The DMV would argue that the Federal Government said it was not worthy for road use, and they are the authority. If you have any questions, contact the NHTSA. <-- that's essentially what the letter I was forwarded says. It's not just little Timmy with a Honda Civic saying so.

Responses in green above. I'm not sure if you WERE directing it at me... but it seemed like you were. :)

Yes, my truck was purchased directly from GovPlanet. No Hold Harmless Agreement was ever signed at all, and if they had tried to get me to sign one that said off road use only I would have scratched that part out and signed it. If that was not allowed, I would have not taken the truck. Every...

I don't disagree with what you're saying. What I was told is that they were getting ready to send letters out and start the process of revoking plates, they were still in the phase of drawing up the letters. The reason I responded to you is because I value this site and the people on it...

That isn't a full description of the problem, but I'm aware that the DMV starts with that assumption that it IS the problem. If at the beginning of this, before I had bid, if they had said "Humvees are defined as Off Road Use Only regardless of what stamp is on the SF97", then I'd disagree...

The state of VA is defining it as an "Off Road Vehicle" as defined by VA Code by using the "Off Road Use Only" restriction on the auctions as their precedent. They are claiming "see, the government said it was an off road vehicle!"... So where does that logic leave them with my M1123? Since...

How many people do I have to contact at the DMV to feel comfortable I can spend my hard earned money on a vehicle like this? At what point should they share the burden of their incompetence? Again, the Virginia DMV's titling supervisor told me they were in the process of revoking Humvee...

My post is in no way intended to be disrespectful or written with any type of emotion towards you... But my opinion is that DMVs who are acting outside of their authority SHOULD be sued. In my short life, I've already been screwed over by the DMV 3 times (this Humvee being the third). Every...

I'm going to refrain from commenting on this thread until my situation is resolved here in VA. But I'll be following this.

Those brackets on mine are only on the rear hubs. When I tried to find what they actually were, it looked like they were the rear attachment points for airlifting. Obviously, they're not on the front due to the airlift hooks sticking out of the hood. Not a bad idea to use them as a sort of...

The Director of Vehicle Services is the lady that I spoke to at the beginning of the month. On Feb 15, she e-mailed me and said that they were working with their legal team and would have a response very soon. I asked if she could give me any indication on which way it is leaning. She said it...

At the moment, I get right at 12 in my 4L80E doing city/highway mix, and 12.6 doing 60 on a highway. Just a 2 door with troop benches.

Got the new switch in, installing it still didn't have it positioned correctly. I ended up having to add two washers as shims on the bolts closest to the firewall and one washer on the other. The washer was placed between the switch's flange and the mounting flange. This basically moved it...

When someone asks "How many MPG does it get?" in a demeaning way, I usually give a smarta** answer like "Some of them".

Ha! I made sure about 27 times that the lights were in fact on. I'm guessing it is an internal issue like the contacts are not making solid enough contact to transfer full amperage. Replacement switch was ordered from Kascar, hopefully it shows up tomorrow and I can get it installed for the...

My wife drove the M1123 for the first time today, which means I got to follow this truck for the first time today. Let me just state the obvious and say WOW it's a cool looking truck. It's funny how much different they look when they're actually on the road. Also, she loved driving it. What...

So dealing with "Out of Round"... what would the allowable out of round condition be? I can find no reference in the manuals.

^ that. Mine had RB 2009 tags on the engine and transmission. In 2009, my vehicle had 21 miles on it according to the IROAN (Inspect and Repair Only As Necessary) plate. The tires are also date coded as 2009. It also has inspection tags on the geared hubs that are blank as far as date and...

After reading the link provided above to that thread where you sung their praises, I ordered a set of 4. /high five

Makes sense. I didn't realize there was runflat grease involved. I'm used to putting things in the tires that I change that reduces stickiness (like talcum powder inside a tubed motorcycle tire).
