You have too many toys! Extremely jealous

Well no matter what at the end of the day it looks like Michigan will decide this. If we win against Michigan it sets the bar and makes it harder for other states to deny especially in court. Now if Michigan wins, we'll there's two sides of the coin. Other states will be emboldened to follow...

You might not be interested in comparison, but that is the whole point and argument being made against the state. The whole basis for legality in a court of law would be based on comparable vehicles made during the same time. I'm not sure what your point is except that for some reason you are...

Big brother should not dictate our lives. Freedom brother

Does my 1965 chevy have those features? My harley? My roadster I build in my shop.. the list goes on.

That's exactly what CO told me. So what did I do, I took it and passed an emissions test. Not the visual one either. I found a shop that had equipment to handle my hmmwv, took some calling around but found one. Once I had this the state really had no reason to reject me. Took some polite...

Remember, the state works for us. Can't see how they have a case to restrict the hmmwv and not other vehices. Once again how is a hmmwv less safe than a motorcyle, golf cart, roadster ect. Also, I can understand emmissions, but then I should be able to fix this.

If it has happened I don't understand why the state isn't tied up in lawsuits forever costing them tons of money. If the state tries to take my registration and plates away without a very solid reasoning and without the ability for me to bring my vehicle up to their standards. I will sue them...

I completely agree. I deal with legal language all day for work. Legal language can be very specific or very vague. I belive the lauguage is vague on purpose to give the states and local authority the power to enforce in any way they feel. Remember all legal language is interpreted in its...

First, if you are the second buyer from someone who owned it and has a legit title how would you ever know if it had an "Off road use only" stamp on it? Not all hmmwvs have this restriction. Second, if the state approved it I would say my lawyer would shift the burdon to the state. Third...

This is the sticker on my truck, figured I'd share it since it's being discussed.

Yes, I spoke with the DMV official above the local desk clerk. Stated all the basic reasons as discussed here for why I shouldn't be denied. Main reason is that my chassis is approved for highway use..H1...best example. Also my engine has an EPA approved sticker on it. If you have an...

Got to comment because this discussion is important. The hmmwv in my opinion is road worthy, if you can build a vehicle in your garage, get it inspected and then have it titled and registered, how in the heck is a hmmwv not safe? Just the fact that motorcycles are street legal makes the case...

Odds are it's the joint between the tank and the filler tube. The rubber fernco like coupling gets old and loose. Tighten up the band clamps and you should be good. Need a long screwdriver to get at one of them

Yeah I know, they needed replacement anyways though, was going to wait till spring but the no start motivated me to get it done

Had the same thing last week. Pulled all the glow plugs, tested with my multimeter, only 3 were working! Go figure, the three good ones were the easy ones to get to on the drivers side. The two hardest ones on passenger side were slightly swollen. Very carefully removed, and luckily they...

For this very reason, anytime I'm at a red light on a steep hill I shift manually. Otherwise my rig likes to shift to third on the way up and blow a little black smoke.

Really loose body mount? I had a thumping and rattling from the front and after tightening the body mounts everything is good.

Do you have radials or bias tires? I need to upgrade to radials as my bias tires do the same thing your describing. Feels like I'm riding on jello a bit and will grab any little line in the road and pull me around especially when wet.

I wouldn't worry about securing the battery compartment. First, the theif would have to know where the batteries are. Second, they would have to figure out how to bypass the switch. If they already know these things they really want your truck and a lock is the easiest thing for a theif to...
