unforgiven Posted December 13, 2014 Report Posted December 13, 2014 That would be a fun toy.The Carfax would make interesting read.
BLKSHEEP Posted December 13, 2014 Report Posted December 13, 2014 What keeps these from being street legal? <dontknow>
392heminut Posted December 13, 2014 Report Posted December 13, 2014 What keeps these from being street legal? <dontknow> I suspect that they are not emissions compliant.
98Z5V Posted December 13, 2014 Report Posted December 13, 2014 ^^^ That, and they don't meet safety standards established by all those agencies. No side impact protection test results, no test on front end crumple zone bull$hit, yada, yada, yada. They were never tested for any of that BS, because they never had to meet those standards. You know, those standards that save us all every single day... :soap:
BLKSHEEP Posted December 13, 2014 Report Posted December 13, 2014 That makes since , but didn't the terminator drive his all over kaliforniastan? ;D
shepp Posted December 13, 2014 Author Report Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) Yea there are civilian models? Wonder if you could get some kinda collector pass for it? Ive always wanted a duce and a half Edited December 13, 2014 by shepp
shepp Posted December 13, 2014 Author Report Posted December 13, 2014 Hmmmm probably the simple fact some jag In a suit don't want it on the road. I can't imagine its thst crash rating it's a freckin hummer.
USMCbassman Posted December 16, 2014 Report Posted December 16, 2014 Shepp - Here you go: http://www.100dollarman.com/trucks.html All for sale and if I remember correctly street legal. Somewhere around 5,500 bucks. Arnold had a Hummer H1 also created by AM General. These things have to meet some sort of NHSTA/DOT regulations. They are driven on public roads daily or at least around here. From CPEN to 29 Palms, to Yuma, etc.

From CPEN to 29 Palms, to Yuma, etc. Brother, no military vehicle has to meet any civilian vehicle safety standards at any time - even to be driven on public roads. The only thing that the military has to abide with are speed limits and traffic laws, and HAZMAT standards. Convoy placards are just a courtesy to civilians. <thumbsup> Militarily, I could drive a big truck with air brakes, as long as I got militarily licensed. I could drive that on public roads, too. As a civilian, if I drive a truck with air brakes, I have to have a CDL. That's just one example. Fuk, militarily, I had to get licensed on a fucking chainsaw. No $hit. Don't have to do THAT stupid one as a civilian... <lmao> Edited December 16, 2014 by 98Z5V

I believe the CDL for air brakes is only if you are using the vehicle for commercial purposes or if it is over the Class 7 weight limit. Where da fuk is that opinionated moto-cop?!

blue109 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Posted December 16, 2014 we drove the big HETs whenever one needed to be driven. they blanket licenced us on tons of wheeled stuff with no training. "press the gas and turn the wheel dumbs#!t" I didn't even have a civi license when I joined.
Robocop1051 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Posted December 16, 2014 Where da fuk is that opinionated moto-cop?! I've been looking into this since it first posted. In California... I can't speak for all those backwards states you inbreeders come from... As long as the vehicle is wheeled, has a VIN, and had all the required lighting/safety/emission equipment, it should be able to be registered. I have a friend (retired highway patrol) who owns a shiit ton of mil veh's just for collecting. From Willys to Half Tracks. I've been trying to contact him for answers, but he moved off the grid after retirement.
blue109 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Posted December 16, 2014 hmm...what about all those CA guys who had their imported Japanese skylines crushed?
shibiwan Posted December 16, 2014 Report Posted December 16, 2014 hmm...what about all those CA guys who had their imported Japanese skylines crushed? Those dumbasses didn't do the right paperwork. You had to "sanitize" the VIN by registering it in a state that will do it first, then register it in CA like you moved to CA.
blue109 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Posted December 16, 2014 lots of those poor bastards bought them with VIN and registration already done. they were crushed after the fact.
Robocop1051 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Posted December 16, 2014 Right side drive is always a dead giveaway. We get salvage cars from OR all the time. The Russians sanitize the VINs through their businesses. The VIN bounces so many times no one can keep track. I think companies like Car Fax is fcuking up their process.
shepp Posted December 16, 2014 Author Report Posted December 16, 2014 Bet it's do able in MI and AZ I know a few guys who had street legal XR50's in MI reg as mopeds. And I'm sure 98 knows better than I but can't you or couldn't you at one time get a street able plate for quads in AZ?? Robo I find it hard to belive a guy who collets military equipment went off the grid after retiring ;) lol
shibiwan Posted December 17, 2014 Report Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) You can practically make anything street legal in AZ. As long as it passes the sniffer it's good to go. That's why I was driving around in CA with AZ plates when I was living in norcal. (uh oh, now robo's gonna be on the lookout for me next time I'm in norcal) Edited December 17, 2014 by shibiwan
blue109 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) only need sniffer in Phx and tuc. why so many fast cars are reg. in sierra vista or green valley Edited December 17, 2014 by blue109
392heminut Posted December 17, 2014 Report Posted December 17, 2014 Same here in New Mexico only there are no sniffer laws.
shibiwan Posted December 17, 2014 Report Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) only need sniffer in Phx and tuc. why so many fast cars are reg. in sierra vista or green valley Because many people don't know how to fool the sniffer. With OBD-2 it became a whole lot easier since they only check the codes and skip the sniffer altogether Edited December 17, 2014 by shibiwan
Robocop1051 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Posted December 17, 2014 (uh oh, now robo's gonna be on the lookout for me next time I'm in norcal) Yeah, because an Asian guy in a sports car really stands out in the Bay Area.... RoR
