Sorry if this is redundant or a topic that's been beat to death, but...
I just bought a m1097r1 in Wa and they sent me a clean SF-97. Nothing on the SF to indicate "Off Road Use Only". One DMV flat denied me on road titleship. The other asked me to photograph my data plate and then offered the off road plates, stating that the SF-97 and my data plate did not contain verbiage that my make/model passes fed highway safety standards. They even said that with the right data plate this particular DMV would have to request approval from "headquarters" in Olympia. I know of people getting on road plates, even recently. I'm lookin for as much info as I can to help get past this. Thanks for your collective knowledge.

Re: Titling a m1097r1 in Washington State
I have no real helpful info for you.
I suggest you also join Steel Soldiers.
They have a good HMMWV section.
You may find others in your boat that have found their way around the wall you face.
It's going to be more then you expected.
You're not the first to buy one before you do your homework.
Good luck I would suggest asking the people you know of who have recently jumped through the Firey hoop.
If they are local to you then they have found the loophole you need to also jump through.

Re: Titling a m1097r1 in Washington State
Hi Jarret,
Hopefully You got things done and this post is not useful, as well as very late. In My case, I made sure mine was titled outside Washington and then brought the title to my (Eastern Wa) DMV. I half wonder if it's easier on the East side, and gets harder the closer You get to the coast, (Dare I say politics?) Did You find a way to get through the Olympic Road Blocks?

Hello Edmond, Yes I just received my title in the mail today. A little persistence and perseverance was what it took.
