HI, I just got my 2002 M1123. If I title and register it out of state, how does the insurance and inspection work. I live in Buffalo, NY
.
There are people who have titles from companies that allow you to title in a state that doesn't restrict HMMWV's. There are individuals who have gotten titles without the help of a company. Just plain, normal people who asked the right questions, filled out the right forms, mailed off some money and a title from that state arrives in your mailbox.
THE REAL QUESTION is when you insure your vehicle - maybe in another state - and then you have or create a motor vehicle accident in your state WILL YOU BE COVERED? If you kill somebody, the ante is up for sure... There
will be lawyers. They will be out to relieve you of everything you own.
I'm not a lawyer, but maybe go spend a few hundred dollars. Small potatoes compared to what you invested in your truck... Go sit down with an attorney and explain what you want to do to avoid legal troubles with registration that isn't "native" to your state. It would be a good investment.

You can easily get it registered.
You can get insurance on anything.
Can you get IN WRITING from that insurance company that your not trying to bend the rules and that they will "cover" you if you clearly describe how you are subverting their rules?
So, how good is that insurance when something goes wrong. Especially if you "stretched the truth" when you filled out the application. Oh, and there is disclaimer on most applications about falsifying as well.
Off my soapbox.
Best of luck to you.
Be legal.
Be legitimate.
