HUMVEE
Has anyone driven a US plated and registered military surplus HMVEE across the boarder into Baja?
If so any problems?

Driving over a boarder could bring problems....but crossing the border into Mexico is not a good idea with Covid.....
Is it essential travel?

Seems like I recall reading years ago that military type vehicles are not allowed, except for use by the military. The military uses humvees to combat
drug interdiction, and I had the impression that they don't want to have cartels posing as military. I am unable to verify that, and I don't want to
spread any misinformation. My suggestion is to research carefully before attempting to take a humvee to Mexico.

They stick closer to norms common in English-speaking world outside the US of A. But "boarder" is something new.

Maybe paint it so no camo shows and remove the machine gun?
Plenty of H1 Hummers been to Baja. Ken Bondy's nice red one comes to mind.
German Unimogs and Swiss Penzgauers (sp?) have been seen in Baja... I think those were military rigs originally?

I couldn't find the thread, but I remember this was discussed here before, but it was about a standard truck that had a camo paint job similar to some
military vehicles. It is something to consider!

I haul my M1102 (humvee) trailer in baja, still original desert tan, just replaced the wheels with more practical trailer rims/tires.
I would not try a military hummer if you have not repainted it and got rid of the overkill tires. They aren't very comfortable or economical compared
to late model 4x4s, why would you want to drive one?
Woke!

"Boarder" is probably the most misspelled word on Nomads.... when meaning "border".
Good intentions with poor execution.

Ranks right up there with...
Guerrero Negro [not: Guerro]
Los Barriles [not: Barilles]
Puertecitos [not: Puertocitos]
Alfonsina's [not: Alphonsina's]
San Quintín [not: Quentin]
Santo Tomás [not: Thomas]
Santa Rosalillita [not: Rosaliita]
and of course...
Rancho Santa Ynez or Inés* [not: Ynes, Inez, Innez, etc.] 
*The owners preferred 'Ynez' but Inés is correct Spanish and they don't fuss about which is right.

Peeps told you it might be a problem. You will only know if you try. Just do it.
If you still want to yak with the internet peanut gallery, then try asking on the steel soldier forum, that us where all the surplus vehicle nerds
hang out and chat....
Woke!
