The copper plate is dependent on your insurance... We bought the stepson an 88 bronco and put the copper plate on it... Came from outta county, so when i registered it to gilbert, it should have had emissions. 3 years in, i got the notice that tags were due. Waited my turn in line at dmv to ask. #1 it had a copper plate, #2 if emissions were due it should have been A- coming into county and B- more than the 3 years we had it. The guy was like "Uh, i dunno, but you need emssions... its based off your insurance" I won an 83 Ford f350 in vegas... 3 trips prior to getting it home to the dmv. Each person gave a different answer to my question (how do i get temporary plating; each person asked for different information). Ran outta time, opted to chance it...but got insurance set up through hagerty. went back to dmv after i had the truck in hand and they didnt ask for anyhing. Classic insurance is the key, but my agent said theres no way they would give me classic insurance with him as a primary (for either). Then it was simply 1 year or 5 year tags.

i took my 3/4 cummins to a1 auto and muffler in apache junction. $80. doesnt look pretty but they gave a detailed sheet on what the alignment was, what the factory spec, and what they set it to

wow thats neat

I found a bumber on marketplace, it had a set of fogs, and a lightbar. then i did separate switches for each ditch light , and then two more cargo lights in my headache rack. I got one more open switch that i was hoping to eventually put rear bumper lights in and then rig it for a connect the trailer lights i can text you pictures , if you wanna see. i got "casual" ones... but can send you specific pictures

i made a headache rack and put them off of that then ran wires to the dash. Amazon has a switch block (4 or 6) and i tied it all into that

Dang it, wife just lost a client... so we said "no christmas" to each other to save money. Ive been eye balling these for a while

theres a grip of them on fb marketplace

got mine yesterday as well

We tarted splurging, and rent an airbnb for the weekend. It was too difficult to get up the hill.... wander for hours wainting for the wife and MIL to "not that one" for hours and then drive back down. ha ha

Well, thats super cool to get kids back into things like this... I dont know of any, but if you're not to worried about asking in person... I know there's a xouple of places out in coolidge that you could stop by and knock on the door to see if they would be willing to set something up. I know some of the arenas have team roping and such on the weekends. (non competition, just like minded people hanging out). on the north end of coolidge https://www.lonestarequestrian.com/ between coolidge and I-10 (highway 87 and Houser) Top Hand tack shop +15055159048 (there's always guy out there cutting cows and roping when i go out to 37a for Javelina)

Thanks for that. Spent my time in 4a as a "rider" to a cow tag making mental notes of where to go back up

rained hard enough on 4a to cost a day of the cow hunt.

ha ha ha.... oh well

Marriage! its a trap, dont fall for it. Just kidding. I did get married later in life (mid 30s), then the kid/family/time obligations went through the roof. Took the step son out a few times, but never really took hold for him. In the beginning there was a lot of questionable conversations of "it's not your tag, but you still have to go?" lol. The new life goal is Starlink, then we can both go not that the kids are older and starting to be more independent. (she can work while im out, then spend time around the campfire)
