Who Are Miami Military Trucks?
Military trucks are among the most popular off-highway vehicles we help bring to the street, and it’s easy to see why. With a consistent supply of surplus vehicles released by the military, enthusiasts have access to a wide range of models and an abundance of spare parts.
Miami Military Trucks has been sourcing and transforming these surplus vehicles for over twenty years—restoring them to their former glory or turning them into impressive custom builds, like their wildly stretched Humvee that’s equal parts outrageous and awesome.
Beyond the builds, Miami Military Trucks actively uses their fleet for nonprofit events and community outreach, making them a natural partner for Dirt Legal.
Why Military Vehicles Are Gaining Popularity
Surplus Army trucks have always had a strong following. While it’s hard to say if they’re more popular now than in the past, one thing is clear—demand remains high enough to make them both a viable passion project and a profitable venture, if that’s your goal.
And honestly, why wouldn’t they be?
These machines were built to withstand some of the harshest conditions on Earth. Throw anything less than a battlefield at them, and they’ll barely flinch—just shrug it off and keep going.
How Did Miami Military Trucks Get Started, and Who Are They?
Miami Military Trucks is a nonprofit military vehicle restoration group based in Miami, Florida. For over two decades, they’ve been buying, restoring, and selling a wide variety of military vehicles—including Humvees, 5-tons, LMTVs, and more. With a deep knowledge of these machines and a true passion for preservation, their team takes on everything from full restorations to custom modifications based on each buyer’s vision.
Beyond the shop, Miami Military Trucks plays an active role in the local community. Their impressive fleet frequently appears at parades, charity events, and veteran outreach programs across South Florida. In fact, we first connected with their team at Cars and Coffee Miami, where their trucks—and their mission—made a lasting impression.
We’re proud to be part of the vibrant South Florida automotive scene, and during a recent Cars & Coffee Miami event, a full lineup of military trucks immediately caught our attention—LMTVs, 5-ton beasts, and of course, Humvees. Naturally, we had to stop and learn more.
As it turns out, the owner of the fleet, Brian, is a Dirt Legal customer. Small world. Like many others, Brian discovered just how complex it can be to get a surplus military vehicle properly titled and registered. Thankfully, our services helped streamline the process and get several of his trucks road-ready.
Miami Military Trucks is more than just a restoration group—it’s a family-run operation with deep roots in the community.
Their Instagram feed is filled with photos that highlight their hands-on builds and strong family involvement. And really, what’s cooler than growing up with your parents driving you around Miami in a soft-top MIL-SPEC Humvee?
With the steady availability of military surplus vehicles on platforms like GovPlanet, Craigslist, and Facebook Marketplace, this niche community is only growing—and Dirt Legal is here to help you join it.
Whether you’re after a bone-stock Humvee for grocery runs (and turning heads in the process) or planning a full-blown LMTV or FMTV overlanding build, we’ll help you get it tagged and on the road.
