Where did you get it? What branch did it belong to? For what it's worth, mine was a USMC truck and my SF97 was clean--i.e., there is no "off road" stamp on it.

That’s good to hear! Mine’s a USMC truck coming from Yermo also. Looks very similar to yours. Hoping I don't have any issues with the motor

Thanks man! Really appreciate the info/pics. Very helpful! So I've been debating getting the sf97. I've gotten conflicting info on whether or not it has “for offroad use only” on it. If it doesn't that will be helpful but if it does I can't use it anyways. My Wife is an attorney so she's familiar with the process of titling a car by going through the courts and getting a dec action. This was our plan if it does have “for offroad use only” on it. Will probably be sweating it until it's finally titled. Thanks again for the info

Why don't you just pay the $150 and get a title with it.

Because everything I’ve read says that the title definitely comes with an off-road only stamp on it. Florida is very particular about titling these things. If it is titled with the off-road stamp it’s becomes a HUGE pain in the ass to get it street legal. But if I have a clean sf97 or just a plain old bill of sale I can get a court dec act to make the dmv issue a title/tag with little to no trouble.

You can just call GovPlanet and ask them. Don't rely on what you read on the internet. I used to live in FL. I inquired about an auction HMMWV at the DMV. The lady told me to just bring in the SF97. So I ask what happens if the short VIN comes back as a golf cart or something else. She then told me if it doesn't have a 17 digit VIN, I will have to take it to some place that does VIN checks in FL to make sure it is good. I called and that guy told me that he will not issue titles for HMMWV in FL.
When I moved to FL, I took my title from another state. A woman came outside and made sure the VIN tag matched the title I had in hand. I paid for the tag and registration and got the electronic title.

If you're worried about it, just hire Dirt Legal to get you an on-road Vermont or Utah tag/title/registration and either keep it or use it to transfer into your state. For various reasons, that is the route I went.

I like the wheels, at least there are not a bunch of fake bolts on it!

That was my thinking behind getting them. Also wanted 17s with stock offset.

Thats incorrect,I get all my trucks with title, GP issues a clean Utah title, it’s not off road, nor were my ITV Growlers.
only DLA Army trucks have Off Hwy only restriction, USMC does not have the restrictio.

Thanks RWH! That’s great to hear. That will make life easier. I was worried that if I requested a title and it came with “off-road only” it wouldn’t be very easy to undo it. I’ve had one gp employee tell me it would come with “off-road only” on it and one tell me it wouldn’t so it didn’t give me a whole lot of faith in what they were telling me. Good to hear from people that have actually gone through the process. Thanks again!

What truck did you buy?

Thanks. I was deadset on these wheels and did not consider any others. In case interested, here is a picture Steve sent me with the stock wheel/tire on the rear and the new wheel/tire on the front.

This is great. Sweet!
I’m going to steal your idea and do the same on my 2009 M1165A1
Thanks for sharing
