A Historic Day for the Humvee Community
Mark your calendar. Clear your schedule. On Saturday, June 6, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, the 1st Annual North Texas Military Vehicle Expo will make history as the first-ever large-scale gathering dedicated exclusively to HMMWV (High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle) owners and enthusiasts in the entire North Texas region. This isn't just another car show — it's the launch of a movement.
The HMMWV, affectionately known as the Humvee, has served as the backbone of American military mobility for decades. From the deserts of the Middle East to the muddy trails of rural America, these machines have earned their legendary status through sheer durability and unstoppable performance. Now, the civilian Humvee community in Texas is growing faster than ever, and this expo is the answer to years of enthusiasts asking, "When are we all going to get together?"
The answer is now. Just A Hummer, LLC, G I Bros and Big Gunz Apparel have joined forces to create an event that celebrates not only the vehicles themselves, but the people who keep them running, restore them to glory, and push them to their limits on and off the road. Whether you drive an M998, an M1097a2, an M1151 or a SOCOM M1165 GMV, you belong here.

The Main Event:
Humvee Show, Swap Meet & Gathering
At the heart of the expo is the Humvee Show, Swap Meet and General Gathering — a jaw-dropping display of over 50 HMMWVs and Humvees (with that number growing by the week). This is your chance to see an incredible range of vehicles up close and personal, from bone-stock military surplus rigs still wearing their original NATO green to fully built-out custom machines with lifted suspensions, aftermarket armor, LED light bars, and weekend-warrior trail modifications.
Owners will have their vehicles staged throughout the venue, and many will be on-hand to share the stories behind their builds. How did they acquire their Humvee? What modifications have they made? What challenges have they conquered? These conversations are what make a gathering like this truly special — it's not just about looking at trucks, it's about connecting with the people who pour their time, money, and passion into keeping these machines alive and thriving on American roads and trails.
Expect to see a wide variety of HMMWV variants represented, including the classic M998 cargo/troop carrier, the M1097a2 heavy variant, armored up-armored models, ambulance configurations, and even rare variants such as the GMV's that most people have never seen outside of a military base.
Full Day of Activities & Events
The 1st Annual North Texas Military Vehicle Expo isn't a "show up and stare" kind of event — it's a full-day immersive experience packed with activities designed to educate, entertain, and bring the community together. From the moment the gates open at 9:00 AM until the final vehicles roll out at 5:00 PM, there's always something happening.
The day kicks off with vehicle check-in and staging as Humvees from across the region roll into the Fort Worth Car and Toy Museum. Once the show floor is set, attendees can explore at their own pace while the schedule of classes and demonstrations unfolds throughout the morning and afternoon.

Learn from the Experts: Classes & Workshops
One of the most valuable aspects of the 1st Annual North Texas Military Vehicle Expo is the educational programming. Whether you just bought your first surplus HMMWV and don't know where to start, or you're a seasoned wrench-turner looking to expand your skillset, the classes offered at this expo are designed for every experience level.
The Humvee is a unique platform. It's not your average pickup truck — these vehicles have specialized systems that require specific knowledge to maintain and repair properly. The "Smart Box and TCM, the 6.5L naturally aspirated and turbo diesel engines, the unique geared hub reduction axles, the 24-volt electrical systems and the military-grade drivetrain components all demand a different approach than civilian vehicles.
That's why the expo is bringing in experienced Humvee mechanics, builders, and specialists to lead hands-on workshops and informational sessions throughout the day. Topics will include:
- Smart Box and TCM — one of the most common issues for new owners
- 6.5L diesel engine maintenance — keeping your powerplant healthy for years to come
- Glow plug systems and cold start procedures — essential for reliable operation
- Brake system overhaul — understanding the unique Humvee braking system
- Electrical system basics — navigating the 24-volt military wiring
- Common modifications and upgrades — what works, what doesn't, and what to avoid
- Title, registration, and legal compliance — navigating Texas regulations for surplus military vehicles
🔧 Pro Tip: Bring a notebook and your specific questions! The class instructors are real-world Humvee experts who deal with these vehicles daily and are happy to help troubleshoot your individual issues.
Eat, Drink & Celebrate: Food, Whiskey & Cigars
An epic event deserves epic fuel, and the 1st Annual North Texas Military Vehicle Expo delivers with a curated lineup of food trucks and a premium whiskey and cigar tent that will keep you energized and enjoying yourself all day long. This isn't just a car show — it's a celebration of community, and every great celebration needs great food and drink.
