I have seen the m998s / HMMWV for auction from the military. I was told (hear-say) that they cannot be played and made street legal. Is this correct? I have been pondering one of these for a DD, but obviously not one that cannot get plates. Thanks!

Love the gear swap idea. I am wondering, would the three axle FMTV allow for the gear swap as well? IE would I simply order three sets, and it should go, or does the middle axle with its drive shaft coming in from the top ruin this for me? Would LOVE LOVE LOVE To go 75 mph! Thanks
