    Question How much does it weigh?

    Any vehicle with GVWR rated over 10,000 pounds that does not leave the boundaries of the state of Mississippi has to have a MDOT number. If you are over 10,000 and cross state lines then you have to have a USDOT number. On another note: If a vehicle greater than 10,000, owned and titled...

    Question How much does it weigh?

    In MS 3/4 and up vehicles have weighted tags with a B10 being the smallest tag you can purchase. I believe you can go up to a B16 B20 and maybe a B26. Pulling a trailer that carries a cargo is considered part of the vehicle weight and is measured on the ground contact at axles. B tags apply to...

    Question How much does it weigh?

    Yes it is a crew cab. Be careful when you buy your tag. If you pull a trailer say like a 16' tandem axle with a farm tractor on it, then your gross weight is over 10,000. The tag offices are notorious for selling a 10,000 pound tag when you need a 16,000 tag. All is well until you get stopped...

    FInkster, I too started dieseling around 86 actually was around 87 with a Toyota pickup that got around 30 mpg. I trade a VW new beetle that got around 44 in for my wife a Jetta TDI that gets 48-50. The PSD I'm in right now is showing 18.7 on the lie- o- meter. I love dieseling By the way :SDD

    King Ranch leather conditioner

    She's a pretty good shot for sure. Her only problem with the long gun is that she looks down the barrel with the wrong eye. She right handed but shoots left handed. Sounds like a good excuse to buy another round of weaponry for her. :sly

    King Ranch leather conditioner

    Well I finally got around to putting the Duragloss leather conditioner # 221 on my KR seats last night. I found a good way to apply the conditioner is to use the little round foam rubber pads that my wife uses to put on makeup. They're about 10 cents each. They did a great job is smoothing out...
