Nice truck and welcome to the madness.
Looks like you made a very important safety upgrade to have all matching rims with radials all the same size! Those 8 bolt bias tires are very old.
Welcome to the club! Truck looks very nice!
I see you have the a/c unit in the back? Can you post more pictures of the unit and how it is mounted as I am thinking of doing the same.
maybe the clamp and tape act like a bump stop so it can't be pulled off easily. Acts like a sliding mechanical lock. The hmmwv locking brake handles can be easily found. I have seen them range from $50-$100
That gizmo was the intern solution to the non locking parking brake. Not sure of tape or hose clamp?
I bumped my parking brake installing radio trays. Truck rolled backwards even here in flat land. Minor scrape on wife's suv bumper. Very easy to knock forward.

My thoughts are that the low air pressures originally recommended are not realistic for city/highway. These tires need to be going down the highway at a min of 30psi + with loads at least 35psi+. The lower pressure makes for more heat with flexing and not good things happen.
If tires are not...
My guess would be how fast omv can implement and how they will handle it. Again a guess on my part but not sure if regular dmv's will do it or whether it will be handled in Baton Rouge with Special and Prestige Plate unit like vin stencil. All that will have to be worked out by them.

I was at a location doing a pick up when I asked if I could wander and look at some stuff. I was talking to a serviceman who gave me the thumbs up. He asked me if I was interested? I said I would like to see when they come up. A few minutes later, a senior person with a zillion stripes and...
