When a person purchases a CUCV that has not been altered at all, its original military form is there anything that has to be done to the CUCV itself to make it street legal or is it already considered street legal. Like do seatbelts and airbags have to be added or more lighting and things like that.

It depends on the the state. in Texas you just have to put plates on. The back one is a pain in the back end. it also depends on the condition of the vehicle. But they have all the lights and seat belts that are on the civi version just a few extra.

HA I would like to see someone add a air bag. That would be a good trick.

In some of the old moonshine states, that switch that cut off the brake lights will at least make LEO look harder. Don't know if there is a law but I'll bet this is one somewhere. Wayne

You will probably have to put a light on the rear plate

Around here the cops like to follow you around and see if you are doing anything illegal. Plate light must be high on the list because I've been pulled over for it in 3 different vehicles.

Maybe it's just my cohorts and I.
