    deuce with dolly in use

    Pretty sure that's not a duece, quite possible a 5 or 10 ton. Cool none the less. Most dollies can be used though as the pintle and lunette are the same height and size. Being that many states no longer allow triples you might be able to find some surplus...

    Deuce tire/rim break down.

    WD40 has aliphatic hydrocarbons which tend to break down organic hydrocarbons found in petroleum. As they are both Hyrdocarbons they both aid in lubrication however being that many moving parts are lubed with grease/oil and other organic hydrocarbons the introduction of a product like WD-40...

    News: USAA will start insuring deuces and other MVs in the fall

    I have mine through State Farm they had to send it to the underwriter for approval, and its a case by case basis but I'm covered on a personal policy. However its just liability...

    M35A2 Brake Master Cylinder

    Alright along the same lines, my question is after checking and finding it low do you have to put everything back when you bleed the lines. I ask cause mine has no brakes, most likely its all leaked out and there is now air in the lines. I say this cause the first driver side drive tire drum...

    Legal bumper height?

    *Called and looked into this. ND DMV doubles the shipping weight for its registration, as a standard practice. However the HP doesn't use the vehicle registration as the determining factor for CDL. CDL is based on GVW which for me is 23526. The HP says I have the right to register the...

    Legal bumper height?

    I agree and now that I am looking into it further it appears the sate mucked up. I'll have to send my tags in for adjustment. I'm thinking the state adds to the registration to get more funds. I just found that according to state law Motorcycle registration is $15 flat, mines $28...by raising...

    Legal bumper height?

    I agree, by a similar nature, I already mentioned in CA pickups require Commercial plates, but not a Class A. There is a difference between vehicle registration and drivers licensing. I think this thread has done a poor job of distinguishing between the two. BTW CA rates pickups at the...

    Legal bumper height?

    I suspect there are other issues elsewhere but most people just play dumb. And really I've never been pulled over, I'm illegal as sin atm. Cali has the triple axle rule not many ways around that unless your bobed... reg 27052 dry weight 13562 I'll do some more research...

    Legal bumper height?

    I got the same Data plate but ND doesn't read it the same way. They add their own figure to the curb and load. Mine is registered at 27300. I asked they are fixed, not all states do the same. What does your pink slip read? As a point of reference my K1500 is registered at 10000. The may...

    Legal bumper height?

    There is a difference in GVW and GVWR, in ND anything over 26000 GVWR which a duece is, requires a CDL. No being classified as commercial doesn't necessarily mean you need a CDL, for example a pick-up truck in CA requires commercial tags but the GVW is less than required for a CDL. If you have...

    Legal bumper height?

    OP talked to his LE. Many states govern their drivers license classes by GVWR, I am only directly familiar with CA and ND. In ND Class D only covers to 26000GVWR in CA a Class C only covers triple axle trucks up to 10000GVW. In either case your over the limit, with an M35. So a Class A is...

    Legal bumper height?

    CDL required in a lot of states regardless of use. The states gotta make some cash on the abuse a 13K vehicle makes on the road. Its required here in ND as well...

    Legal bumper height?

    Not all body laws are under the realm of non moving violations. Some infractions are guilty without prior infraction. Meaning they can pull you over for it. Most states vehicle dimensions are allowed to be pulled over directly. Usually due to head lamp or tail light heights. Because they...

    Legal bumper height?

    In ND the law specifically relates to "modified Motor vehicles" in which case in regards to bumper height. However this section only applies to vehicles that have a dry weight before modification of 7000lbs or less. However certain other requirments are covered under other regs, for example...
