I say, let's use foreign oil and gas now and save our own for when the other countries run dry.

I worked at a company that designs, tools, and molds electrical connectors. To properly describe a connector we used two terms. 1) Is it a receptacle or a plug? A plug goes in to a receptacle. 2) Is it male or female? A male connector has pins, prongs, a bump in the case of a contact...

Once saw a guy in an SUV on a cell phone with one hand and writing something on one of those notepads that sticks to the windshield with a suction cup, pass me at about 85-90 mph on the freeway. Several miles up the road he was in the median, having rolled several times before coming to a stop...

So the obvious difference (besides the failure) is that the ARB gear is machined and the knock-off is simply cast or maybe forged.

Can a bottle of water be both your "water source" and your "toilet" if used in that order?

You need a Class C, non-commercial, CDL or better to legally drive it because of the weight (similar to the chauffeurs license I had in Michigan, but with more written and road testing required here in IL). However, there is still some question, which I have yet to see resolved on these boards...

If you live in IL, you'd better read this... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce-modification-hot-rodding/31496-legal-bumper-height.html

That was a lot of text to read thru, so I didn't. I just want to know if this virgin you recovered is over 18, reasonably attractive, single, has a good sense of humor, and wants to get dinner some time.

Just giving a link to the DMV for a state is useless, IMO. Anyone should be able to find that on their own. You really need the specific laws which can be hard to find. The whole text doesn't need to be listed, necessarily, but the title, section, paragraph, etc. should be referenced. Sure...

I think it would be a great idea, but I think input from multiple people is needed. If only one person posts you must assume they know everything. Maybe set up a section where each state has its own thread. Perhaps divide the state thread further in to state laws/regs (maybe seperating...

I heard that all Canadians live in igloos because you can't sink a foundation through the permafrost. Global warming is changing that though and more Canadians are leaving their melting igloos for more American-style housing. In fact, they built an refrigerated dome over the National Igloo...

This is pure peppermint and spearmint oil (no alcohol or other cutting agents) and things made with mint oil from Michigan farms. Good company that I have dealt with before. Pure Mint Oil In my cars, I used to use moth balls to keep out mice and other critters, but the smell takes half the...

Tell the owner to title it and offer to pay the fees. If he doesn't have the right paperwork to title it himself, it sounds like you'll be stuck going through one of the title services. Seems to me that most of the recent posts I've read about the title services have been about problems. But...

Discount Tire will sipe tires, but I don't know if there machine will handle tires that large. You can do it yourself, but the machine will ensure a constant depth and even spacing. Of your pictures, I would go with 3, but I don't think you need to alternate the angle in the center.

I'm still trying to understand if a deuce can legally be operated in Illinois without being registered commercial (or historic), due to IL bumper and frame height requirements. Or, if registered commercial, can it be operated in non-commercial manner? For example, say I register a truck as...

Most larger construction equipment is 24 volt and newer models often have xenon work lamps. You should be able to pick them up at a dealer. The CAT ones are self-contained (no separate ballast), don't know about others. The come in different sizes, but are usually square or rectangle with 2-...

Can the IL SOS issue a title, registration, plates, and tags, for a (stock) vehicle that does not meet the legal requirements to be driven on the state's roadways?

Any new insight in to this issue?
