I just got 4 brand spanking new mounts in yesterday for the V. PO used a couple of coat hangers to hold the exhaust up - wasn't working very well...tweeder wrote:ehh.....we gots safety wire (like bailin' whar except made of aluminum) and duct tape holding the exaust on our LJ together

Leaving out of here with the last load Friday at 9am. That'll be me with the fifth wheel, Shane with Whacker, and Jay with Sancho. Look for us at the campground about 2pm.
At least that's the plan.
One hitch right now is that the sticker on the fifth wheel license plate says 2003. Oops! Of course, I DID pull Jay's trailer with that plate on it to Seattle and back and nobody noticed. Mebbe they won't notice now. either.
As soon as Alice gets up, I'm gonna ask her pointedly about that (she's in charge of getting license renewals).

It helps to live outside the Seattle city limits. My friends in the city have been paying a "monorail tax" the past few years, to cover the cost of expanding the monorail. The plan got axed last year, and after this year they won't have to pay anymore. Tags for a $20,000 car ran $300-$350 per year; for me it's only $33.75.

Just talked the tag thing over with Alice. She's NEVER seen a renewal notice and never thot about it. Guess it ain't been renewed since we bought it in 2003. Man, that's gonna cost me in back fees and penalties to bring it up to date.

Can you claim non-operational status somehow? Or sell it to your son for $5, transfer title to him, he registers it current, then sells it back to you for $5. When I bought the V, it hadn't been registered since '91, and I didn't have to pay anything extra.

Michigan just recently went to permanant trailer plates- $75. Non transferable.
I can see some trailers will be like the guy that had the same axe for 50 years... third head and seventh handle, but it's the same axe!
When I rebuild my 47 year old sailboat trailer, I think the only thing to carry over will be the paint color!

Welp, I'm pulling out in 30 minutes for the first run to Oklahoma with the LJ's. Should be back home around 7 pm. This could be the biggest disaster since Chernobyl. Wish me luck.

I'm back. 2 hrs ahead of schedule
Trip was long but fairly uneventful. The worst part was not enough tongue weight on the trailer, so at anything over 50 mph, the dratted thing would wag like a dog's tail. That's a long damn trip at 50 mph.
Had one scare when a cop pulled in behind me and looked me over. Apparently he wasn't bothered a bit by no tags on the trailer, 'cause he just went on after a bit.
NOW I'm gonna have a beer or six.

Well, Shane's finishing up Whacker tonite and tomorry. Here's a couple of pics. Test fitting him on the trailer and the new front stinger/winch bumper Shane fabbed.
BTW: That's MY winch on that bumper.
Mebbe tomorry I'll take a pic of the rear bumper and spare tire carrier.

Oh, one thing I fergot about the trip. Whilst I wuz gassing Xena in Pleasanton, Ks., a guy fueling a trash truck next to me swore he knew where one of "them there suzukis juss like dat one" was behind a guy's barn.
I gave him my phone number.
