    EUC denied......?

    I had one returned for making corrections. but never a denial. But really, you would have to admit to reselling the vehicle to Bin Laden in order to be refused. Rick

    MA HMMWV owners - RMV question

    I brought a few older, out of state trucks and one imported vehicle into MA. I found it useful to visit the RMV in advance. The folks in the New Bedford office were helpful, and my registrations went easily. I went in with the attitude of not asking IF, but rather HOW to get it done. I put all...

    Question about importing vehicle into US, specifically engine change.

    Question about importing vehicle into US, specifically engine change.

    My importation experience is that you can bring in any combination of older vehicle and and engine you desire. It's when and where you title and register the vehicle that causes the scrutiny that you are concerned about. The last two vehicles I brought in were over 25 years old. They both had...

    It's home and the rebuild can start

    I second that. Your replacement cab will prolly give you plenty of repair time. That cab is toast. Or swiss cheese. Rick

    Official 2018 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally info thread. Oct. 17-21, 2018

    Thanks for the heads up! I need a few bits for my truck and while I want to do business with the small guys (Jtonka, White Owl, and so on), I'm more than happy to give Memphis some of my dollars. I'll be sure to mention the rally, and I hope to be there next year. Rick

    HMMWV Export Question

    From the information you have provided, yes, you can export the vehicle to Germany. My recommendation: 1st: Figure out what port you want to export from, (I use Wilmington Delaware) or another main port with connection to the specific destination port 2nd: Look online for the port authority...

    M216 Cdn Australian restoration

    Naw, don't worry about ramblin' on there Ken, I (we) appreciate good stories and info about how it is with vehicles down under. Was the truck ever registered for road use? And can you research the vehicle history via public records? I would be interesting to know more about that old rig! Rick

    M216 Cdn Australian restoration

    Hiya Ken, From the first photo, it looks like the truck was properly converted for road use in Aus. Are you intending to convert it back to LHD? If so, why? Rick

    having an issue understanding the TM
