The 2021 Rimrocker Round Trip Overland Trek

[Montecresto]

Go the Mad Ramps route! HA!

Can you elaborate?

 

[Montecresto]

Didn’t you get back from your west coast gallivanting @lowrider? Did you get a blue and white sticker with your Idaho metal plate, and if so, what did your directions say for placement of them?

Let’s see a picture of that, green pea……🤩

See my profile pic, this reply.

HA! There was a guy that had bought these ramps that bolted in the rear of a pick up that angled up and actually put the front of the S X S over the rear of the cab, not a good idea, he was proud as punch, then some of the guys started calling it Mad Ramps, it put the weight of a S X S above the side rails of a pick up truck bed.

Discovered today that my 20’ knee ramp trailer isn’t long enough for my Talon and tear drop as it was for my pioneer and tear drop…..😳

Looks like I’m going to have to make some adjustments, or modifications to the trailer?

Load the teardrop in front and overhang the flatbed trailer tongue ????

Yes, it will fit that way, and if I don’t develope a better plan, that’s what I’ll be doing as a last option.

Yeah, I think I saw that now that you mentioned it. But, that’s precisely what I’m considering doing with two 5’ 2x12’s with etrack attached…

Ok, you’ve got the white sticker on the right and no blue sticker…..🤔

 

[Montecresto]

Pulled the tear drop out and cleaned it up. Moved the taillights from the frame where they couldn’t be seen to the gas can rack. I’ve now got all lights working on the Talon and the trailer…..Put the Colorado and Utah off road stickers on…..The small black button left of the directional light switch set is the horn….

Remember, they dont issue renewal stickers any more. The plate is permanent. One time deal.

Yes, NO. The annual sticker is obtained from ID Parks and Recreations or a vendor and I believe it is available on line IF you have a previously registered vehicle. Sticker goes on the "date side" bottom right side.

Yeah, ok so why’d she send me a blue and white?

So as I have them temporarily taped in the photo above….🤔

I suppose that would work. Residents put the blue on the bottom right and don't get the T sticker but I'd bet it doesn't matter to anyone in CO or UT.

 

[lowrider]

Nice rig!! Does it have a name?

I wanted to name ours Lucy...short for LucyGoosie.

See your post #561.

 

[Montecresto]

Attach a 2" receiver to your tongue, insert correct height ball, then connect teardrop hitch to ball.

I’ve got to get my trailer back up here so that I can explore such options….👍

 

[Montecresto]

See your post #561.

Yeah, I went back over our May conversation, including that post and it still is unclear, both stickers have the same expiration dates, both say Idaho, neither say IDPR….And now lr is saying Idaho residents are putting the blue sticker on the lower right???

 

[Montecresto]

I suppose that would work. Residents put the blue on the bottom right and don't get the T sticker but I'd bet it doesn't matter to anyone in CO or UT.

I completely agree that Colorado and Utah LEO likely wouldn’t know how it’s suppose to be, I just wanted ours to all be the same. How do you have yours?

Are you referring to the tear drop??
