Things that will be happing. . Atlas t- case will replace the Orion . Hydro assist or full hydro. I am undecided yet have both so 
Massive cosmetic surgery. Other that it is getting close . I think I am going to Re work the wrap also. Not real happy with it.

Big day today woke up early and went to DMV 
. Got there at 6:30 am they open at 8 and already a huge line 
. Since i had never registered this and it was from out of state i was a little nervous . They had to do a vin inspection so we did that then she was doing the reg and was only going to give me a OHV Reg . I told he no its a real car , so she got the manager. lady. She came out and says Ohh. its a Land Cruiser you are good . We went back in and just like that i am Legal 
. Got home and took it for a rip went about 30 miles and it drove great. It cruises good around 55 it could go faster but i dont want to 40 inch tires with about 8 psi ect. plus i never intended to take this on highway trips . I am very happy with it though. I can easily drive it around Tahoe or from the end of Rubicon back to loon all around Moab ect I have a bunch of lakes close to my house and i like to take Elsie so now we can just go .

No it’s a fully licensed and insured soccer mom mobile. They liked it at DMV. I can’t wait for all the police to pull me over to check it out
I drove it down to McDonalds just for fun .
I think Gnob was asking about a special interest plate. It will still be fully licensed and insured, but you skip a lot of the things that could cause you a fix-it ticket... And you only need to register it once.

I know nothing about that ? i have not got a ticket in at least 30 years I think the only thing i would get dinged on is fender coverage and i am not worried about that I wont be driving this to much on the street
the upside is permanent (no bianal renewal ) and one plate
bianal?!? I'm glad I don't go to your DMV office...
I plan on driving around South Lake Tahoe as well. What is the law out there on driving with bead locks? I think I am ok with fender coverage (maybe not)

There
There are so many rigs running around up there they would not stop you for beadlocks and how would you know the difference you bought it that way

Just make sure you have air in the tires, 11 - 15 is risky as the drive down 50 to ice house & up ice house will heat em up so its worth a check of psi before leaving tahoma staging to drive around. FWIW to those doing this there is a gas station off 50 coming from south lake just before you turn off on ice house, STOP there if you need gas as thats last place except ice house resort ( ouch$) for gas. Ice house resort has gas, and a store in case you need last minute things.

Ok loading up now . Its far from finished but i think ( I Hope its holds 
together for a few easy trails over the next few weeks . Tires are shined and links are polished so it should be good . I will be running around up in Tahoe all this next week . Happy to get it out of my garage . But also in a way excited to get this over and it back in for Phase 2. I will kick that off in Nov as i have ALOT of wheeling in the next few months . Rubicon , Sierra Trek , Marlin Round up , Rubithon , Moab , Trail Hero . Then we start getting ready for 2024
