Well I might as well I only have the short block assembled, deck hieght set and have the pushrod length determined. Becareful out there tickets are being written for not being on the trail, no helmet, child drivers etc and on July first they are inforcing the OHV plate rules.

Twas a great trip, but its time to do a little work on the rail, nothing broke, but the freeway flyer trans I have in there is killing my climbing power. So the plan is to swap thet tranny with one I just picked up with a car. So next time out I wont have any issues with the steeper hills.

Dan. sometimes unexpected circumstanced arise that prevent people from attending certain events. you yourself have said that you would attend numerous events and cancelled at the last second. we're here to have fun as a family of VW owners. not scold eachother for being unable to attend. to get to the point here: you don't need to say "NO EXCUSES" because you're just going to make yourself look like a jerk that doesn't care.

think about it.

If you're street-legal, you don't have to have an OHV plate. Quads and the like that are not street legal need to have SOME sort of plate displayed on them, thus the "OHV" plate. If you were to run a non-street-legal car, etc. on the trails, it would need to have an OHV plate if not licensed for street use (probably WITH a "copper" sticker).

As for the "copper" stickers-they're not required for any vehicle that was originally built as a passenger-carrying, street-legal vehicle, ie VW-bodied baja, regardless of gross weight.

Dirtbikes, ATVs, Sandrails, side-by-side UTVs (Rhinos, etc.), and the like are all required to have them, even if street legal.
