    Titling and registering in Virginia

    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...

    Titling and registering in Virginia

    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...

    Titling and registering in Virginia

    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...

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...

    Hello from NoVA

    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...

    Hello from NoVA

    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...

    Hello from NoVA

    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...
