Altered Vehicles
If you change or alter your vehicle’s body and spend more than $2,000 or more on the alterations, or if your alterations place the vehicle in a different weight classification, you must report these alterations to DMV.

Once you’ve met all of the standard safety and emissions requirements for your specific dune buggy, it’s just a matter of insuring your buggy and filling out the proper paperwork.
Please note that these are general guidelines and the exact requirements may vary. It’s always a good idea to check with your local DMV for the most accurate information.
