Update: heard back from the DMV main office at Richmond. They say that since the shipping weight says 65,000 pounds I need to register this as a motor carrier. WTF? Anyway, I prompted the call center agent if I could provide some evidence that this was incorrect , like a weigh station station...

Just got done with the second DMV and unfortunately, I don’t have a success story to report. That said these guys are a little more open minded than the previous one. They pointed out the discrepancy between the SF 97 and the title, reassignment addresses rather than rejecting it. They scanned...

Thanks for the inputs Bulldogger! I’m at the line at sterling DMV. It’s 405 and I did a walk in. Keeping fingers crossed. If I run into the same experience then I’ll just pay the $200 and get the title. I wish I knew that getting the title directly was easier. It feels like I got the sf97 for...

All, I am hoping someone can offer some good tips or advise as I’m drawing a blank. Here’s my situation: - I finally received the SF97 and a title reissue supplement from Govplanet. - took it to one of the DMVs here in VA… the clerk at the counter was confused and it looks like it was her first...

Things had been extremely busy, so never got a chance to come back and update. Everything went well. I wanted to give a huge shoutout to Eric from @unitedstatesoffreight . He made my whole shipping experience so effortless and prompt. Highly recommend him to any one new out who is in search of a...

Hi Eric, thank you for reaching out. I’ll connect with you, -Abin

Hi All, My EUC got approved got much faster than I thought it would (18 working days, and first time buyer). So now I need to quickly arrange for transportation from Yermo facility and dropped it off at NoVA. I have setup the VeriTread already, and evaluating the transport quotes... however, I...

M1165 Auction - 2/12/25 EUC Filed - 2/18/25 EUC Approved - 3/14/25 I'm surprised it got approved this fast. First time buyer. I now need to figure out transportation to VA

Yup, I plan to do all the fluids as the first maintenance. Depending on how the transmission fluid looks, I may hold off on that for later. I know the truck is coming without batteries. I am probably going to just have the transporter roll it off the ramp, and then winch it on to my drive way...

Never mind my question on the drain plug. I found out after additional searching that some of these models came with sealed drain pans. If anyone has experience swapping these, please let me know if this is a moderately easy task, or if there are any quirks to this process which makes it a P...

Thank you Bulldogger!! I had joined one of the HMMWV groups... will search for the NOVA one. I've so many questions for NoVA folks :)

Thank you! I appreciate that info. I've been trying to learn as much watching YouTube for the last week or so :). I did download the TM just last night... was one of the first things I did after my login got activated! Great point about the fluid levels... I'll be arranging for transport. I was...

Greetings everyone! I've always dreamt of owning a Humvee and it's finally going to happen. Got myself an M1165 from GovPlanet, and waiting for the EUC now. I know it runs, but it looks a little rough, and not sure what all I'll have to do to fix her up. I've owned a few Jeep wranglers and...
