The MIL-STD-1180-B describes the vehicles included as tired (not tracked) up to and including 5-ton variants, so it applies to a deuce. It gives the equivalent FMVSS for each MIL-STD. http://everyspec.com/MIL-STD/MIL-STD-1100-1299/MIL-STD-1180B_22183/ The court case acknowledged the...

IMHO, you're wrong and right. (But you know how opinions are...) Being exempted from a requirement is not the same as meeting the requirement. You would be correct in stating that it meets all applicable requirements, but you still haven't proven that it meets all of the requirements. But...

Commofreq, Do us all a favor and google AAMVA and "best practices". Organized effort? Draw your own conclusions. What goes on in one state absolutely effects what happens in other states. This may even have begun here in Wis. At one time, the DMV Administrator, Lynne Judd, was also the...

To All, Please be advised that there are in fact TWO bills currently before the Idaho legislature. As previously mentioned, House Bill-506 would allow civilians to register former military vehicles. You guys should be supporting HB-506. ***** WARNING *****: There is another Idaho bill...

I must also express concern over this argument. FMVSS-Compliant means it met FMVSS requirements when it was manufactured. FMVSS-Exempted means it was not required to meet FMVSS when it was manufactured. Your argument seems to be that the vehicle is FMVSS-Compliant because it met all the...

Yup, it's House Bill 506: https://legislature.idaho.gov/wp-content/uploads/sessioninfo/2018/legislation/H0506.pdf Follow the progress here: https://legislature.idaho.gov/sessioninfo/2018/legislation/H0506/ :goodjob: All you guys (and gals) in Idaho, PHONE your representatives and urge them...

Yup. That's right about reciprocity. So if your state outlaws Humvees, an out-of-state owner could legally drive his Humvee in your state, but a tax-paying citizen voter cannot. That dog don't hunt. One more item to consider. If you have a valid US state title, any other US state should...

donkren, As I've written before, state's control registration of motor vehicles. They do this according to that state's laws, because that's what they're authorized to do. If a state imposes a restriction through it's laws, then that DMV has the authority to deny registration. Yes, the...

Eastern Empire, You never know. Here in Wisconsin, Humvees are specifically listed as being eligible for registration (and lifetime registration at that!), which wasn't always the case. This allows me be guardedly optimistic. You are correct about recently issued SF-97 forms having been...

TJ, Email sent with the MIL-STD-1180B and Wis. DOA Case# TR-11-0016. Please let me know if you have trouble receiving it. Paul

Paragraph 4: "Vehicles of this type that are titled in another state may also be titled and registered in Idaho." I'd interpret that to mean that a vehicle coming into Idaho with a valid out-of-state title would be able to be titled and registered in idaho.

A title only shows ownership, and it can be branded with restrictions. A while ago, I called GP and asked about the titles they offered, in regard to a certain smallish U.S. vehicle (which shall remain unnamed). I was told that titles could be obtained for some vehicles which were only sold...

Yeah, that was my read on it too. A couple comments on this: In the case of a newly imported former military vehicle, the first DOT office to issue a US state title should request the importation documents that show that the vehicle was legally imported. (Once the initial U.S. state title...

I'll toss out a few facts that are applicable. The "25-year FMVSS exemption" DOES pertain to all vehicles, not just gray-market (imported) vehicles. It is codified in Title 49 Transportation Subtitle VI Part A Chapter 301 Section 30112 [Title 49 30112] and reads: "(b) Nonapplication. - This...

Maybe older than 1967? The Certification Label requirement first took effect in 1969, so if he's concerned about vehicles that don't have the FMVSS-compliance certification labels then he's mistaken on the dates. FYI: FMVSS came about as a result of the National Traffic and Highway Safety Act...

Thanks, and you're welcome. But Tom's the true genius behind the show, and his wife Dale gets second credit. I'm just glad to be helping them out. Thanks to all of you who came, because it's not really a party until people show up! I can't wait until next year! Paul

It used to be real easy finding people who disliked our DOT, but it's getting harder and harder... :) Word arrived today that the cost to register for the Wisconsin Historic Military Vehicle (HMV) License Plate has now dropped to $5. Nope, that's not a misprint. After the sale of the...

Glad to hear you'll be there. I (and others, I'm sure) talked to Tom about a lot of details. He's mostly focused on making this a safe and successful show, with an accent on SAFE. He plans to meet with a lot of the participants during the show to discuss their wishes and look for ways to make...

Evldoer, Please pre-register, or at least get there early. According to Major Tom at Motorama: NO SHOW VEHICLES WILL BE ALLOWED TO MOVE AFTER 8AM (DURING THE SHOW)! He's not trying to be an ass, liability insurance prevents it. If you arrive after 8am you will only be allowed to park in the...

Surplusyes, Agreed, Iola was a terrific show, and it's too bad it went away due to insurance issues. That's why it's great to have the Motorama show taking it's place, even if there will be a few differences from Iola. To make this new show happen, Tom had to address a few liability...
