    Not sure if I've done it right or not? The money you sink in these trucks is amazing. I've not really done much but know what the extras have cost!
    Can't imagine the money spent on some of these trucks.

    Hi and welcome!
    The wheeling is kinda hard to come by not many places to play that I know of.
    Looked at some of your pics!
    Nice truck looks like you do some wheeling with it.
    Any way welcome to Vt.

    yea we'll be looking to explore all around NE...between VT, NH and ME...it'll be different wheeling for sure, but getting out for multi-day exploring is what we love to do these days...

    might spend some time north of the border over the years too...

    seems like vehicle laws are pretty relaxed in VT correct? you guys have inspections?

    edit: yes you do...

    might have some work to do to get the truck up to spec :D

    any issues with tire size? tires sticking out? modified suspension? headlight retrofits? aftermarket bumpers?

    Yea the laws are not that lax.
    The enforcement variys from town to town. No front tint, no lift laws that I know of, but bumper heights. All emissions, abs airbags you can't have any codes showing.
    Tire tread depth, also tread is supposed to be covered by body, flares.
    Sidewall may be exposed. Then mechanical,ball joints, tie rods, wheel bearings, brakes, wipers, etc.

    front tint...as in windshield or front side windows?

    so my tire coverage might be close...i'll need to put my rearview mirror back on :laugh:

    do they care if i took my sway bar off?


    edit: looks like you cannot tint your side windows????

    all lights must work.
    No tint:thumbsup:.
    Dot approved.
    The dealers may question them but most smaller shops will not.
    Tire sensors 07 and newer.
    If your tire coverage is close you should be ok. Don't believe you need the center mirror if you have both sides.
    No tint on driver or passenger front windows. Or windshield, a lot of people have tint, color across the top of windshield.
    Not sure about the sway bar?
    Again the dealer may question it but a small shop probably not.

    If your headers don't throw codes and you run a cat and muffler with tip behind cabin you should be good. No leaks though.

    Yea your lights will be good and I believe rear flaps have some formula as to how much ass their is behind the wheel as to how much tire needs to be covered.
    But yes rear flaps are law on trucks. I'm pretty sure!!

    I have my local Toyota dealer mount and balance they are cheaper than most?
    Anyway they will not put wheels on my truck because I have no sensors. Window tint 50% you may get away with?
    20% didn't work so well for me.

    yea we're around 20% on both rigs...

    zero flaps on my truck and high clearance rear :laugh:

    luckily we both still have sensors in all wheels for both rigs..

    i was looking to swap my DTST headers for some DT long tubes since i have a s/c now and more the short tubes to the FJC...both will have the URD o2 sims after that to keep the codes away...

    so this will be interesting to see how the law likes these rigs rolling through town :laugh:
