So we learned several things here - 1) This action is certainly prompted by people registering hmmwv's. 2) The state of LA can't differentiate a 6x6 2 1/2 ton truck from a 4x4 hmmwv. 3) The senator in question prefers to remain anonymous.

But this speaks to my comment earlier about the SF-97's. What if the amended bill passes, you get a matching title, but then Idaho DOT refuses registration because you don't have a copy of the SF-97? (I know that's not your intent, but as I read it, that's what the amendment could be...

I had a guy try to run tubes on the bolt together 5ton combat rims. It didn't work well - they were always getting perforated. While the tires can be run with or without tubes, the 2 piece bolt together wheels are not designed to be used with tubes. I realize a 5ton rim and an A3 deuce rim...

Push rod or connecting rod? Thanks for the follow up by the way.

You'd think that the law would set the inspection standards and the state police would have to adhere to those standards, applying the same rules to everything evenly. As it appears to be written, the inspection standards can be arbitrarily applied unevenly by the state police, failing your...

Is inspection a recurring event? Or is it just once when you first title it?

It looks like it is designed to get all the big scary green trucks off the road, Edited again because i decided i said too much that might lead to a thread derail...

That looks like it grandfathers in current owners with their current usage intact. Am I missing something?

Do you like manual transmissions? I like the truck tractors for their shorter wheelbase. It's trivial to swap out the 5th wheel for a shortened 9-12' cargo bed...

I don't think they have it confused with a hmmwv. I think this is a case where the left leaning nannystate wants to rid the roads of all the big scary green trucks. Let's just hope it doesn't metastasize and spread. ..

"Proving contractually-required compliance with FMVSS-equivalent requirements has already been done. The MIL-STD-1180-B document has already been accepted by a Wis. court as demonstrating that FMVSS and the MIL-STD requirements are the same. Other courts would typically consider this prior...

So then if you've already got plates and already passed inspection you're grandfathered in?

Suggestion - Instead of forcing a positive interpretation of somewhat grey policy, why not just lobby for black letter law stating that military surplus vehicles, to include hmmwvs, are eligible to be licensed for normal use? A black letter law won't be subject to later reinterpretation by...

Just a shot in the dark. .. this?

Many states don't have a residency requirement for titling and registration.

The NHTSA will not be your ally in this. Although you're correct in your assertion that the FMVSS is the limit as far as what states my set as the requirements, the states may apply the FMVSS to any vehicles as a condition of registration. The opinion of the NHTSA legal counsel is that the...

VA laws only apply in VA thankfully

"All owners of all surplus military vehicles" Edit to clarify - E. The provisions of this section shall apply to all owners of military surplus motor vehicles registered with the Department under any other provision of this Code prior to July 1, 2018. Such owners shall, based on a schedule and...

The wheel swap to dualled 11.00's should work. I've used one on a 1082 trailer. I wouldn't try to make the bed into a dump. The bed itself would probably be ok, but the sides are fragile. I'd replace the whole thing with a dump bed. (I had a guy trying to buy the bed off my m1082 for use as a...

according to the state police, no sticker = no normal plates. They did not indicate that they'd make exceptions for vehicles where stickers were removed. This is going to be a nightmare to enforce.
