First off, I would like to thank Kurt Lesser for answering my questions about registering an auction bought truck in the state of CA. I would like to get any available input from those of you who live in this great state of California who have gone through the registration process. I would also like to know if anyone has purchased a direct sell Marine Corps truck versus a DLA truck which supposedly comes with a "On road" hwy use SF97.
I would like to get as much input as possible about the CA registration process from those of you who bought DLA and Marine Corps trucks through GOVPlanet and your CA DMV experiences. I am mostly afraid of purchasing a truck and then not being able to register it. I am not concerned about going through hurdles as much as I am concerned about being denied to possess a road legal HMMWV. I want to avoid purchasing an 8,000 pound driveway ornament at all cost.
Thanks!

And all the USMC trucks are 1998 and above...actually most are 2001-2004, you will never get it smogged in calif.
Calif is 1997 and below for smog exemption, unless it comes it from out of state...then it has to be calif CARB compliant.

You should check for emission label sticker on the driver side engine valve cover... DMV will look for it during inspection. The Humvees that have it, usually sell for a lot more.
BTW I have some emission decal stickers for sale.

Re: Calling all CA GOVPlanet Hmmwv owners
the hummers bought on gov web site are 5500 lbs. Also they don't come with a sf97 that says on road use it states for off hwy use only which can be a very sticky place to be. The older ones last year came with a title that was not stamp for off hwy use only but now alllll of them come marked stamped that way good luck. Then of coarse you have the task of getting insurance for it which if you don't have multiple military vehicles registered they will not register just the hummer. Good luck
