How about perception on the part of buyers when you go to sell a MV? Has anybody found that painting with "house paint" gets a bad reaction? Seems that painting with "real military CARC" would be a selling point. I have used tan Behr and like the look and ease of application, also the SW...

The bill status is now Senate Rules "X" file, which mean it is "no longer eligible for consideration". Does anyone know what happened? Was it the issue mentioned above about the WWII vehicle owners being in opposition?

I picked up a M1045A2 in Albany on Monday. Here is a picture of the loader forks under the frame, in case anyone is interested. The forks were long enough that there was nearly a foot between the side of the HMMWV and the loader, but I have seen GP loaders with shorter forks such that the...

I have had nine non-running HMMWVs loaded by GP with a loader, and no problems. The loaders that I have seen at Bragg, Richmond, Saraland AL, Albany, etc. are very capable machines, and in each case the GP rep ran it like a pro. The drivetrain of a HMMWV is above the bottom of the frame. I...

I just got notice of EUC approval for a slantback in Albany so I'll be scheduling that run, and will plan to bring the sign. Sent from my E6910 using Tapatalk

HB710 in the last session was focused on HMMWVs. Any new legislation should be written to clear up the problem for all MVs. There is plenty of useful information in the threads in the "politics" forum from the issues in Virginia, Michigan, Washington State, etc., and also the success stories...

How about a picture showing how it came apart? Is it possible to weld it back together? Sent from my E6910 using Tapatalk

JEB - please let everyone know how the Senate Transportation Committee hearing goes, especially if there are objections that need to be addressed prior to the Committee vote. The Wisconsin precedent in accepting MIL-STD-1180B as equivalent to FMVSS is very important. This equivalency is also...

The definition of "Military Surplus Vehicle" in SB 5417 is very similar to the definition in the new KY law, so much so that it appears to have used the KY law as a basis. Regarding "federally mandated requirements set forth in 49 C.F.R. Sec. 571.7", it would be more proper to call this section...

The bill is SB 5417. It is on the agenda for the Senate Transportation Committee public hearing. On the Washington State Legislature homepage (leg.wa.gov), select 1/28/2019 in the "Scheduled hearings and floor sessions" dropdown, then scroll down to Transportation (S). There is a link to the...

There was a case in Wisconsin in which a court found that the MIL STD is effectively equivalent to the FMVSS. As has been noted in this forum, it is hard to find on the internet, but here it is: Also HMMWVs were exempt from the FMVSS but were not exempt from other provisions of the FMVSA...

Quoting myself, that's got to be a bad sign... Anyway, the M1045A2 from Albany, sale date 8/29/18, had the EUC approved today, so 4.5 months. For my part, it is just as well since I have had a lot of business travel lately and am just now getting free to go get it. Still, the uncertainty about...

Sale last Wednesday of August and the EUC is not back yet. Sent from my E6910 using Tapatalk

Here is 186.0435, which applies if the vehicle is registered historic: It needs to be a KY plate, or a reproduction of one. You could get one made:

Hi Lazboytt, Some HMMWVs have GM engines with labels that say they comply with EPA standards for the year of manufacture, so if someone were to make a statement that HMMWVs "are not street legal due to not being manufactured to US E.P.A. emissions standards", that is not true for all HMMWVs...

Scar59 is correct, there is no provision in KY law that allows you to operate the vehicle without a plate, or use stencils in place of a plate. If the vehicle is registered as historic, then you can use a KY plate that is at least 25 years old, as long as you carry the registration and plate in...

TOBASH, I understand you are moving on from 2WD, but I did find the idea interesting and somebody may want to do it, e.g. for smokey burnouts or whatever. Something that could be part of the package is a driveshaft disconnect like used for towing a vehicle. Search: Remco drive shaft disconnect...
