That's the sad part. And they blame the scale officials instead of accepting responsibility for their own actions.

Yes, NC is one of the strictest states when it comes to weigh scale requirements. If you are driving a 6x6 (whether it's a 2.5 ton or 5 ton, loaded or not) through NC and have out of state plates you better have IRP/IFTA or trip permits too as they do not exempt trucks used for personal use...

Have you looked through the SteelSoldier's classified section? Recently SS member PCTrans had some tires listed. Don't know if they are the exact tread pattern you want though. He's in Florida. Another SS member to check with might be 100dollarman as he also sells tires. If I remember correctly...

Okay, I have three videos of Vinny's M1009. The first two show him playing in the mud while the third one shows the aftermath of what happens when you sling mud while driving an M1009 without it's top and you have passengers in the back. :) Warning: These mpegs are rather large and are not...

That would be me. Sorry for the delay Vinny. Been having some issues lately with the company I paid for web hosting and I've been busy fighting them for the legal rights to my two domains as they had them registered in the name of their company. So I was holding off uploading anything to the...

That depends on year. :) Small cams were built till something like the late 70's or early 80's. The 1974 IH 4300 Transtar I had (the one in my current avatar) had a small cam 350. 290's and 350's can be either small cam or big cam.

Phil, If they leave you broke let me know when you're coming through the Tampa area and I'll buy you lunch. :) I also sent you a PM with my phone number in case you run in to any trouble within 200 miles of Tampa.

For a minute I thought he might be broken down just a little south of me (I'm not too far from I-75, mile mark 240) but I had to look up SETOYOTA's profile to be sure. Found out SETOYOTA is up in Georgia so it looks like I'm to far south to be of any help. Sorry.

I was talking about the requirements for it, not the form used to file the quarterly claim. :) If you are not for commerce then what they go by when determining whether you need it or not is the weight rating of the truck (as in GVWR). If you are driving a truck with a GVWR of 26,001 pounds or...

The trick is that while there is a spot for a DOT # on the form that does not mean you need it in order to get them. :) When I got the IFTA sticker in VA they first said I had to write down a DOT number on the form. I told them that while IFTA was required whether you were in commerce or not you...

Unless you plan to make a lot of trips per year you would probably be better off just using IRP/IFTA trip permits. You will need to total up the cost of permits versus the total cost of apportioned plates to see which one works best for you. Plus check with each state to see whether you need...

The best people I've found to talk to is the Commercial Law Enforcement Office with the State Troopers. When you ask them about CDL requirements also ask for the regulation or state statute number that covers their answer. Once you get that reg number look it up and read it for yourself. And if...

Saturday was great! Had a lot of fun on the trail ride. And the steak dinner that evening was just icing on the cake. Thanks for another perfect get together Vinny! :) Here's a couple pics of the first casualty on Saturday's ride. Will post links to the video I took of Jack being pulled out...

Nothing like getting stuck in the mud when it's pitch black out. :) I will be calling Vinny around 10 o'clock tomorrow morning to see if there will be a late afternoon ride on Saturday. If there is I will be out there around 2 pm with my kids since the wife has to work and can't watch them.

Just found out the Air Force base is having an exercise this weekend so the wife won't be able to watch the kids as she will be working. This means I won't be able to leave Tampa till around noon on Saturday due to the kids having to be somewhere that morning. The bummer is I won't be able to...

Pete (pctrans) started a thread that I think fits what you are looking for. :) http://www.steelsoldiers.com/upcoming-events/87284-june-2012-fl-richloam-mv-rally-swap-sale-thread.html

If you're just going to be driving in a parade and don't need four wheel drive another thing you can do is go ahead and pull the rear drive shaft and drive the GPW in the parade with the transfer case in 4wd. :)

Not that I have anything against Jack but isn't posting stuff on behalf of a banned member a no-no?

Here's the web site for the camp ground. WITHLACOOCHEE RIVER CANOE RENTAL & RV PARK Couple other links pertaining to get togethers at this place can be found at this old post: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/steel-soldiers-rally/60414-florida-richloam-mv-rally.html#post708232

When I first got in to semi trucks I got a similar answer from a Commercial Law Enforcement Officer in Alaska. I was talking with him about whether I needed a CDL or not if the vehicle was for personal use and he informed me that I did because Alaska did not give an exemption for it like the...
