The good news so far is -- I've titled and licensed the truck! Wow -- a BUNCH of taxes! Federal tax exceeded 24K and state sales taxes of another 20K...

Then the girl at DOL says I must have a D.O.T. number... and hands me a pamphlet. Crap! Okay -- I come home and go to the website to attempt to register on line for the number. EVERYTHING is asking me about commercial carrier stuff. I give up - - Call the Washington State Patrol... I get the nicest most helpful officer in the entire UNIVERSE!

He tells me I don't need a CDL nor do I need any DOT numbers or anything else special... AS LONG AS I'M NON-Commercial and towing a "recreational vehicle" (lucky I have living quarters) and that I should paint "PRIVATE NOT FOR HIRE" on the doors or side of the tow vehicle. He says that alone will get me a free pass. DONE.

:woot:

I can make some die-cut not for hire decals for you if you like.

You're right Charlie... somebody might volunteer to photoshop it for me.

Sweet, I think if you were to do something to the bumper have that piece powder coated? I was a snap on dealer and the front of the truck kind of takes a beating, Maybe put clear bra on it? and a couple of the naked lady trucker mudflaps on the back, ( cowboy bling) believe me I live in wyo and see it all, congratulations on the new toy, :yes:

What do you think about some signage like: "Ass, Grass, or Gas.... Nobody rides for free"


Would that make me "commercial".... I dunno...:lol:

Yeah -- there's about 2 football fields of flat area on the nose.... The good thing is that I won't put all that much milage on it. I'm thinking if I do 20,000 a year that might be a lot. Hard to tell yet - but it's only a 2,000 mile round trip to go down and bug the hell out of Charlie....

Guess it really depends if Gwen decides she wants to go trailer truckin'.... and I'm thinking probably not much. :unibrow:

Welcome, I also have black background magnetic film (sorry no white) if you could get away with magnetic signage.

I have some really special rainbow shaded vinyl too. :unibrow:

That said do you have renderings of the paint scheme to share yet?

Ass gas or grass theme..........

I think that Sieg must be a close friend the way he's bustin your balls with the rainbow cheech and chong sign, If you get bored cruise it up to wyo and we'll take a road trip through the park with a couple of hotrods, Will try to meet you in vegas next week, Grandmaster W.:hail:
