they told me they dont care what the door jamb said they only cared as to what the reg said msp explained that to me. yea man i got to have a beer with you! i am still working on turning the truck into a powerhouse so i am not on as often as i would like lol

 

i kept quiet through all of this because all of my questions were answered. i had an issue with a girl i dated years ago because of the HOA, i couldent park in the neighbourhood because of my ladder rack,and tool boxes. it was an f250. it looked like a service truck and they didnt like it.

 

George, your truck is clearly in violation with the HOA rules.
Ronnie, if it gets down to that, the judge will decide.
Here are some more pics I snapped this morning:

 

Ian
If you put a spade on the front of that you can plow a field and sow some wild oats. ha ha ha ha hee

I like it. Does make me wonder if you could plow and then add another one on the oposite side to furrow the rows together.

Hows your back doing?

 

You better paint that plow or that will be one more thing they will bitch about lol, that thing defintely looks like a work truck. But its not and not commercially tagged and not registered as a 1ton so screwem, I hate stupid rules! Its not even a beat up ugly truck. It looks good! Good luck

 

Wow, I can _almost_ understand living with an HOA that restricts what homeowners park at their own place. But one that restricts what VISITORS drive? Eek!

Dawg, one thing they may pitch a fit about is how far your contraption is sticking out. I would cut down that receiver section and the section going forward down some. With your bumper, you could prob. do it so it's not sticking out beyond the bumper at all. Or you could stick a red reflector or some red/white diag-stripe reflective tape on it. But the more "stealth" (tuck it in tighter) approach might be better.

 

Dangit, what ever happened?

Don'tcha hate when stories like this never play out?

 

Sorry! I am also telling/crying the story in the MD room too. So far so good!
I have seen the tow truck in and out of our community and no problems at all. There is another 350 with a drop in tool box and he isn't being fudged with either. It is actually working out very well as part of my morning routine. I go out and turn the truck "ON" (for glow plugs) and by the time I clean up my contraption the glow plugs are ready to fire.
I won't be there to much longer. The VA inspects my "new house" today, tomorrow we call BG&E to get the power in our name and Thursday we close (finaly). So about 2 more weeks of games.

I will keep you all up to date if anything happens or when I slip out and put this thing to rest.

 

Nice!!!! The day your moving/packing. Put a HUGE sign in the front yard that says "HOA" with a big X through it

 

I would love to do that but then my old neighbors/friends would suffer. That is funny though. I will try to think of something tactful to do to then.

 

Okay, An Extra HUGE sign with HOA with a red X though it.

 

Send them some some black roses. With a card that says F U HOA with a pic of your anti theft device.

 

Pull an old junker van with a receiver out of the junkyard, back it into your former parking space and hook your contraption up to it and just leave it there. Spray-paint the circle-slash-HOA symbol on one side of the van, and a graffiti drawing of Bart Simpson saying "So long, suckERRRRRZZZZZ!!" on the other.

 

Love it!!!

 

LOL, Priceless!!
