FYI...I spoke to the TX DMV in my county (Montgomery) inquiring about registration and she was very familiar with registering HMMWVs. She said as long as I had completed a vehicle inspection and a weight ticket from a certified weigh station, I would be good to register regardless of the original listed GVR.First as far as Texas is concerned GVWR is just that Gross vehicle weight rating and is clearly marked on the data plate, I did a M998 last year that the SF97 was marked "off road use only" and had no issues getting unrestricted registration, (GVWR 7700lb)
The state law regarding GVWR and HMMWV registration is very clear, (this law ONLY applies to the HMMWV) there is no language in the law that I read about the SF97 being marked "off road use only" or not.
While it may be possible to "slip in under the radar" and get unrestricted registration on a HMMWV with a GVWR over 10K I would be concerned that it may fall under review at a later date.
On the other hand I have had many vehicles over the years with antique plates and have never had any issues driving them whenever or wherever I wanted.
I don't get my vehicle for a few months so I hope it's as easy as she made it sound.
