Its a vanity, im in PA... no front plate required.
I got stopped in Utah for not having a front plate. The cop told me that he was writing me a ticket and I told him Arkansas doesn't issue two plates and the one they issue is required to be put on the rear. He looked at me like he couldn't believe I had said what I said, and he said, "You're in Utah."

How long do warrants remain active on tickets people skip on?

That was a stupid cop. Coulda made him look like a fool in court.

*edit*
Please note, I have no gripes with law enforcement officers... just the stupid ones that don't know the laws they are enforcing.

He was playing the odds, and hoping I would fall for his bull**it. Small towns write tickets on out-of-state plates for anything, and the towns make money on the people that are too lazy to figure it out.

Yeah, I got shafted in Florida once. He knew I wasn't going to fight the BS ticket.

We (my son and I) continued the long process of identifying issues on our "new" truck. We found and repaired a bunch of bad wiring, identified the transmission, and figured out what a bunch of vacuum items that are not hooked up are (all emissions stuff so they will be going away).

I discovered that 2WD long boxes with old tires don't like icy & wet snow. I moved the truck off the lift and out of the shop so a friend could work on their daughter's car then I got stuck with my front tires bumped against the hard drift beside the cleared sidewalk at the end of our back alley - needed a push from the friend and his mechanic son and my son. Then we needed to push and get a run at it to get back up onto the lift - but sliding the back end to line up for the lift was easy - just spin the tires while they pushed it sideways.

My 12-year-old son learnt valuable lessons today and that is one of the reasons we got this truck.

Awesome SQ….

I put some aluminum steps on the K30, it took me a bit of time to get them reinforced to my liking. They are a great addition to the truck, much easier to get into.. I would love some nice stout running boards on this truck, but the dual tanks don’t give much room to mount them. At least I couldn’t locate any that would fit.

I still don't like the rainX you apply directly to the windshield but that's just cuz I suck at putting it on lol. I just put the RainX washer fluid and wiper blades in everything I own, let that do the work for me :anitoof:
