Great thread! I already saw this on the M939 Facebook group (I'm actually 'friends' with you on there) but this definitely gave me an idea for if I have to do this on a M923 I have a line on...I shouldn't, but this could be adaptable to other models/trucks as well.
I would definitely try to register it for on-road use, so that you don't have any issues later with NOT being able to register it, or it being hard to re-sell someday because it doesn't have a title/plates. While I can definitely imagine using one of these off-road only, as either an offroad...
Nah, I just remember seeing one or two for like 2000 bucks, congrats! You in HI or having it shipped back to the mainland? For that price if I was in HI I'd have bid. I'd love a M936A1. I'd drive it everywhere.

Welcome, CARMAN! I can sympathize with your feeling of terrified euphoria, I have a verbal agreement on a M923. They really are a living thing, even with a gender, many people name them. They have personality many other vehicles lack, it's like man's second best friend besides the...

Buffalobwana, someone I know has a similarly bad story of falling (I think it was a misstep from a stepladder to the bed) from the tailgate of his M923A1, I think broke a collar bone or tore a rotator cup. That said it didn't discourage him one bit.
Mos68X, those pix were really informative to me as someone who wants a long-wheelbase/bed version myself, how well they do off-road. Not bad seeing your profile photo. When I get myself an M927 or M928 I'd definitely still hit the trails.
