Important

[bwfdrums]

I'd like to get out to Louisville for the expo this year. Maybe I can talk Sean into going with me.

We taking one of our jeeps?

 

[bwfdrums]

Lol he showed it to us the night we were doing my cage, and you and Sean were drinking all the Apple pie up.

That's when I was wondering what was so damn Important that's 3000 pages worth.

anyone know if you can access the blend door actuator on a 99 without taking the whole dash apart...trying to get the blower unstuck from full heat. everything i;ve found says its electronic and that you can get to it behind the glovebox, but i may be dumb. i'm working on the dd this week trying to get ready for a road trip to philly on friday. a/c compressor kicks on, so i'm hoping this thing will have cold air this summer

A guy told me yesterday that pick up plates in IL went up to $199.00 for renewal.
Pick up like that would go on an S-10 or a Tacoma...
Is this true?
Anyone have first hand knowledge of this?
Anyone in another state want to give me an address to "move to"?


EDIT, A quick Google search tells me this is not true...

X2. IL sucks.
$50/YR here

 

[seanR]

This is what I am paying now.
Taco, 8000 pounds, $101
Tool trailer, 5000 pounds, $54
Camper, 5000 pound RV $30
F-350, 12,000 pounds $158
Equipment trailer, 14000 pounds $343
I want to buy a dump trailer, but that will be another $343 per year.

Illinois does suck.
I read that you can license trailers in Maine and not live there,it is a one time fee, that is why you see a lot of commercial trailers with Maine plates.

So my current boss is letting me buy my $400, almost new, welding helmet for $50.....I have only used a couple hours when I was filling in for multiple people being out.....

Want to talk about registration fees...come to Indiana...

You can lifetime your trailer plates in michigan...just have to go to a michigan branch...you can register it to your out of state address.

No. Just did my plates. $101 on a regular renewal. If you think you need some message on your plates its more but I never spent money on that stuff.
My car trailer is $58. Gotta have a C plate to go over 5k gross.

Now a Clayton Offroad dealer if anyone is in the market.

I guess I am a glutton for old projects...I am trying to get bought a 86 Chevy K30 (or C30?). All I know is that it has a newer motor and tranny, its a one ton single wheel with a flat bed and a bale spike. Minimal rust and looks to be a solid truck. Nice thing about these old trucks is that any real mechanic can fix anything on them with simple tools and parts are cheap and readily available....or you can swap a complete LS drivetrain in one for cheap too. Will know by tomorrow afternoon if I got it bought or not......looks like Tim rig but not near as nice.

Sweet! I'm in love with mine. It looks good from far but it's far from good.

I got this over the weekend. 84 k30 350/400 205 d60 14b with hummer wheels.

 

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

I got hung at the counter this morning and did not get back to bid at the end of the auction and missed that truck by $100! I was pissed! But I will keep my eyes open bc I like the simplicity of the vehicles and parts are super easy to get. There are plenty more out there, now to just keep searching. The appeal to this one was it had a reman motor and a flat bed w/ a bale spike.

I bought a 97 XJ this morning and will be picking it up this weekend. Has a weak tranny but not a bad rig overall. Found a tranny for $200.

I got time to kill waiting on server 2008 to do things.
