    No Need to EVER use a title service!!!

    Hmmm... I see a couple things that are (IMO) slightly problematic with this approach - although I am NOT criticizing your method or logic! 8) 1. The great State of Vermont is doing us in the MV community a huge favor by allowing this. 2. They also enjoy huge revenue from it and are the LAST...

    Purchased a Deuce ... how do title?

    Sounds like a lot of work, but then again - my summary below may sound the same to some. When I finally figured out the scam being run by the title service - it was MUCH, MUCH easier to do all of this myself. The actual TIME I spent on it was less than three hours combined, and the only "wait"...

    Deuce Vs Russian Counterpart

    I respectfully disagree. In the current multi-national units in Afghanistan that are flying Russian birds - they take a lickin' and keep on tickin' ANYTHING will eventually fail without proper maintenance. In contrast - even the most meticulously maintained equipment cannot counter the...

    Deuce Vs Russian Counterpart

    You nailed it! My son is in Afghanistan flying on Russian MI-17's and MI-23's and they simply can't be beat. We could debate the recently taken out of service (in the USAF) MH-53 PaveLow as the far superior bird, but that would be pointless... Regardless, the Russians build some nice stuff -...

    International Title Service --- A+ SERVICE!

    I posted my experience on some other forums and SURPRISE, SURPRISE... ITS has developed quite a fan club - most of whom would like to find dear JOE and give him a good old fashion blanket party.

    International Title Service --- A+ SERVICE!

    Send him a FAX demanding a refund or you will report him to VERMONT DMV and kill whatever business he may have left.

    Code Enforcement

    About your EDITS: There is a ban against making references to hurting things? Wha? I am here to tell you that I routinely CRUSH cans, SHOOT the breeze and KILL weeds - and I am not ashamed to admit it! :beer:

    I just noticed today that the deer are eatin' her new bushes and they will soon be bare. Dang... that really sux... [thumbzup]

    Code Enforcement

    I just spent the last 40 minutes reading every post in this thread. I've lived this he11 myself and it ain't no fun. Was out with my 100' tape measure beside my barn, staking out where I was gonna punch some holes for the lean-to on my pole barn. Had all the materials lined up to make sure...

    How to make a Hard Top ???

    I've been considering building my own hardtop for quite some time, and there are a couple other threads on the topic. I priced out all the materials for the Roscommon Equipment hardtop build and it will run (at today's steel prices) around $300 - excluding the rear window assembly - but similar...

    Greatings from WV.

    Southern Berkeley Co - Bunker Hill (for the last ten years) - before that Hedgesville (off of Rt 9), before that Martinsburg - and before that Hagerstown - and before THAT - many places while I was active duty... but I started out in Falling Waters down along the river. I have friends in...

    Greatings from WV.

    Welcome I'm in the Eastern panhandle, and like misterbill - I went to Maryland - but there are PLENTY around here (and many more in Virginia and Pennsylvania that are NICE). Cruise the classifieds on this site - and if you do nothing else - GET ONE WITH A CLEAR TITLE!!

    Finally decided to take some pics

    That'll work nicely. Don't forget to use shims to compensate for the increased pinion angle. My K2500 and M1009 has the same Rough Country lift. I also opted for the longer braided steel brake lines instead of the relocation brackets. I don't have any 35's like yours, but wish I did! [thumbzup]

    Finally decided to take some pics

    I don't have a picture of that one handy, but here is one of my K2500 that I did EXACTLY the same thing with 5" blocks in the rear. Rear sag was easily corrected this way. I bought the blocks from 4WheelParts for like $55 (including new u-bolts)

    Finally decided to take some pics

    Rear sag is very common. On mine I did a 4" suspension lift and picked up a set of 5" blocks and u-bolts for the rear as well as a set of shims for the driveline angle correction. It is now perfect - and has only the slightest rake to it - which actually levels out when I have a load in the back.
