The online sign-up numbers continue to grow! It's you guys getting it done now. Keep spreading the word. I'll definitely post up the next step when we get there.

NOW IS THE TIME! We've all bitched about DMV causing problems for years. Now is your chance to do something to fix that. Our bill has finally been introduced into the Legislature. It is now officially 2013 Senate Bill 110. We have a Senate Committee Hearing tentatively scheduled for April...

Great News! We picked up 26 cosponsors for our bill. The bill will now get introduced to committees. Remember this takes several steps, and we need your help at each step. To those of you who have helped so far; THANK YOU !!! (If you haven't, Why not?) I'll post info ASAP about what's needed...

Korndog & ALL, Tom and I completed our rounds at the Wis. Capitol this afternoon. We visited 130 legislative offices over two days. We fully appreciate those of you who have acted to contact your legislators already. The Co-Sponsorship drive will end Monday Mar. 25, 2013. If you haven't...

To All Wisconsin Owners: You should be aware that there are changes coming in Wisconsin statute which will effect your former military vehicle. Tom Zat (Alfa Heaven) and I have been working with WisDOT to address some ongoing problems. We have worked with Sen Grothman and have a bill drafted...

I'd second the suggestion of contacting your legislator/s. Sometimes, the reg. agcy. just dropped the ball, and a phone call from a Senator's office is all that's needed to get things moving again. Since you seem to be the only guy in IL reporting problems, I'd be inclined to think your...

Cliff, You guys are all most welcome. I sure didn't go looking for the fight, but it couldn't be ignored. When it came at me, it had to be fought. I had some great folks here helping me out (especially Tom Z. and Tom L.), and I couldn't have done it by myself. In the end, the milveh and...

You should be good to go in Maryland, at least the last I had heard. However, titling and registration are the responsibility of the individual state/s. I am the guy who fought WisDOT in court over their policy (read: mis-interpretation of the state statute) and got the Wis. statutes changed...

Guys, The plan is still on to begin meetings with DOT late this year to address the concerns with vehicles over 10,000 gvw. Understand that what is causing the problems currently are both Wis. state statute AND Federal laws. Wis. law [s. 341.10(6)] prohibits registration of vehicles w/o a...

FYI: The group is 1000 Friends of Wisconsin, and they claim to be "Promoting a Smarter Way to Grow". Former Madison mayor Dave Cieslewicz is the Vice President. Here's a link to their Transportation page.

Yup, my mistake there. Sorry. Here's a thread about a guy registering his: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/hmmwv/50117-registering-hmmwv-ca-5.html

It seems to me that since the civilian version of the Hummer met FMVSS for the year of mfg. (they had to by federal law), then it's likely possible to modify a military HMMWV to meet those same standards. (In the case of a vehicle being imported from another country, this modification is...

Many questions are best answered by referring to WisDOT's website: Here's where to find it: Applying for title and license plates - WisDOT I read this to say that you can legally operate the vehicle for the first two days without a license plate. This is probably best answered by your...

I'm having a hard time loading this info. PM sent.

T.Highway, So long as your truck meets the Hobbyist requirements, there are no longer any reasons it cannot be registered as such. Carry on! Cheers, Paul

First off, you're all very welcome. I really got into this fight to save my own green truck, but early on, this became a fight over principles. I'm only here now because it needs to be resolved. When it's all said and done, I'll fade away again. But please also remember that we all also...

VenomInjected, I'm not certain of the class you need to be in for your intended purposes, but in short, a pre-10/'69 former-military truck can be registered with the same registration options as any civilian model. Collector won't allow it to be used to haul a load. I've got my deuce...

I always think of the John Prine song when I think of crowbars: "Got a big ol' dog. A chrome crowbar. I keep that mother humper in the back seat of my car." Vitalon, They can be very loud at higher speeds, some trucks more than others. First thing I'd check is the seal on the doghouse...

If it's over 8,000 # GVW, you must display either regular plates or Temporary plates. See section 341 of Wis. Stats.

Not likely. The largest size commonly used (successfully) on a Pinz is 33". Any taller and it doesn't have the oomph to turn 'em. It's only about a 90 hp engine. But even unmodified with stock sized tires, a Pinz will blow you away with their capability off-road. It sort of takes a lot of...
