No. It's not just weight, it's weight AND use, in WA. Not all states are the same...

They're compliant with FMVSS, because they're exempt from FMVSS. This is per NHTSA and was settled years ago. Even Congress critters got involved. States don't care because they don't want them on the road and have a 'F#%& you, sue us if you don't like it' attitude. It's not a safety issue...

Collector's vehicles cannot be used to haul a load. Enforcement is at the discretion of the officer. Technically, it would be illegal to haul a military trailer with a dummy 2000lb bomb on it used for displays, because it's a 'load', however one could argue that it's part of the trailer. The...

DOL is wrong. The law, being RCW, is correct. DOL doesn't make or enforce law. You need a CDL to drive a commercial vehicle. A 5 ton, by definition, is not a commercial vehicle unless used in commerce. Other states have different laws. TX for example would require a minimum class B non-CDL...

Don't need a CDL in WA for 5 ton if it's for personal use. If you're hauling stuff for hire, that's a different story.

CBS reporting 155 MPH winds. Cat 5 starts @ 157 MPH.

Tornadoes also being reported south of Orlando.

Not good. Took a sharp turn and landfall is expected near Cape Coral.... 110+MPH gusts expected w/ 20' storm surge.

Revised estimates show direct landfall in Tampa, downtown including the hospital is expected to be flooded... Now expected to land as Cat 3.

https://nypost.com/2022/09/26/florida-orders-300000-to-evacuate-ahead-of-hurricane-ian/ Ian has tracked a little to the east, and Tampa is now expecting 5-10 ft storm surge and torrential rains which could cause substantial flooding.

That plate looks like garbage, IMO. 'Surplus'? Really? TX looks better.... :D

Just a friendly reminder to keep yourself safe and know the limitations and maintenance requirements of your equipment. Test your generators, know deep water fording techniques, know the maintenance required when water goes over the axles, check your vent tubing, etc..

FRP or some people use corrugated galvanized roof sheets.

I call it 'learning to speak dumb@$$'.. Because you're bound to run into them, and you gotta speak at their level, in a way they'll understand.... :ROFLMAO:

I guess I'm answering my own question but, it seems like I can find M35s every day and twice on Tuesday, but searching major sites like Facebook and Craigslist found me ONE for sale in the entire country. Were not as many manufactured and/or surplused?

No doubt. My experience is anecdotal, of course.... Just saying I personally had good luck with it. Project Farm wasn't around back then ;) For my application, it was mounting emergency vehicle equipment (sirens, light controllers, radios,etc) on the back walls of F150s and F250s which can't...

I used liquid nails construction adhesive for adhering wood to metal all the time. These were mobile applications for on and off road use. I found out during removal it was easier to just leave them in there as the wood would break before the adhesive did.... I'd be pulling out slivers of wood...

As usual, I tend to overthink things... Realistically, in my opinion, with modern greases, any grease I choose should be better than what was around when the deuce was manufactured, but that's not always the case.... So, I'm looking at bearing grease.... and the options are endless.. Lithium...
