How cool would that be? All I'd need to do is build a hinge point in the back and a latch in the front... could use a high lift, or a small winch to lift the box up... this will remove about 300 lbs from my tug... also found a local SD33T engine... :) john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 http://creationwiki.org http://johnmeister.com http://wagoneers.com http://fotomeister.us - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 May 2009 14:12:19 -0700 (PDT) From: john Subject: RE: fsj: OT: 6bt passed emissions is there a classic car registration? when your car gets to be four years old, if you like it, you put it up on blocks for 20 or 30 years then use it again. ;) john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 http://creationwiki.org http://johnmeister.com http://wagoneers.com http://fotomeister.us - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On Fri, 29 May 2009, Michel Balea wrote: # # Good point on the back up point. # # In France they went the other way around.... there is technical inspection that is so stringent.... that most vehicle will fail after year 4, in fact they probably get you on the rust..... , then it is too expensive to maintain with the service fees and the headache.

They had the 25 year exemption until "they" realized in 1999, that there are plenty of running "junkers". I think that it goes by bunch of 5 years. The 74 was exempt after 02.
