Hey Chief!
I don't know about rust with them, they were fairly new in the system when I
worked on them from 86-94, I think they rust-proofed them fairly well,
though. The earlier models definately had some issues with bad bolts and
such, though, like the ones that mounted the generator on the engine block.
I'd try to get a more recent model if possible.

I'm thinking about buying myself a HUMVEE. What is your opinion of them?
Were the first ones more prone to rust in the frame area more than the later
models?
