I don't think gp cares as long as they're making a boat load of money.
Shady is registering it in another state that you don't reside in. Which is what this thread implied.

Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Any info on states issuing titles for hmmwvs?

If your home state says they won’t accept a humvee for reg then it is what it is. If your home state will accept one for reg as long as it comes to them from a private sale already registered then that would be the way to go.

This thread started by me was primarily to get us talking about states that will issue license plates and any that won't
I've had a few people ask me about mine and what the laws were on it
I think it's nice to have some dialogue about who can and cannot easily tag one for road use

Eye of fhe beholder, I guess. I didn't think it was implied.

Insurance companies know what they are insuring. They don't willy nilly insure things.....

If not mentioned previously, Kentucky is HMMWV friendly. Real easy checklist and inspection fee.

No problem in Georgia. I bought one titled in Florida but not registered. Sailed right through Ga DMV without issues. Issued me a tag and transferred the title to GA same day.

Funny you say that cuz my agent usually shops me around this time of year to get the best rate and my current insurer is the only one who with insure it. No one else would touch it. Needless to say I will be sticking with them and have my other vehicles insured with another company.

Interesting.
Personally I would want to reward that company by giving them the other vehicles as well, even if higher $.
By the same token, if i had to go to another company for my MV's, I'd move everything there including the house.
The message I want to send is "being MV friendly brings you collateral business" and "if you don't want my MVs, you don't want any of my other business either".

Apparently NE DMV is now saying no to all MV's, and has stated they plan to revoke titles -

Totally agree here, I have everything but life with the same company (and only reason i don't have life with them is they don't have return of premium life policies). I don't understand why anyone would buy a regular term policy when return of premium does the same exact thing +returns all your premiums if you out live the policy. They do me right, doesn't matter to me if it's a little more cost.

edit---removed....I got off topic of titles
Re Insuance, I was with Indiana Farm Bureau for 30 years and had my 817 (liability) insured at about $320/yr. I sold that truck and now have an M929A2. They wanted $800 recently and my house and commercial auto was way up.
I ended up changing my house from them, saving $600 with better coverage, changing our cars, saving $400/half and although Allstate doesn't insure the military trucks, the agent used Progressive and my (personal use not commercial) rate is now $280/yr.

I think in this state it depends on who you get at the counter and what mood they are in. I licensed my Humvee without issue same as any other ranch pickup on the road in January. I have a friend who has bought, titled and licensed 2 deuce and a half trucks in the last couple months without issue and we have a 5 ton dump truck we got last fall and had no issues getting it titled and plated. Nebraska doesn’t require any form of emissions testing so EPA# on the motor doesn’t matter. We have never been asked for a DOT# either. I would guess the type of plate you run may change the DOT part. We run ranch plates on everything with the highest load rating available and never had an issue.

It certainly does appear that many states aren't pleased with military vehicles on the highway
As far as insuring them I use the lizard and they have aren't really friendly to my rates with reference to my hmmwv
I can only assume it's a lack of data driving up my rates

So do you think if you brought documents from GP that showed a Humvee was sold as "off-road use only" they would insure it for on-road use?
I remember when that was a taboo issue. I advocated for peeps here at SS to take a proactive approach but was informed the owners didn't want to because it brings up the issue, is omission lying? or fraud.
Well maybe there was open discussion in some states faced with legislation they were unprepared for and people had hard feelings and were banned because of that issue titling them.
There may be a place with a more united front on a national scale, but I don't know of one.
The designation of "off road only" is simply untrue. I went through the plant while they were building them and these are every bit a multi purpose vehicle that is expected to do equally well on-road as it does off road. NONE of the military specifications that this vehicle was built to designated it as "Off-Road-Only"....it was and is a "Multi-Purpose Vehicle" that performs on road and off, well.
NOw lets go for the issue that the governments are really only selling PARTS of vehicles. 90% clearly are not safe or road worthy as sold. At a minimum, the owner or a qualified person should certify the vehicle has been made to meet current highway standards as an assembled vehicle and in some states inspected..."CUCV ASSEMBLED" status title of MV. Just sayin...

I agree 2 thirds of the HUMVEEs sold needed to be fixed in order for them to be road worthy, as with the 5ts, CUCVs. If the vehicles were required to be brought up to current standards it would become cost prohibited.

The Designation of Off road use only for the Humvee was a political decision by DLA. If you noticed the Marine Corps HUMVEEs don't have that designation. To insure vehicle couldn't be transferred under various program to local agencies and Museums. That being said. The big issue is lack of doing your homework. If your state requires an SF97 for a GovPlant purchase like Florida requires, then that's what you get. Not a Montana title, or bill of sale.
