Along with the papers you get from the government sale you need to start at the state patrol office and request a document from the patrol as to what exactly is needed to register a vehicle as street legal. It may vary from state to state but that will be your bible for your state to make sure you have every needed system working properly on the vehicle before making your appointment to have the car inspected. Keep the 'bible' with ou at time of inspection so you can calmly make a point to the inspector what the state requires for a street legal vehicle. It shows you know your work and don't be sarcastic with them. Most states require seat belts in all seat locations, wipers, headlights, tail lights, the third brake light sometimes, a working defroster for the windshield. Some states might require you to change out the ignitin switch pack for a key controlled ignition switch. Many states will require a door with side windows so be prepared, have your doors mounted ready for inspections. Good luck, if you don't make the cut have them write down all items that failed the inspection, fix them and reschedule an appointment, sometimes there are multiple inspectors and the next one might pass your ride. Don't forget that the hummer is technically a truck and there might be differences in what the state looks for.
I had to do basically the same thing for my homemade boat trailer it's a bit of running around but it's really not that big of a deal..... I also live in missouri your apartment complex in your other video looks a lot like Saint Charles
I live in FL. they just asked for a selfie with mine in the background and they sent my registration in the mail....but seriously, what is the official make/model that you have it registered as??? It looks sick btw 🙌🏽
If I were to buy a Humber off of GovPlanet what are the things that I need to add to the car? Like for example let’s say the Humvee doesn’t come with blinkers because that’s how it’s manufactured, then I have to get blinkers, does that make any sense?
The internet and the vast information available on it to learn and educate one's self is not the problem. The problem is people would rather watch a dog getting screwed by a cat than actually expanding their IQ. It amazes me the amount of knowledge that can be gained easily. It also amazes me how many people like to be dumb as rocks, unfortunately they also know how to screw.

The Vehicle must be inspected, this usually will cost you. They will give you a listing of what passed and what failed. and usually let you know what needs to be done to make the vehicle pass. Every state/province is slightly different, some require a smog test, some won't. The age of the vehicle can also make a difference. Where I live if a vehicle is over 25 years old you can apply for a vintage licence, however there are restrictions that come with that. Basically they want to make sure that the vehicle is up to government regulations, and that everything works on the vehicle, and that it is safe to drive for you and for the general public.
My tip for a video to be "easy": - point the cam to the things people want to see; my guess is: the HUMVEE - everything you say is fine - but better if on the screen as well! actually you can sit @ home, don´t need to freeze and make a voice over with text.
I bought a M-1009 in 2019 in Oregon, and no problem getting the paperwork in California!. The only problem is what county you are going to register the vehicle in!!!. Other than that, the truck is totally stock!. No smog, no computer, 6.2L diesel!, TH400 trans with a NP208 transfer case with 308 gears in the front and rear differentials. At least 24mpg on the freeways, less on the streets!. Never will sell my truck!. Because the nice thing about her is; I can mix the fuel's and use used deep fry oil in the tank with regular diesel!!!.
You can get the paperwork in CA but CA will never allow you to get it registered and tags for it!!! That is written into the CA DMV Code. You could in previous years but not anymore!!!
I'm a new M1097 owner in Texas, and wondering if a universal catalytic converter might be suitable for my Humvee. The only proprietary one Iv'e found cost ~$900 plus shipping. Ty
If you live in Illinois just go to dirt legal and have them do it for you otherwise you'll end up with an off-road title and sending your plates back to the DMV.
@@Kevin24Seven Yes Sir... Your welcome... I'm looking to get myself a Humvee and or Hummer H1 as I have BEEN obsessed sence about 10yr old... I'm 33 now... This IS my life's dream machine... I'm from INDIANA... Was born in Lafayette just 2hrs and 45min AWAY from where the AM GENERAL plant is... I currently daily drive a 05 Hummer H2 and ABSOLUTELY ❤ it... But it's NOT what the Humvee is and or Civilian H1s are... This is just an obsession I have... Driven them ALL OWNED them All... EXCEPT the Humvee or H1... Just one of those things just gots to have one or I'm just going to go crazy... Anyway love your Humvee too... Flat glossy gun metal grey looks sweeeeet...!! Needs the H1 alfa brush guard and mirrors ohhh and the 3 little yellow marker lights on the windshield split... 🙏🤠👍🇺🇸
@@sammiller170 I agree fully on the brush guard and marker lights! But you gotta take the plunge man!! Also watch my vid top things I hate about my humvee before you buy one... They are no H2 or H3 lol, lots of small issues but still worth it in my opinion.
Street legal in a Red State, good, but street legal in a state that cares about air pollution bad? Whatever you can get away with, I guess. Mostly Teslas out here in California.
Personally, I don't recommend doing what you did. In Missouri and many other states, you can go to a highway patrol office and bring a form DOR 551 along with your SF97 where they will perform an inspection which will essentially assign a VIN and give you what you need to take to the DMV and/or mail to your state capital to apply for a title. If you pay for the Gov Planet title on the other hand it says right on it "for off highway use only"... this can lead to a while world of trouble and unless you are somehow able to pull one over on your DMV or you live in an extremely lenient state, you will probably never have a street legal Humvee. The easiest option however is probably just spend a little more money and pay Dirt Legal to help you. Its well worth it in my opinion unless you like lots of forms, waiting, re-doing forms, and dealing with confused government employees.
@@Kevin24Seven my court house didn’t give me a choice. They would only except a tittle. I tried the SF 97 because it was cheaper. I’m Sure it just depends on the state
@@howy4prez I'm not even really sure what you mean by court house? At no point in my titling process did I ever bring my paperwork to court but maybe your state is weird. For me the only two options were the DMV or State Capital (and Troop C to complete the DOR-551).
@@Kevin24Seven in Wyoming, anything that requires tags must go through the licensing department located in our court house. The DMV doesn’t issue plates here.
Hard to say, it was around 13k to just buy and get it to my house, then possibly another 2k in repairs and of course the sales tax and what not. So I would say a little under 20k.
Nope, they come with turn signals. Technically only thing needed in Missouri I think is a license plate light, maybe back up lights too but I doubt it.
I switched over to the keyed ignition you can get from Midwest Military Equipment. That being said, they are still easy to steal. If I lived in a bad area I would probably at least also put a wheel lock on it or something. I think it has a cable that comes out so you can padlock the steering wheel if needed.
Wisconsin is weird following is from their web site: The fee for Historic military license plates is $5. Historic military vehicle registration allows operation to and from special occasions, such as parades, display events, club activities, exhibitions and tours. Operation is also allowed for occasional personal use as well as testing, maintenance and storage purposes. The operator of an HMV must have a valid regular driver license; some HMVs may also require the operator to have a valid commercial driver license. The operator must follow all traffic laws. Vehicles with HMV license plates cannot be used for regular transportation. HMV plates are valid for as long as you own the vehicle and stay with the person who purchased them when the vehicle is sold.

“If you live in a blue state get yourself a Prius and call it a day” 🤣
If you live in a blue state and want to buy and drive a humvee, why are you still living in that blue state?

In Michigan the made a law to explicitly discriminate against humvees so they can NEVER be upgraded to a road use title
