Nice new truck. How or should I say where the hell do you find these great deals?!!!

Not sure where you are going in Florida but it would be great to check out your Dodge so if you are going to be in the Central Florida area please let me know.

Have a safe and Fun Trip.

I am finelly leaving tomarrow with the Dodge and toyhauler for Flordia and Myrtle Beech. A two week trip. But in the mean time. I bought another truck as you can see in picture below. It has a Cummins 8.3 with 10 speed overdrive. Not sure of game plan yet. I got it for $500.00. Ideas?



PS: My next hearing on Dodge has be scheduled for 5/30/2012. :(

If you could see these spacers. You would see they are of high quality. The law code says I can have 1/4 inch spacers. But I had 3 inch. But if that is the best problem he could find after the major change I did with adding 3rd axel. Then I am doing good.

Here is pic of spacers

Just catching up on this thread - missed it for a while.

One thing that might be worth checking is this: I've spoken to Leo's in both CA & UT, and the distinction between spacers & adapters makes all the difference in terms of what's legal and what's not. The way I've seen it defined is that spacers slide over the existing studs, but you still use those same studs to bolt the wheel on. Adapters are designed like your picture above - they bolt to the existing studs, and have a second set of studs for the wheel to bolt to. And it doesn't matter if the adapter is from the same bolt pattern to the same bolt pattern - they're still considered "adapters", and they're still legal - at least in CA & UT.

I don't know if this is the same where you live, but it might be worth checking into. If it's the same there, maybe you could show the pictures above and explain that they qualify as adapters, not spacers.

Looking good! Any updates on your legal issues with the pickup?

Slap a cattle guard on it a few spikes and you're ready for Mad Max IV

Lol. Yes. Had haring three days ago. Long story. Will update later. But the magistrate needs more time to research the law. :(

"...the magistrate need more time to research the law." Don't these magistrates and judges get info on a case BEFORE the case is heard??? I had a judge reschedule a child support hearing with two couples and two attorneys present because she thought a rep from Child Support should attend. It was one of those days I wish I had a roll of duct tape for my head so it didn't explode.

Best of luck to you in this one. Have you decided if you are going to run for sheriff yet?:W
