it likely will not be considered unconstitutional to block use of vehicles a bureaucrat deems does not fit into "existing/past" DOT or EPA standards.

agreed.... did that long ago when this was first posted.

@Carmancraig, @Ohiobenz and others... Suing is way way too risky. Courts will have no problem making a blanket decision for all MV's based on one Military vehicle type not meeting either EPA or a required DOT safety feature for year it was manufactured. (example Duck Boats, A1R's of various...

Anything on CO...... updates?

and a similar ball has rolled to another state... to I'm sure know one's surprise, the ball took a bounce right to CA

Any updates?

follow up with letter and email. Lot on their plate at the event (pardon the pun) and liably went home without a recording put into their brain cells of the conversation you had with them.

any updates from this meeting?

actually.... there is a manufacturer that does NOT use a tether...... uses accelerometers and other sensors. Teather types are are more cost effective. Not been tested in a vehicle though.... but that is another topic

Most trucks the size of military FMTV, Deuces and larger are exempt from safety air bags. not relevant side note.... but you bring up a good point... I might explore using motorcycle airbag vest. I wear similar on my motorcycle anyway....

with today's modern technology all it would take is a technology wiz to add such vehicles as you describe into a states database so they get flagged as not "street" title-able without changes that meet FED standards signed off by xyz agency.

MO is making it massively difficult now too. Was pointed out by another person that for a long while you could NOT register all (or some?) military rigs in CO. The legislation; that just got rewrote to disallow them, is what originally (for a few years at least) ... allowed them to be...

Several Expedition truck builders in CO use ex-military trucks for the base. So do guys doing their own builds..

Rob Pickering and Jay Couch should be part of that meeting. They both build Expedition trucks based at times on ex-military vehicles. Also Awesomeness and BuiltMFG in here whom are both building a personal Expedition trucks based on an LMTV.

For now...... see below post and hold your horses. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?187598-Colorado-Bill-SB19-054-RE-(Former)-Military-Vehicle-Motor-Vehicle-Regulation&p=2223719&viewfull=1#post2223719

appears this is only about Title and registration of military vehicles by CO owners. If you have plates from different state your fine as you drive thru

There are two expedition truck builders this effects in CO. Base truck they build on is often Unimog 1300 ex-military. Also o FMTV's

delete .. duplicate.. appologies

Looks like if your driving thru your fine.... it is if your living in CO and want to register/title your vehicle that is the issue.... if your intentions is for parades only... your fine.... its the commercial users, the expedition truck builders (self made and professional) and just folk that...

need to get this one line defined. "A surplus military vehicle is treated as an off-highway vehicle for the purposes of on-road use and off-road use."
