CUSTOM-COMMISSIONED TACTICAL ASSETS
The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) is the definitive icon of American ruggedness. At KAUFMAN & KAUFMAN, we partner with Badass Trucks to transform these legendary military platforms into bespoke, high-performance vehicles that balance raw tactical power with modern engineering.
Whether you are seeking a meticulously restored military-spec HMMWV or a fully modernized "Street-Legal" conversion, our Badass Trucks fabrication team delivers an asset built to outlast the terrain.
THE ACQUISITION PROCESS
We provide two distinct paths to ownership:
-
Bespoke Commission: Select a base chassis and work directly with our Humvee Concierge to specify every upgrade—from powertrain swaps to custom interior armor and leather.
-
Ready-to-Ship Portfolio: Select a vehicle from our current inventory of pre-configured, high-grade assets, available for immediate enclosed delivery.
ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE
Our builds focus on the "Three Pillars of the HMMWV Platform":
-
The Powertrain Apex: We specialize in the 6.5L and 6.6L V8 Diesel platforms. Every engine is professionally vetted for compression and thermal efficiency. For those seeking modern reliability, ask about our high-output transmission and cooling system upgrades.
-
The "Amphibious" Chassis: Featuring 16 inches of ground clearance and a specialized aluminum-alloy body, these vehicles are naturally corrosion-resistant. Our fabrication team can further enhance the chassis with underbody protection and central tire inflation systems (CTIS) for seamless transitions between sand, snow, and rock.
-
Tactical Configurations: We source and restore all primary variants, including M998 Cargo/Troop Carriers, M1025 Armament Carriers, and the ultra-rare H1 Civilian specimens.
INTERIOR REFINEMENT & PROTECTION
While the exterior remains battle-hardened, the interior is where Badass Trucks sets the market standard.
-
Luxury Conversions: We offer full "H1-Style" interior upgrades, including sound-deadening insulation, climate control integration, premium leather seating, and high-fidelity audio systems.
-
Ballistic Options: For security-focused acquisitions, we offer enhanced protection levels, including ballistic glass and reinforced door panels, without compromising the vehicle's center of gravity.
INVESTMENT CHARACTERISTICS & PROVENANCE
In the 2026 market, the "Hard Asset" value of a Humvee is driven by Authenticity and Technical Grade. * Verified Service History: We prioritize vehicles with documented military provenance, ensuring your asset carries a piece of history.
-
The "Badass Trucks" Seal: Every vehicle undergoes a 120-point industrial inspection. We don't just "flip" trucks; we re-engineer them for high-performance longevity.

Mechanical Certification: Every powertrain and drivetrain component has been vetted to ensure it meets our performance standards.
-
Fabrication Excellence: Any structural modifications or bespoke additions have been executed with industrial-grade precision.
-
Archive Entry: Each badged truck is entered into our Master Registry, providing you with a documented history that secures the asset's future resale value.
