Keystone State Thread

PA turnpike. State boys have a scale the size of a briefcase that they keep in the trunk. I've seen several loaded pickups being inspected over the years.

 

I'm not doubting you. I only haul anything that I do haul locally. I'm on the turnpike once in a very rare blue moon. And when I am, got nothing on board. I'm willing to bet those trucks were clearly overloaded.

I did say in my post "you run the risk". It's up to the owner. Where I live and drive I have no worries and will happily pay less each year.

 

I'm with you, just filling in the details for others. I do have the class 2 sticker displayed to avoid as much as possible, and keep to the slow lane when very heavy. FWIW, I registered a 4x4 suburban as a passenger vehicle for the lower tags and rarely had that gravity on the turnpike.

 

It's all a scam anyway. I can see charging more for maybe 1 ton and higher vehicles. Vehicles that actually stress the roads.


What you gonna do. Death and taxes, only thing certain in this world.

 

When I'm done PA will require me to register the taco as a Tank.

 

Diggin the truck

 

Anybody interested in buying a travel trailer? I'm asking here because it's located at a campground on the MD/PA line. Clear Maryland title. I've always kept it on a permanent campsite. Never smoked in. Outside is a little dirty due to the trees but my wife always kept the inside clean. 2003 Gulfstream 30ft. Sleeps 6. Huge bathroom for a camper. Cold AC & Hot heat. Comes with the WDH. Only reason I'm selling is I bought a smaller camper to travel with. It's treated my wife and I very well. I'm gonna list it on craigslist soon for $5k but i would sell it cheaper to a member here.

 

I like it, seems like a reasonable price. Too bad i'd have to buy a bigger truck to tow it.

 

Yeah I bought a smaller camper so the wife and I could travel. That's why I decided to sell the big one.

 

http://bigrubbers4x4.org/forum/showthread.php?2831-Toys-for-Tots-11-14-15 Anybody interested? It's a fun place. I run blues but in rain it's a lot tougher and if there's snow....Ewwww haha. I'm gonna go if other ppl want to go. Maybe get a group going?

 

Always wanted to check that place out... 4 hour one way drive tho.
Hmmm...

 

Yeah i hear ya. It's a blast but it's pretty small compared to rausch which is 4 hrs for me. But the trails can be challenging. Idk about for your crawler but I'm not locked so it can be interesting. There is a part of a black I saw last time I would like to get another look at. Then there's some blues that are just tough. Mainly rocks. A few tight squeezes but I'm in a dclb and do it all the time. Like I said if there's snow. Very very good possibility of body damage. They used to have camping on the one trail. But they moved it to alittle easier spot. But I think the last event they locked the gate to the place at like 8pm sooooo ppl would be pretty much be locked in.

 

Just wanted to throw this in the PA thread. An extang trifecta tonneau cover for a 1995-2004 6 foot bed.

How does the Tacoma do pulling that Casita?

 

Good. My taco is a 3.4 v6/manual trans. I towed it thru the Smokey mountains recently and i was surprised how well it performed. The Casita is only 2450lbs and i figure another couple hundred pounds in camping gear. I did the 231mm tundra brake upgrade also, so with that upgrade and the trailer's electric brakes i was impressed how well it stops.

 

I have the leafs off my truck which were saved during the frame replacement minus the AAL. I cut the center pin and clamps to remove it. Free if anyone wants them, otherwise going to the scrap pile. More than likely scrap.

 

Wish you were closer to PGH.

 

I have a set if you want em. I got them off of @PCTaco over a year ago. And your post reminded me that I have never, and probably for the next few years I won't have time to, put them on. By the time I could actually put them on, I'd probably getting a new truck. LOL. Hate to have them just sit in my garage if someone could use them more than me. They are the 2+overload style. Other details about them in THIS post.

Let me know if you want them.

 

Oh werd. IM sent

 

Those springs have seen some shit to get to you too. There were what 3 or 4 people involved?
