Any 2-piece rim I have owned has had a DOT: Military Use stamp on it anyways, which means they are technically not DOT certified for civilian use. The whole truck was sold to a civilian though and it doesn't have 5 MPH bumpers or a padded dash or air-bags or whatever, so it's all a little gray.

Yeah, they are fun to move around. ;) I always used a ramp to get them back in the mount on my 923A2. I would roll it up the ramp into the back of my pick-up truck and then up the ramp from my pick-up to the mount. Getting it out, I just rolled it from the mount to the ground. Just don't let...
With the features you mentioned, you could crew-cab a 911 HET or add a OTR sleeper to the back of it. Of course, that project would require a large stack of $$$ too! A bunch just went off on GL for around $20k.
