What if I want to drive 4 hours away to an offroad park just to putt around and watch others. I think that would be a tad much for "maintenance" ... plus if it comes back slightly muddy. How would I explaint that? Officer I was just making sure the 6 wheel was working properly.

If you are speaking of historically tags...No then it is called a "rally" to "show" your vehicle.. this is covered, well at least it is covered here in KY. I could drive to CA as long as it was going to a rally. I can also drive it to an auto parts store as long as it is related to the MV. Basically as long as it is related to the hobby and not just driving to drive it is covered.

Texas law states that it can be used for parades, shows and "items of public interest", which I read as "rolling MV show". As I understand it, Texas Former MV registration simply restricts commercial and daily driver usage, otherwise you are pretty much cool.

I think you are in for a lot of work and expense if you register as a "Texas Truck", all the DOT regs will drive you crazy, clearance lights, mud flaps etc... not to mention the insurance!

Hmm, oh well I got it registered as a MV and all is good.

Just wondering if it holds it's air pressure for a month?

Sweet! What part of "south CenTex" are you in? We should have a "Deuce In", maybe at the Airsho in Temple in May.

I live in Stephenville. My best friend is from Killeen. I grew up around Copperas Cove. I was asst. manager of the O'Reillys in Belton for almost 2 years back in 06-07. But at the end of May ( May 23-25 to be exact) I am going to Alto, (Shiloh Ridge) to go 4 wheeling for Memorial day.

As for holding air pressure no. But it will hold it for several days. It does get up to 90 psi really quickly though. I guess I just didn't look immediately after he started it.

That works out, the Airsho is the first weekend in May!

I may have to make it up there. My truck is no where near show quality. It is a toy and I plan on treating it like one. It has already seen its fair share of offroad abuse.

A Deuce is a Deuce, I will be up there living in my M109A3, Reloader64 will be there with his M35A2, M813rc is planning to bring his M813, Sarge usually brings his M820 and there will also be a M818, likely at least one other M35A2 and some little jeep thingies too...

 

[IHASFIP]

I'll see what I can do.

I was just in Bluffdale last Dec. I went to Craig Cameron's ranch for a week long horse clinic.
Isn't Stephenville the next town over? I fell in love with the area!!! If I could I would move there in a flash.

Yea, bluffdale is 10 minutes away. Stephenville is 15,000 population. Cowboy capital of the world. Only, I am not one of them.
