I know I'm reviving an old thread, but... Where was the check valve and what needed to be done to free it up? I'm seeing nothing on the rear of mine except the steering shaft.

I ended up making a solution for this. See below, apologies if this is not allowed: https://www.schwendwaterjet.com/online-store/HMMWV-M1152-Rear-Half-Door-Filler-Panels-p146467012

Not being a smart @$$, but there's 28 pages of info here about what you seek. :)

I think it's 125 miles max length for a trip, not a yearly limit.

I have seen his other, more detailed e-mail to Yancey. They conclude it was "designed for off road use" for two reasons: 1) Some unnamed person in the DLA decided to put "Off Road Use Only" on the SF97 for some of the trucks sold at auction. 2) AM General sent a letter saying they were "not...

This just gets dumber and dumber. And to think... this guy's biggest achievement is to be in charge of a division that controls something which he knows nothing about. There's no question that military vehicles will all fall under this category in the future, regardless of what these ignorant...

Below picture taken yesterday. Zoomed in digitally to try to show the issue. Overview showing area where it will be zoomed in on the next picture. Arrow pointing to overlap that is occurring. This is the worst side.

I scored a helmet top. I'm having the same problem with it as I had with my soft top parts. That is, it seems like my windshield is angled towards the cab too much or something like that. With the top installed directly over the B pillars, the front is overhanging where it should drop into...

Misrepresenting HMMWV years of manufacture is very common in for sale ads by people who don't know better, and by some who do it intentionally. I have one of the newest trucks out there, which is a 2005.

Resurrecting this thread, and I don't know if it's allowed per steel Soldiers rules, but I ended up making a locking fuel door. If you order because of this, let me know so I can give Steel Soldiers a cut. https://www.schwendwaterjet.com/online-store/HMMWV-Hummer-H1-Locking-Fuel-Door-p115973636

I haven't had a chance to read everything. But ideally the law should be set up to allow people to title/register as normal vehicles, and also have the option for an Antique style plate for those that are more interested in keeping the vehicles in non-road worthy fashion. Assuming that LA...

I think the changes will start to trickle through around July in VA. That was something one of the members of our group heard from the State Trooper.

Your guess is as good as mine. They didn't even know. It's a good bet that the state police and DMV will choose to define it as any former military vehicle.

All vehicles that fit the definition of a "former surplus military vehicle" or whatever they said MUST register as such. They are not eligible for registration as Antiques.

This is what sucks about the bill. It gives all power of interpretation to the officer who pulls you over and whether or not the judge agrees with him. And then poof, 5 years of use gone. It's an absolutely horrible bill in its wording.

The new bill specifically says the vehicles can't be registered as antiques. I would assume that was the only plate option you can get until it gets changed.

They changed the wording in the Administrative code in September of last year. The State Police are saying that vehicles are REQUIRED to have an FMVSS sticker as the first inspection item. Retraining is "supposed" to be coming later this year. I have a few inspectors on the lookout for the...

There's the subcommittee meetings, conversations with senators on the side before and after that committee hearing, conversations with the State Trooper supposedly in charge of safety inspections in Virginia, phone calls with senators, e-mails with them, conversations with the bill's sponsor in...

I'm trying to help you understand how the DMV and VA State Police AND THE LEGISLATORS understand the issue. There's no value in trying to convince me. I know they weren't designed for Off Road Use Only. They are road vehicles designed with Off Road Capability. And that's a huge difference.

Not entirely true. They have no idea what they're talking about. The DMV and the State Police has a much broader definition of which military vehicles were "designed for off road use". The bill is worded horribly and vaguely. And it doesn't matter what Carrico or anyone else says in congress...
