    SF97 RV Registration?

    when I have registered deuces and 5 tons in the past I have just told them how much it weighed and that was what they put on the title, they have no idea what any of this stuff is. Especially when on your SF97 you can put down any weight you want on it and just present that to the DOL.

    SF97 RV Registration?

    After looking at the WA Matrix a little more I think I am in the clear, if I remove the 5th wheel and sell in to Soni ;) then I am no longer a combination vehicle. Curb weight is 30k, I am ditching the drop axle and some extra stuff and I can fudge the weight #'s a little on the registration I...

    SF97 RV Registration?

    In WA state they use to allow semi's to register as an RV and within the last 5 years or so realized the lost revenue potential and stopped doing it, now I think that anyone who already had it done was grandfathered so I know there are a lot of them still running around the state. The DOT told...

    SF97 RV Registration?

    I purchased my M920 and WA state's DOT, DOL, DMV dept do not have the same views on things. My desire it to register my truck as an RV toter but the state says they will not convert a commercial truck title to RV without an inspection and I have to have a toilet and a bed to be an rv. So my...

    A nifty tool for fuel leaks....

    I have a pen style air gun that you twist and has a pencil style nozzle, I twist it so the pressure is low and jam it in the rubber hose. It will keep it under pressure as long as you need. On my 5 ton's I always ditch the selector valve if it has one and replace all the soft lines(cheap...

    A nifty tool for fuel leaks....

    I always took off the vent line and stuffed my blow gun to the tank side and it has always worked great.

    M819 RECEIVES NTC400!!

    I don't know why this has not been discussed before, great alternative to cutting up the hood and real easy to do, steering is the only challenge for a 3-4" body lift.

    M915a5

    You are right, the uparmour looks sick. I really like the fact that the army is putting a little sleeper on these rigs.. So many fond memories of sleeping on the steering wheel of the trucks I drove.

    M915a5

    I would like to have one of these in the 916 variant when it comes out, they look a lot tougher than the 915's getting surplussed right now. The old 920's are the s*$t. I can't wait to get mine, hurry up you demonic EUC!!!

    Overkill Customs

    heck no, if you can make my vision your reality please do. This thing is I have a knuckle boom that I have considered putting on my 920 as well and I do not want to shorted the bed anymore than it is so its either the crew cab or knuckle boom.. I have a feeling the knuckle boom will win for now.

    Pineville LA assistance M920

    if you can schedule the pickup for a day I am there I would be happy to test out my winch to load your truck. Or whatever you need help with. My tentative plan is to leave my home the night of the 1st and to be in LA the morning of the 2nd to begin my trip home. If anyone else wants to...
