    GOVPLANET/USMC latest EUC times?

    I was told to create the title they first have to get the SF97, then they turn that in a title. I was quoted a minimum of 90 business days after item pickup. I pretty much call and bug them every week or two and the story never gets better. Just what I've been told. I hope yours comes much...

    HMMWV NXT 360 is SICK!

    Any specs? Curious what engine and trans? Are they using an air suspension now or still coil springs? Although I'm not fond of the ridiculously low hanging bumper on the olive drab one, I do like the 'boat sides'.

    That's awesome the EUC process is going so fast! Now if only the SF97 / Title process would follow suit...

    Wiper motor wiring / contact assembly

    For me, lightly prying the contacts to stand proud of the grommet did the trick.

    GOVPLANET/USMC latest EUC times?

    I dont have the exact answer to your question, but your local DMV has the ability to assign a VIN to your vehicle. Im sure each differs on what they consider justification for assigning one, but regardless, this new vin is nothing more than a unique identifier. No relation to the manufacturer...

    GOVPLANET/USMC latest EUC times?

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I did go to the DMV to discuss this and was told as long as my title does not say 'for off-road use only' I'll be ok. Gov planet has assured me the title will not say this, whenever I do actually receive it. In the mean time I am pursuing getting a 17 digit vin...

    GOVPLANET/USMC latest EUC times?

    Have you been bugging them? I also ordered a notarized bill of sale. I was told it would ship to me in just a couple days from my order. 3 weeks later, nothing. I've called a couple times about it. Today I called and was disconnected twice, transferred 4 times, then finally spoke to a nice...

    GOVPLANET/USMC latest EUC times?

    Well, now I learning the EUC is the easy part. Turns out the real wait is for the Title/SF-97. I'm super anxious to try and get this thing registered (m1123), but keep getting told to expect 90 business days from the day of pickup (interesting that it's not the day of EUC approval). So, they...

    Electric hmmwv

    I seriously looked into an electric conversion for my CJ7. Not so much because I want electric power (I quite like a big healthy v8), but because I fear about long term fuel cost and access given the heavy gov push to electrification. The approximate cost with a used tesla motor and...

    HMMWV's

    It does seem to be trending higher. Last week there was some good deals if you're willing to get one needing a little love. Although I got mine already, I can't help but watch the auctions. Mine might need a friend.

    How Slow is a 6.5 NA HMMWV Really?

    After putting 60 or so miles on it, I have to say, I'm very pleasantly surprised by the 6.5 NA. No, it's definitely not fast, but it has not nearly as bad as I thought it might be. Guess I set my expectations nice and low. No problem getting up to speed and is plenty peppy off-road, even all...

    CO Insuring HMMWV NEWER than 20 years

    I was finally able to get insurance through progressive. Kind of pricey, but at least I'm 1 step closer to being able to drive this thing on the road.

    CO Insuring HMMWV NEWER than 20 years

    I actually got as far as getting id cards from farmers, but hagerty kicked it back when it went through their underwriting. I suspect the same thing would happen with an online quote, but maybe not. Yours is so close to 20 years i bet they let it slide.

    CO Insuring HMMWV NEWER than 20 years

    No. I called and worked with an agent. Then when i tried to go with Farmers they also tried to set me up with Hagerty with the same result.

    Good luck. Let me know if it works out with Hagerty!

    CO Insuring HMMWV NEWER than 20 years

    What year HMMV are you looking to insure? I tried with Hagerty but was denied for being too new.

    CO Insuring HMMWV NEWER than 20 years

    Hey guys, Looks like there's a few decent insurance options for HMMWV's, but everyone I've found requires the vehicle to be at least 20 years old (Hagerty, USAA, Nationwide, JC Taylor....). Any other companies I should try to get insurance on a newer model? My M1123 is a 2008.

    Arizona Registration Follies: SF97 Fail

    I just don't understand the push back on registering these vehicles. I have no problem with them saying we have to ensure they meet a reasonable safety standard, but I'm confident my hmmwv is FAR safer and more roadworthy than my CJ7 and of course I have no problem registering that and driving...

    Sorry to hear about your troubles. Please keep us updated. I'm just waiting for the pain I know is coming when I try to register my m1123 here in CO.
