    Nevada - 5 ton's license plates pulled by DMV

    I was quoting Nevada statutes....to help his Nevada issue....and saying that, similarly, their DOL/DMV/MVA might not know what they're doing, only doing it because they THINK they should be doing it... As far as WA goes, WSP and CVE already told DOL to shove it where the sun don't shine. :D I...

    Nevada - 5 ton's license plates pulled by DMV

    I would read the actual LAW and prepare for a fight. Here in WA, the DOL (The state version of DMV/MVA) is STILL giving bad information ref: GVWR and CDL requirements. A CDL is for COMMERCIAL purposes. My 5 ton is NOT a commercial vehicle because it does NOT meet the definition of a commercial...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Why Yagi? Mobile would work better with an omnidirectional antenna, IMO.... I usually run LMR240 in my mobile installs, but I'm assuming you have some LMR400 laying around? :-p How are you going to handle the length difference when extended vs retracted?

    M934A2 Camper/RV Build or Bringing Sasquatch to life...

    I plan on removing the slideout portions in mine... Yeah, you lose some space, but having EVERYTHING accessible is worth it. I also plan on putting in a roof hatch for roof access. I too spent HOURS thinking of a layout that would work with it enclosed AND open, but because of the way the walls...

    PNW Info Thread!

    Umm... A few issues with this.. 1. Restored license plates don't require tabs.. so, if you bring in a license plate without tabs, they can't tell you it doesn't fit that year provided that it's that SERIES 2. See above - As long as the plate matches that SERIES, Ie the group of years in which...

    Buying a M939 at auction: What to look for and to be prepared to fix

    More parts = more complexity = more things to go wrong. KISS Of course, if you turbo the 250 you're adding complexity as well.. :-p If the turbo fails on the mouse motor, you're #(%&#(&, if the turbo fails on the NHC250 ...oh..wait.. what turbo? :-p I will say that the engine is more of a...

    M813 straight piped

    I drove my M934 from Bragg to Lewis (NC to WA). Even with earplugs, every time I stopped for a break, it'd take a good 10-20 mins to stop 'hearing' the engine... I'm gonna check clearances for mounting the muffler under the cab, and dump 90* to the ground, just past the air line bleeders...

    Buying a M939 at auction: What to look for and to be prepared to fix

    The NHC250 is a better, more reliable engine, IMO... Not to mention cost of maintenance and parts... You don't get that with an A2... It will be easier to start in the cold, but you're relying on a turbo for your power. It is slightly more efficient, but it's also more complicated. IMO, the...

    Considering a M927 or M928 to live in...

    If it's a decent auction, expect it to go higher than 8K..... probably more... they're pretty rare... if everything is good, I'd venture to say 11-13k.....
