Re: converting from private to commercial
 

1400E works out to about $1840US. Ouch. Are there other taxes assocated
with motor vehicles in Ireland as well, or is that pretty much the whole
tax bite? In the US there are local property taxes levied as well as
taxes on motor fuels, but I don't think that I pay as much in combined
taxes on my `96 Cherokee, even at 20K miles a year.

Does this apply to you?

* All seats and seat belts to the rear of the driver must be removed and
the bolt holes welded over. This would mean you'll likely want to
fabricate a platform to fill in the space over the rear seat footwells.

* It is not necessary to insist that vehicle owners blacken out windows or
to remove windows & replace with other materials.

In the US "black out windows" can be accomplished with paint. If you need
to remove the glass and replace it with metal an autobody shop should be
able to do do that, but I'd guess that the cost is going to be roughly
what you're paying in road use tax now.

I looked for what USAns would call a "panel truck conversion" kit for a
Cherokee but found nothing. Oddly enough, what you want to do is the
reverse of what some truck owners in the US do. They install windows in
the sides of their panel trucks to allow them to drive on certain roads
with commercial vehicle restrictions.

Re: converting from private to commercial
 
I don't need a bone fide commercial use for the vehicle. I just need to
have the side rear windows permanently blanked, and the rear seats removed.
I'm unconcerned with the "look at me" factor. I had a litre handmade sports
car, and got rid of that because every time I returned to the car, there'd
be a crowd round it.

But you are correct about the Jeep - it IS seen in the UK as a bit of a
prestige vehicle, no matter that mine is an 95 model now. When I moved to
Ireland in 1998, I was the only one around with a Jeep - I mean a proper
Jeep, and there were very few WAD vehicles. Now, with everyone having loads
of cash, big vehicles are a status symbol. However, the Saab convertible is
the one that turns heads here now..... :-)

Well you have several suggestions for blanking the windows. Now all you
need is a worker to separate you from your cash. Good luck.
