12,000 watts on a 5000 watt genset just won't go. You're going to have to do some load management or get a bigger generator.

It isn't that they don't know. They don't care. They want all the big Green scary trucks off the road. Educating them won't solve this.

I wouldnt risk it. That trip to Home Depot is a *CRIME*, not just a ticket, if you get caught.

Here's my take on it. Free advice and probably worth what you pay for it - The VA law looks designed to relegate MV's to this severely restricted plate and that plate only. The state police have stated they'll fail any MV presented to them for inspection. So, unless you're OK with that...

I suspect the switch is wired wrong or faulty.

A set of towbars pays for themselves the first time they are used. Lots of people in your area with vehicles capable of towing a deuce if you break down.

Severe duty does not necessarily mean finer filtration. Severe duty typically means more surface area so that it takes more dirt to clog it before you start seeing reduction in airflow. The additional surface area typically flows more air when clean than a standard duty. If you want to tamper...

I am continually amazed at what people consider an "upgrade". Trading filtering efficency for potentially more airflow will almost certainly not flow enough more air to make any perceptible difference. It will, however, most likely flow enough more dirt and grit to make a measurable difference...

Flail chest syndrome is nothing to be taken lightly. In the crash you describe, it'd rate #1 or possibly #2 as high priority. So far from the least of your concerns and more like the most.....

So we learned several things here - 1) This action is certainly prompted by people registering hmmwv's. 2) The state of LA can't differentiate a 6x6 2 1/2 ton truck from a 4x4 hmmwv. 3) The senator in question prefers to remain anonymous.

But this speaks to my comment earlier about the SF-97's. What if the amended bill passes, you get a matching title, but then Idaho DOT refuses registration because you don't have a copy of the SF-97? (I know that's not your intent, but as I read it, that's what the amendment could be...

I had a guy try to run tubes on the bolt together 5ton combat rims. It didn't work well - they were always getting perforated. While the tires can be run with or without tubes, the 2 piece bolt together wheels are not designed to be used with tubes. I realize a 5ton rim and an A3 deuce rim...

Push rod or connecting rod? Thanks for the follow up by the way.

You'd think that the law would set the inspection standards and the state police would have to adhere to those standards, applying the same rules to everything evenly. As it appears to be written, the inspection standards can be arbitrarily applied unevenly by the state police, failing your...

Is inspection a recurring event? Or is it just once when you first title it?

It looks like it is designed to get all the big scary green trucks off the road, Edited again because i decided i said too much that might lead to a thread derail...

That looks like it grandfathers in current owners with their current usage intact. Am I missing something?

Do you like manual transmissions? I like the truck tractors for their shorter wheelbase. It's trivial to swap out the 5th wheel for a shortened 9-12' cargo bed...

I don't think they have it confused with a hmmwv. I think this is a case where the left leaning nannystate wants to rid the roads of all the big scary green trucks. Let's just hope it doesn't metastasize and spread. ..

"Proving contractually-required compliance with FMVSS-equivalent requirements has already been done. The MIL-STD-1180-B document has already been accepted by a Wis. court as demonstrating that FMVSS and the MIL-STD requirements are the same. Other courts would typically consider this prior...
