I know both the dealer and exact HMMWV you bought, since the yard you bought it from is less than 5 miles from my house and I pass it everyday. I have also known the Dealer in question for over 20 years and his integrity is above reproach, so your attempt at slander is ludicrous. I have purchased close to half million dollars worth of heavy construction equipment (his main business) over the past 2 decades and never has he treated myself or one of the numerous other construction companies in our area with anything other than professionalism.
I also know for a FACT, that the title you have in hand is not bonded. It was obtained using a DLA ISSUED SF-97 from GP w/ the obnoxious FORUO stamp on it. This dealer did his due diligence by contacting a local state trooper that lives in our area and asking the right questions. He then proceeded to contact the local titling authority to find out exactly what, if anything, he could do to have his vehicles titled IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE LAW. I know this to be fact because I assisted him in several of the steps. He performed the required modifications as instructed and ultimately brought the original FORUO item up to state safety standards to be considered eligible for a clear title, authorized for on road use.
As a retired US ARMY Senior NCO, I will have to concur with my SS brothers and say that I have witnessed personally data plate swaps, the same serial number on two different trucks in the same motorpool, and everything in between. Heck, I have personally stamped a data plate during change of command inventories because the incoming commander wanted the books to match!! The only thing you can do is get something, in writing, from the manufacturer that states unequivocally that the the truck you have is NOT the year model on the title and then prove that this dealer knowingly and with intent to defraud sold you this truck with the wrong year. Other than that enjoy the ride and don't screw it up for the rest of us!!
