    You think they'd have this figured out...

    Seems random and not at all consistent. If you're selling ammo cans, model, size, count. Tires: Size, date code thread pict Yet, the best they can do is get the count of the cans. Maybe. It's like the process is optimized to mislead as much as possible. I contrast to the local guys who will...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Thanks. Saved the covers so when I paint the next set to go on... 24V to USB. Put a fuse block in a while ago, so one more entry. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KIIO7GC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s01 Cheap, tested it with an old cell phone and it charged it... I'll...

    Can I ask a question about an auction that ended earlier this evening

    Yeah, it's on TV. All TV is fake. The "news" is questionable. But people want to be like TV. Not that I think Storage Wars drives real behavior, beyond sending folks to storage auctions and advertising for whatever company is pushing them nationally. But the mindset that idiocy like that is a...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Installed a couple of USB charging ports next to the driver's seat. Painted rims and swapped steer wheels. Also put the lug nut torque indicators on. Having bought some, I know realize how easy it would have been to make some on the laser cutter at work. Oops. Swapped out and dissected the...

    Can I ask a question about an auction that ended earlier this evening

    Went to the local auction yesterday. First thing they to is scan your drivers license barcode, seen people rejected right then and there. Or guys getting their "buddy" to get the bidder card and get tossed when the associate is banned. Then you actually win something with a title... The nice...

    Can I ask a question about an auction that ended earlier this evening

    Yeah, saw all the larger ammo can lots seem to suddenly have reserve prices. Of course, the reason they were going cheaper is that the number of folks who can move a thousand cans (or 10 pallets even) is lower. I just don't get why they don't just sell them a pallet at a time if they want higher...

    Axle Vents

    The pressurize was meant as an on demand when in water to help keep the water out. Not to run around in normally.

    Axle Vents

    I relocate them to the cab. Regulator and gauge to be able to pressurize is on "wish list" (strangely, the extended fam always asking for gift ideas went from "we don't want to buy gun stuff" to "we don't want to buy truck stuff")

    HMMWV impounded

    Yeah, but based on all the hoopla Tesla went through, I'd assumed a separate license was required in each state. Can't be that important I guess. WA has all the process to get the license online, but no way to search for who has one.

    Is GP a dealer in the state of CA?

    Check list for buying a 939 series 5 ton.Add your info!

    Good point, but I'd phrase it "Figure out the licensing, insurance and registration for your situation." And add: Figure out where you're gonna park it. Know the local price of common upgrades / parts so when you find one "missing" something you want you can figure out what that means. Look...

    HMMWV impounded

    Or just not deleted from an inventory when it was turned in. I assume at some point someone wanders around with a list checking to make sure everything is still there.

    Wow. Good luck.

    WA state m923a2 registration

    And multiple agencies competing to regulate the same space. I figure I'm never gonna meet a DMV clerk on the side of the road when I choose whom to listen to.

    WA state m923a2 registration

    Honestly, if you're worried call WSP down in Olympia or one of the ports of entry (Where the folks in Olympia will likely have you call if there isn't an officer in arms reach.) http://www.wsp.wa.gov/traveler/cvd.htm Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Bureau Washington State Patrol PO...
