    Tire wear question

    Thanks for the link, I' check it out tonight when I get home. I don't believe I have an alignment issue, could be wrong. I just find it weird that both rear tires don't wear down at the same rate. I will take the it into an alignment shop and see what they say.

    Tire wear question

    Have any of you experience more tire wear on the left side rear than the right side rear? If so, were you able to resolve it? I have found on my M998 that it loves eating left rear tires faster than any of the other 3 corners. I am running the standard 37x12.5x16.5 surplus tires, the run flat...

    Looking for FMTV owners in Maryland

    You can also go to the Maryland State Police with a VIN verification form and ownership documents to prove ownership. The MSP will sign off thus allowing you to have the vehicle inspected. 17 digit Vin or not Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Tapatalk

    Looking for FMTV owners in Maryland

    The 17th digit Vin for the state inspection system is Hokie at best. Off subject I have a home built trailer with a Maryland assigned Vin which consists of MD is the first two characters and six additional characters after. Had to get the trailer inspected with no issues on the 17 digit Vin...

    Looking for FMTV owners in Maryland

    Tom, my understanding is that they can be inspected at a commercial truck inspection station and can be titled in Maryland.

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    Hate to say it, a "Warning" is something that is stored on an internal database that law enforcement officers have access to. The next you are pulled over, the officer can run your tag, see that you have been "Warned" then they could proceed with issuing a citation based on an incorrect...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    In regards to the Republic, here in Maryland your "Warning" or actual "Citation" is stored in an internal police database for a period of time. That being said, had the trooper given me a warning for the actual violation of hauling a trailer, this would not be an issue. One uneducated or...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    I am aware that I was violating the law hauling a trailer, not the point. Do you speed, thus you break the law. Regardless, there are 1st degree and 2nd degree offenses. Is hauling trailer with historic tags in the State of Maryland a 1st degree or 2nd degree offense. If it is a 2nd degree...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    I have already spoken to who I need to and was informed on what I needed to do to beat the 3 charges, down side, they are only warnings. Should said trooper do it again, I will ask for an actual citation so I can request a hearing. At that point, whether I have a lawyer or not, I can beat all...

    Maryland tags,title,registration

    Unless you have a Maryland State Trooper who gets a hard on seeing what type of citation he can issue you for driving your Historic Vehicle. My truck sits at the house, in clear view of the A$$ to see every day he drives by my house, he lives just up the road a mile of two. I take it out "for...

    Looking for FMTV owners in Maryland

    I'm looking at acquiring an M1088A1. I have some questions in regards to getting the truck inspected, titled and registered in Maryland. It is a 2001, so Historic tags will not be an option. Any help from fellow Marylanders would be greatly appreciated.

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    Military contract vehicles are exempt from meeting FVMSS but are required to meet MIL-STD-1180B which takes into consideration FVMSS. Lights, heck, some people with Daytime running lights don't know how to turn on their normal lights. I see it every morning I commute to work. I have offered...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    I've offered to my elected official to get educated, grow a set, lets all go down and educate them. If you are referring to the State Trooper who doesn't know what General Daily Use is versus Occasional Use is then we are all screwed.

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    I don't know how many law enforcement officers I have driven by that have waved, nodded there heads in approval etc in the Communist State of Maryland. I don't know how many countless law enforcement officers I have passed and done nothing but let me pass in peace while driving my M998 in...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    In regards to a court hearing, that would only happen if said Trooper pulls me over gives me the same 3 violations that he warned me for. The Trooper needs to be educated on the differences of General Daily Transportation and limited personal use, which is allowed. The officers in the Maryland...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    AOR, with true respect for all of us in the State, there needs to be a positive change. If we all live under rocks, stuff will never change in our favor. Honestly, if I could afford to move out, I would. I would buy a home in PA, put my truck through their enhanced inspection, and drive my...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    My OP, he is jealous, doesn't have anything better to do. On a 2nd note to the above traffic stop. Just prior to the traffic stop, the said Trooper was in front of my vehicle driving at the legal speed limit, pulled over to the shoulder for me to pass. At which point I pass him legally, for...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    Update, got pulled over by a MSP, issued a warning with 3 violations for pulling an empty trailer in my M998. Not sure if this tropper his a stick up his hind side. What blows my mind is the MSP Barracks in Hagerstown have a HHMWV with a Maryland issued State Tropper tag. If MSP Automotive...

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    Looks like Virginia is becoming more like Maryland everyday. Its too **** bad that I live in Maryland. I know that I will not be moving back to Virginia. It sounds like uneducated law makers passing laws that don't understand that Military vehicles were built to comply with FMVSS, unless FMVSS...
