    Deuce bumper illegal in CT

    Ok, so I went outside and started power washing the 818 and started having some serious thoughts about life and stuff and why today is a crapy day for me and I started to realize where CSM Davis is coming from. When we do our pre-plans with the fire dept and I go into an office and I see...

    Deuce bumper illegal in CT

    The law doesn't apply to off road vehicles, only to vehicles registered for road use. So....as long as it is registered for on road use and on the road.... Let me ask you, what would you cite someone who has no brake lights?

    Deuce bumper illegal in CT

    Also, I'm sorry if I seem a little cross. Today has been a bad day. Had to drive an hour and to Mcomb, MS to deliver a motorcycle only to have the party call me and tell me they would be another 2-3 hours. Sitting in a wal-mart parking lot for 3 hours really puts you in a mood, then having to...

    Thank you. +1 on locking it, it is spiraling down hill with no hopes of going back to the original topic.

    Unplug your tail lights and let me know how it goes with the cops.

    Deuce bumper illegal in CT

    The minute you add the ability to disconnect full power to all safety warning lights, no longer meets it. Look I'm done on this. The one who originally made the statement hasn't even spoken up, and here I am defending it. I'm not in law enforcement, just fire fighting, hold a cdl, and spent...

    Deuce bumper illegal in CT

    I agree with you 100% That is why mv's don't comply from inception, they weren't intended to be put on the highway in the beginning. They were a specialty build with exemptions. I would imagine you would pull me over if I forgot to put my service lights on just light you would pull over any...

    Deuce bumper illegal in CT

    The hmmvw is still in the class 3 weight standard. The hmmvw is essentially a gm 3500 short bed. My comment still stands, no military vehicle will meet a minimum federal standard set for class 1 to class 8 vehicles. The lights automatically disqualify it for meeting it.

    Your right, but also by that thinking ever vehicle manufactured for the military after the mandate to require airbags should have come with them.

    Deuce bumper illegal in CT

    Umm, even military vehicles today don't meet minimum safety requirements. Where are the airbags, reinforcement in the doors for side impact? Lights can be completely disabled, yep that doesn't meet minimum safety standards. The military has a list of specifications that need to be meet and...

    Anybody ever won 2 auctions by accident??

    Glad it was a good trip. Now comes the fun part, learning every inch of it and fixing what the military didn't.

    Tire safety.

    Well I laughed at the middle one, "well shoot", a little to much indeed.

    What is this truck?

    It's beautiful, defiantly prime mover though. Almost thought it was for the RGN lowboys but no roller on the back. Buy it and restore it.

    My "new" M923A2 is sitting in the driveway

    My truck didn't have the vic system so no headsets, just shouting. In the army if it had wheels, I drove it. Everything from a CUCV to a HET (1070), and track vehicles. Yep, they shake, rattle, and roll! A lot of us love driving them, for me it's therapeutic, for the mind, not the back. As far...

    My "new" M923A2 is sitting in the driveway

    Safety Safety Safety, if you have to think is it a good idea, it isn't. I remember when we convoyed from Kuwait to Iraq there was one little stretch that I swore I was going to loose my 934 expando. As a SPC / E-4 on my first deployment my pucker factor was already about a 8, on that little...

    My "new" M923A2 is sitting in the driveway

    They are a great read, put them on a kindle, ipad, or any other tablet and take them to the can. Read them as a bed time story to your wife, they will surly put her to sleep, lol It's like watching the clear eyes commercial over and over and over.

    Don't feel bad. Just remember, this is the internet, tone and convection can never be understood correctly in text. Nah, I just wanted to throw a little humor in the mix with the pic. These trucks are a best, and someone who has driven them a lot, along with fire trucks all I can say is be...
