    Hearing Protection - An often overlooked safety concern

    I worked in a university sound lab. We tested ear plugs and ear muffs about 5 years ago for a forging plant when they were making hearing protection mandatory. We found that the tapered foam ear plugs protected better than the high end (non-noise canceling) ear muffs and were more comfortable...

    IL Registration

    Isn't the bribe dependent on who you know, what political party you are in, if you belong to a union, and if you can find the governor's wife a job? :wink:

    I got pulled over in my Deuce

    It appears Illinois law does not make any exception. Not surprising since the deuce was not designed as a civi vehicle and wouldn't have had to meet the same (if any existed) regs. It really is a bumper/frame height issue. Search for the thread in the deuce mods section if you really want the...

    I got pulled over in my Deuce

    Bumper height issues in Illinois that Vtach is looking into, not sure about Ohio, except that if you run Michigan tags there you'll be pulled over no matter what vehicle.

    USAA for M35A2, anyone ever have luck with

    Since insurance laws vary by state, is it not reasonable to think that USAA's policies vary by state as well?

    Legal bumper height?

    Here's the relevant text from vtach's link: (625 ILCS 5/12‑607) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 12‑607) Sec. 12‑607. Suspension System. (a) It shall be unlawful to operate a motor vehicle on any highway of this State when the suspension system has been modified from the...

    Peoria, Illinois Events

    I live in Peoria, but I don't own any green. I'd like to get a deuce, but I need to get out of this apartment and into a place of my own first so I have someplace to park it. Plus, I'm still trying to understand the Illinois laws about titling and licensing. If you ever organize something in...
