Re: My New Toy!!!!
Just wondering. As being from Pennsylvania too, How hard is it to get an inspection sticker on that truck? I was told that everything on a vehicle, to be able to pass Pa. inspection, must be original equipment or equivalent replacement parts. I know you can "buy" an inspection sticker in Pa. but is your truck really legal. Oh, and what about the required insurance? Some insurance companys want to see the vehicle before they will sell you an insurance policy and valid insurance is required for registration and inspection.

Re: My New Toy!!!!
Hopped up = that is going to be one of the first things i change is the tire/wheels; as much as i love the flat black with red wheels and wide whites it is just a little played out for me. Will be going with a color eventually and some bigger, but not huge wheels.
as far as PA inspection, everything on the truck is legal; everything works and the law on the ride height is that any part of the bumper must be 17"+ off of the ground = i am @ 18" to the top center of my front bumper. thanks everyone, Wagz
