I'm not sure how it works in other States but in Georgia you simply tell your local tag office what you would like and they in turn plug your choice into a computer to see if it has already been issued. She warned me that many popular choices are already taken and I just smiled and told her I was confident my choice was available.
You never know!
Hey, any plans for your electric hubs? Are they working okay now? Are you going to swap them for manual?
Thanks

Hard to say if they are working or not at this point. In the 3+ weeks that I have owned the Cruiser, It has been driven approximately 25 yards (from the trailer to the garage). Since it has electric hubs and electric lockers, I plan to run them until they fail.
Hzj77 vanity plate...really? Who has too much time on their hands!?
It may not work much, but didn't fail me there! Free time made me some money after shift
Praise the lord it got me home since I wasn't too kind when trying to pull it out. I was spinning on the asphalt a few times while picking the front end up.

I didn't make the thing! If I had, it would be made of cardboard and the numbers and letters would be applied with a Sharpie.

Getting rid of 50' of old wire to make room for 50' of new wire. It makes sense on some level.I thought you was getting rid of wires?
looks backwards....

INSURING A 25 YEAR OLD LAND CRUISER.
Unlike all of the other Land Cruisers I have owned, the HZJ77 has been more of a challenge to insure.
My HJ75 has a "Known Value" policy which to a laymen would mean State Farm and I agree on the value of the truck in the event it is destroyed in a wreck. Here however is some of the fine print......
Whereas a regular private passenger rate it would be at the discretion of a claims handler if something were to happen.
Although I supplied an appraisal letter and numerous photos ..... The value is still at the discretion of State Farm.
Now for the HZJ77 .........
I chose to go the "Antique and Collector Model Policy" route....... This policy is made especially for antiques and collector models and while it is more of a pain to deal with, the value is locked in stone and usually at a much lower rate than the regular policies.

Look closely at use and storage restrictions. My 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T SE is on one of those types of policies. In my case the vehicle must be garaged and it cannot be used for "normal" transportation purposes. Mileage is restricted and I can only be out for display or parade or "occasional" pleasure drives. It also has to be attended at all times when it is not in the garage. On the other hand it's a hundred and fifty bucks a year for very good coverage.
IE you may not be able to take it to the airport and leave it there while you are at work.

Left turn ...freakin wipers!
Just watch for limitations on use such as mileage limitations ....

Thanks, Dan
I just fired off an email to State Farm inquiring about the various restrictions. Unlike the BJ74 which I did drive to the airport, this Cruiser will not be used for those purposes and I can tolerate a "reasonable" mileage restriction.
I am still looking for someone to agree to fair value. The classic car insurance through Erie was less than 12000 miles a year and cant drive it off road, even beach would void insurance.
