Regarding plate and registration cost.


DAMN BILL RITTER!!!

Yep.

Plated a new truck back in Texas. It was about $45. Moved here and when I got my Colorado plates it was nearly $400.

The .gov still gets it's full pie regardless of how slices are cut up.

For instance, Nebraska has inexpensive vehicle registration. Their property tax however is roughly 3x higher than what we pay here in Colorado.

In the end, the handouts just keep being funded regardless of where they come from.

I've actually written Bill Ritter's Illegal Taxes in the memo line of checks for registration before.

At the mechanic currently to have them fix their work. Got told so far that they didn’t reinstall the crossmember supports because “the newer year models don’t come with them”... wtf... also was told that “the transfer case won’t efffect the feel of shifting gears on your manual awd FJ Cruiser”... wtf, I think this guy might’ve enjoyed eating lead more as a child than I’ve ever enjoyed shooting it.

Just ordered a set of caliper rebuild kits. I have 1 rusty caliper on the new-ish truck (never had that before, previous owner must have sprayed something on it. Going to powder coat calipers and brackets to match body color. Should be a fun project.

I've been trying to get a hold of the correct size spring perches so I can do an axle flip on my trailer. The first time I ordered the wrong size, my bad. The second time I ordered the correct size, but the wrong size came. Guess I'll get to it around winter.

Since it?s a trailer and there isn?t a differential can?t you just literally flip the axle over and put the springs on top?

Small trailers usually have bowed axles. Not sure...

It has a bowed axle. There aren't any brakes to worry about putting facing front or upside down. I suppose that I could cut the factory perches off and re-weld them, but that doesn't seem like a great idea, especially with me being a beginning "fabricator." Also, leaving the factory ones in place will help me properly locate and measure the new ones.
