I still have questions in my mind about what if your vehicle isn't necessarily recognized as just a military vehicle? My first truck is an M715, there are more on the road in civilain attire than military drab, what about various Blazers, Dodge garden variety vehicles that came from uncle Sam...

For myself every time I have a brake master cylinder go bad and it leaks onto any paint it sure makes it bubble up and come off the surface. (I kinda felt a tug on my trouser leg).

Here's something that surfaced from the depths of my old and crowded memory bank along the lines of this topic. Many moons ago while I was a military advisor to the Navy SeaBees, I was at the SeaBee museum and they had an M151 inside all decked in it's Vietnam glory with a huge "are you kidding...

"Please fairy godmother have him post the info. for the sending unit and correct gauge when he fixes his so I don't have to do any research of my own when I go to fix mine"....if it weren't for everyone else's hard work on their rigs on this site and me using their information I would have two...

Also if you are towing it home with something other than a military vehicle and NOT using the military lights that are mounted on the trailer, BE SURE to tie up the trailer wiring plug in so it doesn't fall to the ground and get ground off against the pavement. 1 minute of safety wiring that...

I just thought that maybe since you just bought another one you might be in a buying mood and get another one. As far as taking care of extra gear and parts I'm from the government, I'm here to help!

You can keep your spare parts at my place, my Goat will keep the rust off of them for you. Near Colorado Springs here, north of Pueblo. Also last week I think there was another one for sale in western Colorado...you could tow it with you....just being helpful here.

For many years, U.S. Marine Corps vehicles have been painted Marine Corps Green, also known as Marine Corps Green #23. The "Number 23" is derived from the Navy's Bureau of Yards and Docks' list of colors. Officially there is no exact equivalent of Marine Corps Green in civilian Federal Standard...

In the for what it's worth category I've been anxiously watching this thread to see where it ends up at. There are so many other types of vehicles that this could be twisted into effecting. I spent 30 years as a Colorado Sate Trooper here enforcing our MV laws, DOR regulations and the like. If...

I don't know right off who the new boss is at DOR, they all changed when the Dems took control of the whole state after the last election. It is DOR's interpretation and implementation of the law that is the issue. They have sent guidance to all the county clerks in the state as to the current...

Greetings and welcome to the site and also to the People's Republic of Colorado.

I'm going to get a list of all the legislators in my area and after much editing and removing all the bad words, start making phone calls to their offices and send letters asking "what the heck"? I'm also thinking about contacting groups that may have a vested interest in this issue like the...

FIRE MISSION !!! Being an artillery guy I didn't know how else to break the silence and break into any conversations. On my earlier post I made the mistake of "assuming" that the bureaucrats in Denver would abide by the new law as written and intended and that our historical military vehicles...

Somewhere we had another thread going on this topic a while back. Here's my take on this new legislation.It all started with a farm implement company in SE Colorado that buys / sells surplus military vehicles for agricultural usage and modifications to them for that purpose. The bill defines...

Overview: Legislation (SB19-054) has been introduced to allow for the titling and registration of former military vehicles. Currently, former military vehicles are not allowed to be registered or titled for on-road use in the state. The bill passed the Senate and currently awaits consideration...

Here is what my 2 cents is on this. I'm a Colorado resident and saw this first proposed as pending legislation here saying surplus military vehicles would be exempt from safety inspections and engine emissions testing. I looked into it more and found it was started as a result of some law...

Here's an opportunity for me to utilize my "mature years".....when I went in towards the end of Vietnam, we wore the green sateens satteside and green jungles in the field and bush, steel pots and everything painted green. We still had recoilless rifles, the Ontos was like a little tank with 6...

Somewhere out there a third world country has a couple warehouses full of ammo for these babies.....I gotta check my lottery ticket!

I have had a couple of M416's over the years for "civilian purposes" and it is perfect for me to pull with a Jeep. I put and end gate in my current one so I can haul roacks and it will easily carry 1 yard or @ a ton and half of rocks, dirt, whatever. Much more than that and it gets a little...

Greetings fellow"super bazooka" owner. There were some of these still around when I joined the Marines, also flame throwers (one more thing I need and the wife doesn't concur). The rounds came 3 to in a wooden crate and the individual rounds were inside of the usual black cardboard tar tubes...
