9-21-2011 I am street legal now. I will save you the fights I had with the (SOS) Secretary of State in Michigan and list what you need to do.
1. You will need to go to the SOS and get forms TR-54 and TR-34
2. Contact your Sheriff department and schedule a vin check and safety inspection after you have everything installed. This is part 1 and 2 on the TR-54. They made me call 911, WTF!!
3. You will need all your receipts that you used to make it street legal. (They want to make sure you paid Michigan taxes on the accessories) I just gave them receipts from the dealer. Screw them on the out of state purchases.
4. Fill out the TR-34. In the statement area they want something like: I added accessories signaling kit, rear bumper, full windshield, center mirror, left mirror from the vehicle manufacturer. They want to know where all the parts came from, so you might have more parts to list from different sources. (I didn't list anything bought out of state)
5. You have to go to a certified scale and have your Commander weighed. (where ever you buy gravel should have a calibrated scale)
6. Take everything above to the SOS, forms,receipts,weight slip,title, and proof of insurance. They will ask you if you have a pick-up bed, say NO. You have a utility vehical. They should class you as Assembled Utility.
7. This is what sucks. Your Commander will be classified as an assembled vehicle with a new vin #. If you have a 2012 like mine, it is now a 2011 because of the year I made it street legal. Don't even try to argue about it. They are going by the book. It will take 2 to 3 months then someone will come out and install a new vin # sticker and give you your new title.
8. If everything goes okay, you will be able to purchase a 30 or 60 day temp tag. 60 day cost $50 which is more than a full year plate.
9. Enjoy your ride with a big ol cheesy smile on your face.
11-17-11 Just recieved my new vin# and plate. Took just under 2 months to receive. The title does say 2011 assembled, body style is utility. My Michigan plate cost me $40. Price was based on a weight of 1600#.
