Before I bought my truck, my DMV rep told me to try to get a state DMV issued title. She said it will make it much easier to title it in VA. Apparently they have problems with SF97's. Let's see how it goes on Wed.
You scored big on the extra stuff in the tool box. I'm jealous. Knowing these things are big, especially when backing up; I am going to add in a backup camera and monitor. There are some since ones out there with hd cameras with NV and 5,7 or 9 inch monitors. Only drawback is they are 12...
I know that Va requires the lic plate light. I have heard that as far as a reverse backup light that if it did not come with one, then you are good. I also looked at the inspection criteria and they did not specify. It would not surprise me if they did require it. Other than that, there...
Just got my title from GL. I was expecting a SF97, but instead got a Title from the Arizona DMV. I'm not complaining. I was just very surprised. It took 24 days to get it. Now I get to go to the VA DMV to get it titled and registered. 24volt lic plate light kit from Erik's is due tomorrow...
Ok - The Duplicolor rubberized undercoat finally dried in the sun today. It turns out that the Rustolem Camo paint works on Plastic too. I hit part of it with Camo Green paint. It is drying now. I also bought a can of the Rustolem Flexible sealant, I will try that in another spot, but will...
Nice Truck - Hopefully you get it passed thru inspections. I will get ready to do mine in Va once my SF 97 comes from GL. I really like the 934a2, but got a 923a2 because I have some work I need to do at a farm. Good Luck and welcome to the club.
That is interesting too. Not sure I want to lose my high beams. I bought a set of the Truck-lite LED Headlights from another SS member for a good price. I am leaning towards a fused positive coming off the battery and then running the LEDs. I am planning on putting in a keyed battery...
Thanks Will - I was doing some search on those lights. Retail is not the way to go. I like your way of wiring. I am not a big fan of cutting into the existing wiring harness. Looks like I am going to have to do some searching ebay or run some other style of LED lights. There are some really...
Superman - I know this is an older post from April 2013. I am a relatively new member with a M923a2. I really like the fire research scene lights you have. You did exactly what I was thinking about doing to my truck. I had a couple of questions if you don't mine answering. !. What is a good...
Update - I sprayed a 2' x 2' test area on the roof. It was 65 degree outside, product says use on over 70 degrees. Product says dries in 10 minute. 24 hours later, it is drying, but not totally dry. if you rub it, even were dry, it rubs off. I am hoping once I paint it with the Krylon...
Insurance can be tricky. USAA works with Progressive's commerical division. They were really good with me. They understood about members buying surplus trucks. The one thing they did stress was liability insurance. These are big trucks and they will cause major damage when they get in a wreck...
Triple C is right. Explore this website. Figure out what location you want to bid from. Remember, you may have to pay to have the truck delivered to you. Depending on the distance and if you can find a decent rate, plan on spending between $1000 - $2000 for hauling. Find a good mechanic near...
GoldenEagle - That is an awesome ideal. I might have to try that or at least try a test spot. Looking at my cover, the black and brown were sprayed over the green. That would explain why only the green has faded.
Thanks - I did not even think about that. I just sent them a message and will post the answer. It would be great if there is a product that was available as I really don't need to replace the cargo cover yet.
Question to the site. I have a M923a2 with the cargo cover. The sides and 85% of the roof are in great shape. Only on part of the roof, part of the green colored areas has the top faded and is starting to show the white fibers. Underneath those areas the top is like new. I really don't feel...
Eriks has the weather seals in a kit. Also look at the window guides on the doors, my windows lean outward when rolled up and don't even touch the seals, plus it they did they are somewhat dry rotted. Eastern Surplus and a couple of the other vendors listed on this site have some of the parts...
