dstang97 you could be right, but I'm just trying to follow the rules. I just got a call through to wethersfield, and the gentlmen was very nice and professional. He told me that all I need to do is have all of the lights working, (that sort of stuff), and make sure that the bumper is at or...

Dstang97 what year did you register her? I was polite to the point of getting nauseousness. Still my complaint is that only two sites do the vin verification so one travels the highways crossing the state maybe 5 times to get a copy of what must be done. One would expect the rules and laws to be...

I stated 13500 lbs and 5000 lb load max. Private use only with antique plates.

So the story continues. I went to a second emissions station and they did a Vin check. Then I went to Danbury DMV, and they told me that they won’t give me a second temporary as all military vehicles need a full safety inspection and can only be flat bedded to Wethersfield. Second, they don’t...

Wethersfield pulled me out of line and said put on a bumper then come back. They never asked for any info and told me they would not even look until I put on a bumper.

Acesneights1 I have two deuces, one with SF97, and one that was registered in NJ. I was told that each needs a vin check and that emission stations no longer can do a vin check on a military vehicle. I will try some other emission stations, but am also going to add a lower trailer hitch that...

I am registering as historic or antique. I have gone to an emissions station and was told that the law in CT changed in July of 2013. Military vehicles now have to go to either Wethersfield or Hamden DMV for a VIN check. The CT DMV site also states the same. I agree that these locations will...

Thanks for the info. Now that I'm thinking about this I would like a modern style trailer hitch. I have purchased one from this site that goes under the pintle but would actually like to fab up something that goes a little lower. I started to fab up the bumper part thinking about using the...

Rosco I was really all smiles and I have a temp for ten more days so I can put on a few miles. I'm in no hurry. They said they have had a few military vehicles in the last few weeks that all failed this. I purchased a trailer hitch, but wonder if it would be stable enough side to side as the...

I think that they are calling the Deuce a large truck as this verbage comes from a truck safety site. I think that CT just may have enacted this locally for all trucks/

They cited a federal standard, not a CT one. They say that this is for all states. Federal Standard 393.86: Rear impact guards and rear end protection (b)(1) Requirements for motor vehicles manufactured after December 31, 1952 (except trailers or semitrailers manufactured on or after January...

Hello, just failed inspection at Wethersfield DMV. They insist that I have to fabricate a bumper to meet CT standards. They also said that the deuce does not have a bumper as built. I know that new vehicles and composites need to have lower bumpers, but did not know that vehicles currently...
