WA law says bond is required to get a title in situations where no title exists. If, for whatever reason, they didn't require the bond, more power to you. Might be something to try, if you don't need a title for 3 years... I'd just as soon get it done in VT and have proof of ownership, but...

Vermont. WA will require a '3 year registration without title', which requires a bond amount that's 1 1/2 times the value of the vehicle. So, if you think it's worth 5 grand, you're gonna get a $7500 bond. Easier, cheaper, and faster, to go through Vermont, get a title issued, then transfer it...

I had the unfortunate duty of retrieving data from a computer of a widow whose husband was killed in a HMMWV accident while deployed. It had just happened about 2 months before, and ALL the pictures of him, and essentially his life, was on that computer.... It was NOT pretty.. She was a wreck...

Have a good life insurance policy to pay off the house/take care of your family... That's about it.

The shop wasn't H&H diesel was it?

I have NOT found a good primer that sticks to CARC. Most of the ones I have tried, have peeled. I've had better luck spraying directly onto the CARC after scuffing it, than trying to prime it, then coat it. I used around 6 gallons on an M934, for reference.. and there's a LOT to cover...

Details on box construction?

No. CARC has pretty rough texture, for paint. Wash the truck with DAWN, to get all the oil and grease off... use a scotchbrite or brillo pad (with no soap) to scuff things up... or sandpaper if you really feel like it (last time I used a sander with ~200 grit) and do a rough pass over the body...

First two were immediately after applying, next two were 5 days later... Apparently I didn't take pics of the ultra-flat. 5 days later... This is Behr 4300 ultra-flat about 4 years after applying it....and the M1010 was about 2-3 years before that. If you're wondering about...

Ultra-flat. Marquee has a primer built in, and is not quite a semi-gloss but definitely not flat. The premium plus laid down better than the marquee, but still wasn't flat. I believe the product code is 4300. I have a picture comparing the 3 in the Behr paint thread, I'll have to see if I...

I'm assuming your headsets are using a 4 pin 1/4" plug ? Or are they the older 2 wire, 2 pin 1/4" plug? The UV5R is a radio. Advantage is it can be used to talk to others, not just in your truck. Disadvantage is others can hear your convo if they're close enough. Intercom can't be...

Baofeng UV5R on MURS. License free, low power, and the radios are roughly $25 a piece. They support VOX, so no need to key the PTT every time you talk. Adapters are readily available, or you can just buy newer 2 pin headsets for cheap.

This has already been hashed over, years ago. I'll have to find the info, but the long and the short of it was, military vehicles are exempt from FMVSS, and because they're exempt, they comply with it, by being exempted from it. Since the vehicles were manufactured under the exemption, the...

An average 2,000 sq ft house needs about 80K BTU of heat... That comes out to about 40 BTU / Sq. ft Of course higher/lower depending on where the house is, but that's the average. You have 60K BTU for 90 sq ft. That's 666.66 BTU / sq ft. You have more than 10x the heating capability per sq...

I spent the first 25 years of my life there... I have a LOT more stories, but they're not for this thread... :D

Yellow speed limit signs are not regulatory. They're advisory/ cautionary. Like if you're going around a curve, or an off ramp. White speed limit signs are regulatory, and hold the force of law. I passed a yellow advisory sign, didn't reduce my speed, and got pulled over for 'speeding'...

Someone probably saw one, and said 'OMG, I can't believe they let these weapons of war on our streets for anyone to drive, THEY COULD KILL PEOPLE!'... and they either know someone in politics, or ARE in politics, and decided that they wanted it changed.... Same type of people that call the HOA...
