There was some noise a few months ago about .gov (EPA specifically) blocking 1033 Program transfers of MRAPs and other multi-fueled diesel vehicles, because being able to burn everything from JP7 to camel piss means no emissions controls.
I don't know how that ended, tho.
They backed off (for now). I own a multifuel M35. No emissions.
What do they do with that in Rehoboth, chase runaway cows?
Any more details on that? I thought they had to be shredded if sold to civilians?
Doesn't matter, why should they get them and we can't? Remove the bullshit "de-mil only" stipulations on HMMWV auctions and sell them to the general public.
Believe me, you don't want one. You have no idea how badly you don't want one.
Eating lunch at 99's in Fairhaven and see this?
Seriously, are the cows gettin restless out there?
There was a dartmouth "special ops" vehicle and also lakeville amd seekonk cruiser. Im guessing something to do with SEMLECright down the street from my house...so why are they 30 miles away from Rehoboth in Funtown?...i'm sure there is a 99 a little closer to home
The cost of shipping an MRAP back to the US and fixing it up runs the Pentagon about $250,000 to $300,000 per vehicle.
I wonder if they know you can just unscrew the antenna and remove it.

Werent MRAPs specifically designed to be used in heavily mined areas? Is something going on down on the south coast we should know about?
Whoa... this is confusing/surprising. Of all of Massachusetts, the city/town that has received the most military surplus is....Rehoboth?!? Since 2012 they have received $865,247 in surplus military equipment. A big city like Lowell? $3,450

You will lose. Plus you owe us moneyIn case dighton attacks! Rehoboth strong!
Joyriding looking cool.right down the street from my house...so why are they 30 miles away from Rehoboth in Funtown?...i'm sure there is a 99 a little closer to home
I've seen plenty of HMMWVs leave a DRMO on flatbeds going to civilian agencies and even private sale.....never heard anything about emissions being an issue......the engine on a HMMWV is just a 6.2 diesel made by gm and used in all the civilian c/k gm trucks in the 80's and 90s. Newer models of HMMWV have a 6.5 liter turbo but the old shit cans they are getting rid of all have the older 6.2 gm diesel......which you could operate with no problem if you owned an 80s or early 90s gmc truck with that motor in it.
Guys......bear in mind I'm not a proponent of civilian PDs haveing mraps........I am a proponent of facts. Just letting you know that the HMMWV pictured has absolutely no more tactical advantage than a jeep. Its fiberglass......there is no need to "fear the beast". It just seems like people see HMMWV and immediately think it is some badass tactical machine. The older ones are not up armored.....and other than a pretty good off road capability they are uncomfortable........slow as ****.......have the turning radius of USS Ronald Reagan......are loud......leak like a sive in the rain...........and have absolutely no side or rear visability in traffic. Can't you tell how much I like HMMWVs!
+1 to you sir. Cant figure out how to send reps via tapatalkIn case dighton attacks! Rehoboth strong!
