San Antonio

Are they legal in the us

 

Legal schmegal

Horn-check.
Lights-check.
Blinkers-check.
Mirrors-check.

Legal enough.

I'm way more excited about an engine swap right now though.

 

Emissions buddy

 

Gonna have to do some serious research. I was already snaking money away for a S/C. I'd rather have a diesel. By the time it's on the road I imagine it would be similar in cost.

 

Can't be worse than a lot of the Dodge and Chevy and Ferd diesels I see daily. Plus 4WD diesel pickup - sounds like a farm truck to me

Again, gonna have to do some research.

 

It's like why are mid 90s Nissan skilines illegal in the us there practically race cars with no cats

 

They got grandfathered in like cars without shoulder harnesses did.

I've never had a vehicle emissions tested before so I am clueless about that. I've only ever known commiefornia to be sticklers about it.

 

I was reading why they dont sell hulix here it's because of chicken tax

 

Ribs are bought, in a cooler, will be getting the rub soonly.
Reports are the Trailer-Que has arrived in CenTex!

 

For starters, you a BUILDING your own vehicle, for private use. Import laws don't apply unless you IMPORT a vehicle wholly assembled, that is not approved,
second, Texas inspection is a SAFTETY inspection only. No emissions,
third, yes California, New York (city), and various large metro areas have emissions testing for registering a vehicle IN that area.

EDIT - I don't remember but Houston proper might still have one. Austin did for a while, but when overall things got better, they dropped it.

So, this here being Texas, do what the hell you want, if it stops, lights up properly, and has a seatbelt.

 

well my insurance company is advising me to start taking my stuff out of the truck

 

( I think that means winning!)

 

That anything like the Chicken Dance?

 

take pics of anything modded they won't let you remove. I don't know why, but I read it somewhere, and seems like reasonable advice. Plus, it's free.

 

Hey Kevin!

 

Hey Kurt
How goes?

 

Good! Washed the truck and have almost all the leftover compound off, but it will take a hand wash for sure.
Friend visiting SA got lots of advice from y'all, thanks, and going to see what we can hook up to do next week!
And rubbing some ribs down tonight for the BBQ Bday.
