    Huntsville City Limits weight restrictions

    Ack. I just saw this thread. Too bad you didn't have an out in the law like I did. It looks like it's more constraining on the citizens. I would however complain to your city council. Get all the local MV owners together and go and have a sit down. They might adjust the ordinances. You don't...

    Compliance with DOT???

    As to weigh stations, my two long trips to PA and back and other trips around the regions for events saw me running through the weight stations and I was only pulled aside once. That was so they could eyeball the armoured car because they thought it was unusual AND just wanted to ask me...

    Compliance with DOT???

    I will note, that I have even spoken to Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration staffers who were unaware of the finer details of the not for profit private trucks. In one instance while trying to deal with the County, I was double checking some notes to make sure the regs hadn't changed got...

    Compliance with DOT???

    This is where knowing the regulations in depth is more appropriate. Question 21: Does the exemption in §390.3(f)(3) for the ‘‘occasional transportation of personal property by individuals not for compensation nor in the furtherance of a commercial enterprise’’ apply to persons who...

Squirt Truck, a buddy of his and I got some lunnette eyes off some trailers to move them to different heights with an Air Hammer attachment. Just the vibrations on the side of...

    Battery cable connector crimpers? What to buy?

    Clinto, I just saw this thread. I have some humongus crimpers at work. I can either crimp them here or lend you the tool if you need it for something attached to the truck. It does AWG 4 up to AWG 0000 iirc.

    Double Towing?

    GL would naturally put the forks through the side of the scion. Better is to get someone to go with you and drive the scion back.

    4 wheel steering on a deuce?anyone done it?

    What about putting the 2nd steering axle in place of the intermediate axle and having the last one fixed? Then you'd just be linking the two and having the second axle turn a smaller amount than the first. How you get the driveline working on that, I'm not sure.

    'It depends on the section and the code in question. Everyone construes the 14,000 lb limit to be curb weight not GVW. That's how the tag office does it. However, I'd like to remove that constraint so if you have a 1945 civilian Autocar, you can tag it as a historic/antique vehicle. And if you...

    Georgia MV Bill...

    We've had tracked vehicles before. Other states allow halftracks with rubber band tracks. Frankly, I'm sure the halftrack guys would LOVE to be able to run their trucks down the road on occasion. If only to have some fun. Tracked vehicles don't in fact cause damage to the if they have rubber...

    Note, the Historic Military license plate has NO limiting age. You get your hands on a prototype FMTV or one you rebuild, and it looks reasonably well (reasonably construed). The historic condition bit is to separate the historic MVs from the others. A jeep painted up in pink isn't going to be...
