the July 4 parade!!
