The SF-97 for your MTVR was marked for OFF-ROAD USE ONLY???MAdams,
Well, I did finally get my SF-97 and it is a nice looking document. I have received SF-97s for other vehicles and I like the look of the document, They did a nice job on it - very fancy. I made a color copy of mine and I think I will frame it.
So, I went to the Utah DMV to register my 7 Ton as an on road vehicle and it almost worked. I got a new gal that was not aware of the special things needed for these trucks but it still worked out OK. The only issue was emissions.
They had no problem registering it as a personal vehicle. No problem using it on the road, even though in small print it said that the government sold it as off road only. No problem with paying the taxes, I mean they accepted the CA taxes as paid so I did not need to pay taxes again. It cost me about $300 and that was a little but high because I needed to get a 2 week temp tag because they wanted me to get emissions tested. I showed them their own web site, Utah DMV, and how my truck was listed as an exception. I did not need emissions. BUT, they pushed back and said that their web site meant federal government owned military trucks. I countered by saying the the federal government does not register their trucks in Utah and so that made no sense. The exception was for private owned military trucks. Anyway, I lost and they told me to contact the county to get a letter that would grant me an exception for emissions testing. So I am going to try to get an exception from the county. If I can, then I never need an emissions test on my truck. In the mean time, I will also try to get an emission test done but I am afraid it will not pass because there is no emissions sticker on the truck plus this truck will not be in their computer so how could a place test it.
Thanks for your reply. I was referring to this in JonM934's thread: "even though in small print it said that the government sold it as off road only."My sf97 isn't marked off road only, but stupid CA wants over $2k to title. What a joke

Thanks, Jon.To clarify, I am not sure if my SF-97 was marked off road only but I received documents from the Marines that said the vehicle was for off road only. I can check my SF-97 tonight.
WHAT!!!! How did you do that? And why didn't you tell ME!I bailed on CA and registered my truck in MT. $440 and I did it all through the mail
