    Just got some info.

    Now no tire size restriction. Still have to be inside fenders without hitting body components.

    No tinting of any lens.

    No hid conversions

    And no fog lamp on anytime. Must shutoff on high beam. This has been this way for years.

    New frame height measurements.

    My advise, if you want to do a mod on your truck check the inspection laws.
    If it's a gray area err on the side of caution. Because for sure I will..... Guys are not going to risk their inspection license.

    Myself I'm real happy it's black and white on tinting lenses. I fail them all the time. Was kinda gray. Now it must be a Un modded dot lens.

    Any of you guys have any experience with Charlie's Toyota in Augusta? I have a date with them on the 2nd. Also, any of you guys know how good the "limited" power train warantee is if you buy certified used?

    We bought both of the Girlfriend's Honda's there. The sales guys will dick you around if you let them, but her car's still under warranty so I'm not sure about the mechanics/service writers there yet. I hated them when I worked in Augusta, but that's because I worked as a writer for other shops.
    Getting them to perform recall work for customers was always a hassle, especially because the customers always seemed to lead off with "Noel down at ____ said that there's a recall out about this"

    I like lee toyota in topsham. I bought my truck, then less than 90 days later I brought a buddy over and he bought his truck there. Both of us had like 8k in negative equity and they worked their asses off to help us. My GF just bought her car there(2 weeks ago) and they bought her negative equity on her VW and the car is just going to the crusher, doesn't even run!!! They worked hard to get her approved and into something reliable. On Saturday they helped my mom and dad out, buying a taco like mine. You give them the parameters you want and they try like hell to make you happy. I would go there before I ever went to Charlies again.

    Meh im kind of on the fence about Lee still. But I tell you, Yorks of Houlton treats me like a king. Lee has kind of surprised me a few times in what they were or were not willing to do. Like when I have my vehicle in for service.....I had to find my own ride to work. They wouldn't take me cause it was "too far" (23miles) or give me a loaner......the truck was in for TSB work. Where as yorks of Houlton did a service on my truck and gave me a loaner to drive from Houlton to Bath. The next day Yorks drove my truck down to me and we swapped vehicles. Sooooo yeah Lee has not been too impressive at all.

    Maybe I will give LEE a call in the AM. Its always good to know someone on the inside. I really cannot afford to get screwed, especially this time of year with the holidays coming up. Maybe I can sneak in earlier than the 2nd. I will probably be taking the truck down to RI for Thanksgiving. It would be nice is all is well with it. I have had some check engine light issues. I want to get my suspension looked at as well, I have some rattles in the front end.

    Thanks for the info guys!

    I've never understood that one.
    "Me no need rear bumper; prefer replacing sheet metal on bed"

    NH has their share of dumb rules, though.
    You don't need a helmet to ride a motorcycle, but you've gotta wear eye protection. So you can get pulled over for wearing a full-face helmet with the visor cracked and no sunglasses on underneath. :confused:

    I didn't have a rear bumper for awhile, it got destroyed when I got rear-ended. Took awhile to save up for a nice solid hunk of steel to mount up back there.

    Yeah, NH has dumb rules too, but it was funny as hell a few years back when Maine went all gestapo on the 4x4 community and the border was littered with really nice trucks for sale.
