While there is mention of Expedition vehicle builders, there is scant mention in this thread of the private owners who in many cases have invested thousands into their former LMTV/FMTV rigs.
These individual owners who purchased a truck when it was perfectly legal to do so with the intent of on road personal use, stand to lose their entire investment!
From what I read here those vehicles are not included in the efforts to combat the CO law by those who own Historical Military Vehicles...
If we don't all stick together, and instead become "breed specific" then it's possible that CO law ends up with a revision that only allows Historical MV on the roads....
I for one would gladly donate to a GoFundMe if I KNOW that ALL MV's are being fought for. I may be in error, but that's not the vibe I'm picking up.
Knowing politicians, and the push our nation has experienced resulting in an anti-military attitude of the liberal faction, the move to ban these scary "assault trucks" from the highway will not stop with CO.
I experienced the division among dog owners 30 yrs ago when the anti-pitbull media coverage swept the nation. Owners of other breeds didn't think it affected them, so they stayed quiet.... then when insurance companies started calling out the Dobermans and Shepherds etc.. all of a sudden it was important. If they had all stuck together 30 yrs ago a lot of breed specific laws would never have passed.
This CO law is like that, it will eventually affect all states just like the laws against Pitbulls went nationwide.
So when we fight this, doing it as a united group of owners we stand a chance, if we divide into Historical, farm users, Expedition users, commercial users... we will not have the clout and while some may succeed, others will not.
So lets go for a united action - no matter where we live or the purpose of our MV!
