We have the two HMMWV's sitting (well, 1 HMMWV and 1 Hummer) in the parking deck with the desert tan and cages on the roof for stowage of their broadcast media gear. Supposedly one is streetable again, the other has some issues with it's title as it's a Military HMMWV but it was purchased over in Kuwait (Akbar's Offroad?). The winch mounted on the front of the Hummer is a joke. The holes for the mount were cut with a torch, badly and it's practically hanging in the mount. The towing shackles are also bodged on rather badly.
