    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    I can't think of a way to quantify prices there. It's interesting to note, the places that are restricting hmmwvs and other military vehicles aren't referencing the HHA and the off road stamp. They're restricting them all. And the places that are allowing on road use are also not paying any...

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    I'll take that bet... Condition - compare average selling price for all GP auction hmmwv's for the 2017 year, compared to average selling price for all GP auction hmmwv's for 2018. We'll define "decrease greatly" as 20% or more difference in across the board ending bid for all variants of...

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    You'd be able to get the restricted MV plate, which allows for limited on-road use. Or maybe anything... we have yet to see how it'll actually be implemented. Want to be the test case?

    Not good for California MV owners or buyers

    Except that that paragraph states that the government remains the lien holder.

    Not good for California MV owners or buyers

    It mentions hmmwvs specifially . It mentions the vehicles used by agencies, where the government retains ownership. It also mentions the surplus civvy vehicles. 5ton trucks, deuces, etc, are conspicuous in their absence. There's plenty of people with 5tons registered as historic vehicles in...

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    As written, it's ambiguous as to what will actually happen during implementation. My best guess says some people will have no problem getting unrestricted plates for everything including the off road stamped hmmwvs, while other people won't be able to get plates for their deuce or 5ton. It's...

    Oklahoma Bill Introduced to Create Titling for HUMVEES

    In other words, the original assertion that hmmwvs aren't eligible to be titled in OK is wrong...

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    "My car is on display every time I drive it" sounds unreasonable to you, because it works in favor of the individual. However, the state's position is "your cat is on display every time it's out of the house on a leash" seems perfectly reasonable to them, when they want me to have an...

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    I wouldn't count on it. If you were a left leaning judge, who wanted all those big scary green trucks off the road, how would you interpret this - "The provisions of this section shall apply to all owners of military surplus motor vehicles registered with the Department under any other...

    Oklahoma Bill Introduced to Create Titling for HUMVEES

    According to the first post, currently hmmwv's can't be titled at all in OK. I have no idea whether that's accurate or not. This reads like it was crafted with the intent to create a path to lightly restricted on road use where no path currently exists. Unlike the VA bill, this one limits...

    Oil Change on Reset motor

    My guess says your engine has 573hrs on it and probably still has the break in oil. The tag on the engine says the engine was installed when the meter read 2.5hrs. The meter now reads 575. I'd change the oil and go from there.

    Oklahoma Bill Introduced to Create Titling for HUMVEES

    Been there, done that. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?145463-Distracted-Driving Edit to add - Consider how this would impact the out of state MV enthusiasts attending the KAMO rally. They have hmmwv''s with unrestricted use plates. They plan to drive them on the interstate to...

    Yes, but.... Consider - it got a lot more attention here than the other one did. Would you have even looked at the other one if I hadn't nudged you with a text?

    Oklahoma Bill Introduced to Create Titling for HUMVEES

    Consider - I can drive 55mph in the right lane of the interstate, and there's plenty of room to get around me. I am not creating an impedance. Or prohibit me from the interstate and now I'm on a one lane hwy with traffic stacking up behind me and passing unsafely. Of course I'll pull over at...

    More pics of the mounts themselves... note they line up with existing frame holes on the truck side.

    M931A2 bed questions

    I cut down cargo beds and mount to M931A2's. The way I do it is that I bolt the truck side mounts to existing holes in the truck frame. Then I place the bed in position. I then weld the mounts to the bed. This leaves the truck original, while all the mods are done to the bed, allowing for...

    Did the supply of M101A2s and 3s dry up??

    The difference is frequently that private owners have "improved" them by means of hacking up the wiring and related "upgrades".... (Of course there are exceptions)
