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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Your radio system is set-up to be a VRC-47 and this would consist of a RT-524 Transceiver and a R-442 Receiver to be mounted in that rack to the right of the transceiver. Each would be connected to their own antenna mount, you are set-up with two antennas on the vehicle so you are setting good..
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 :)
@@dodiloiAnd how long will that last??? According to a British video I watched many years ago, Ford allegedly designs their engines to last “200,000 miles”.That’s 320,000 kilometres and is therefore full of shit.
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.
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!
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.
I do want to point out that your rear camber is a bit aggressive because there's no weight in the back. you should have it adjusted if you're not going to be putting a load constantly in the back because it can actually wear out the CVs and then later the differential.
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. 🤪)
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.
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...

This review is so funny with Paul screaming in the cabin to explain the features 🤣
Do the toughest off-roading you can find
So sick Paul.

Cheers mate.
High beam on the floor used to be the norm.
My old EK Holden and VJ Valiant. They had 3 pedals though so an extra foot was sometimes desirable! 🤣
My HT Holden had a high beam foot switch it never let me down.
True, I had forgotten that.
We have a HG brougham in the workshop and the high beam switch is on the floor
you probably have to be around 60 to remember that.
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.
Definately want to see an offroad review!
I got to say this is the best overview of the Humvee how everything works🎉
I am eagerly waiting for the reverse speed test of this, Paul 😂😂
the fact this weighs less than a lot of full size suvs and a ford ranger raptor just boggles the mind
No doors. No roof. No sound deadening. Basic interior. Makes sense to me.
Can't have something too heavy for the parachute when they get kicked out the back of a plane. Or to get picked up by a chopper.
Also, most of the body is constructed out of aluminum but the chassis is steel however.
Also narrower than the raptors as well (F150 and Bronco)
Good on ya Paul.. you truly really are a car guy ..👍

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

00:01 Much better than the original title Paul gets a Hummer then smashed boxes!
Mark mate the excitement in your voice reviewing this car,im happy for you bro
Definitely love to see some 4wding and off roading. Even some more difficult places, those portal axles are the business!

I'm sure most ppl wouldn't mind watching for another 15mins for that.
We would need more than 15 minutes for the 0-100 test.
@@CarExpertAus Hahahah
@@CarExpertAussounds like a race with a Jimny is required.
@@CarExpertAus 🤣🤣🤣
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 ;)
Fantastic and fun review, Paul
"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!
0:50 Paul, don’t be shy and continue playing that music 😂
Next video idea.....do a reaction video when you park the Humvee outside Yarra City Council?
THanks for sharing. I must say that I would like to see this tested on something other than your "light off road course". Cheers
remember my boss purchased a Porsche off Lindsday Fox and he had one near identical there in the showroom ,what a beast
Happy to see you’re enjoying your investment
Hey guys, more reviews/videos like this on random vehicles like this would be super cool to break up the new car reviews. love what your doing cheers
offroad vid thanks :)
I drive Hummer H2. You are my Aussie hero

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!
Binh's car is very well camouflaged

It really is an art that America can get so little horsepower from such big engines.
But they last😅.
Tell that to the focus 1.0 liter 150 hp

@@dodiloithe 1.0L was developed by Ford of Europe in Dagenham, England
HP/L is a meaningless metric.
Wheres the ambient lighting, and you didnt demonstrate the launch control
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.
Excellent! Thanks for sharing Paul! 🙌
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 ?
Probably for stability and storage. Extra crew, equipment etc. As for stability, you don't want one of these tipping over at speed on rough terrain.
@@KuroRyuu86 thankyou
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.
@@TVR161 ahh yes , maybe one design idea as well as storage was to keep the same path as trucks , less likely to hit a mine . Thank you

Awesome stuff!
Please do one over big dunes i bet it would eat them!
Handy for school runs
Especially if your kid goes to Military School.
Interesting to see it off road😊
Would love to see off-road review please!
Been waiting for this since you acquired it 😂
Great to see Paul and the HMMWV wearing matching outfits! 😂
Loved this!
Thank you Paul!!
No competitors? What about the Toyota Mega Cruiser?
Thanks for the look
Awesome Joy, thank you.
Not sure if I missed it but what is the gearbox set up?
I would love for you to do a TOWING test with this thing
Definitely would like to see it on an off road course

Love the HUMVEE and still love your watch mate. 😂
Hey Paul, Do some off roading, interesting to see how it gos
When will you be doing the tank 500 review
More used or retro reviews please!
How many litres was the fuel tank?
No DB Stats or mini sine test? WHY?
Would love to see a vid of you picking up Alborz from the airport in this 🤣
When are you going to do a video on the tank 500
I do want to point out that your rear camber is a bit aggressive because there's no weight in the back.
you should have it adjusted if you're not going to be putting a load constantly in the back because it can actually wear out the CVs and then later the differential.
Any potential to do a Mazda 6 Atenza or 20th anniversary ?
Paul please review the GWM TANK 500
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. 🤪)
It competes with the Toyota mega cruiser
how did you get road legal in oz
Good one 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Do a off road review of your humvee on Monday
@7:10 cruise control?
Quite surprised there's no wireless charging pad for your mobile phone...
What is the curb weight of this HUMVEE
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.
"My other car is a Tesla"
"My other car is a Humvee"
Paul you should get some stickers made!
Needs a drift test
what is the exact curb weight of this humvee?
Enjoy and live the dream Paul cheers 🍻
Does it support wireless apple car play?
The high temp is probably in part due to the poor slanted radiator design not getting good airflow.
Nice truck
does it have lockers?
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.
1:45 F60 MINI Countryman for scale
Why do the rear wheels look off camber??
They are cambered so the vehicle can take a massive payload. Often these are up armoured which adds an astronomical amount of weight.
When is the Ioniq 5 n review coming?
Very soon, stay tuned!
Excellent review! I'm never buying one😂
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 😁
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...
HMMWV versus Mahindra video?
IT'S WHISPER QUIET!!!
Would this be street legal?
You should do an LS swap
