You can try compressing them further so they grab onto the metal they're installed in a little better. If you don't want to spend the money on a full size rivnut tool (which I recommend, very handy!), you can just get a manual rivnut tool that's good for doing ones or twos (just find the size...

Really? That would be pretty surprising hear since LEDs are more shock and vibration resistant than halogens and HIDs. You sure they aren't just moving away from the original "composite" style LEDs with multiple emitters and towards some of the newer styles out there like the Trucklites, JW...

Just a vendor on eBay. They had both versions.

Bingo! Sounds exactly like my experience with the Ohio BMV. And they will do so with the utmost confidence in what they are saying. You should have asked them if you could swap it onto "the thicker" H1 frame and then videoed their heads exploding. :mrgreen: With my experience, none of the...

And that's for the top by itself? Wow! I paid $200 shipped for a new, white top I had to paint green and thought that was a real steal! May be time to go shopping soon and relegate the painted white top to the spare parts pile... You didn't happen to catch a price on 4 new camo doors did you...

This is certainly the crux of the matter. My opinion, supported by documentation with opinion straight from the NHTSA (which essentially carries the weight of law, like the ATF with their firearms opinion letters), shows that the whole off road only mandate is completely hollow from the get-go...

I really liked your plate mount when I saw it but I just had zero patience to hunt down one of the mounts when I got my plate. :mrgreen: I was considering possibly mounting it the opposite direction so it would swing out of the way if you dragged it over anything off road.

:deadhorse:

I linked to it when I posted it before but here it is again: http://isearch.nhtsa.gov/gm/94/nht94-1.78.html It and other supporting documentation can be found in the PDF that cwc posted on page 12.

So are you advocating for an all out ban on civilian owned military surplus vehicles on the road since none of them meet FMVSS? In any event since you glossed over it earlier. This is the official position of the NHTSA on the exemption of all military vehicles and their subsequent exemption to...

And has already been pointed out to you in this thread multiple times, HMMWVs, like all military vehicles are exempt from FMVSS. You seem to be trying to stir the pot for some reason.

Sorry you feel that way. It's very sad it happened but I thought it was a rather poignant point of order considering what the poster of the comment owns.

Do any of the vehicles in your signature have said equipment and test certifications? 3-car Crash Kills St. George Man Driving Surplus Military Truck (And yes, I know the victim was a member here. RIP :() ETA: And since you edited to add the link to FMVSS, we've already established in this...

My setup is pretty simple. I drilled and tapped the bumper for threads directly since it is substantially thick enough. Made a bracket out of some sheet metal for the LED plate light that bolts behind the license plate. There are some spacers behind the plate and light bracket so it clears the...

A couple points were already addressed by Behr. First, if I have a legally issued state license plate, has my vehicle not been deemed by the issuing state to ostensibly be safe enough to operate on public roads equal to any other plated vehicle? Also as mentioned, how would the suing lawyer...

Just like every other MV, they don't need to be. That's been the position of the NHTSA: https://isearch.nhtsa.gov/gm/94/nht94-1.78.html By way of background, I would like to discuss how military vehicles manufactured in the United States are treated under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle...

Does a Polaris RZR meet FMVSS or EPA on road emissions standards? What about a Yamaha or CanAm quad? Were they sold with the intent for them to be operated on road? Yet, here we are... The fact is many states have a 100% legal and above board process whereby an off road vehicle can be...

:shock: The Third World, where's there's generally no translation for the word "safety". :mrgreen:

Probably Iraqi or Kurdish trucks being used against ISIS. They can get um... "Creative"... Some pics of trucks from the retaking of Mosul from back in October.

If you feel like a trip to North Carolina or can get someone to pick them up for you, Southern Metals is selling Hawkers for $75 each.
