    Do you tack or nail that rug to the board so it won't slide? Great idea. I was thinking to let the rug hang over a couple of inches as to get a smoother running start.Kraig Allen

    Tag Axle

    Why is it that if you wait 6 months to install the tax goes away. What happens if after taking ownership of a truck you install a tag a week or two later? Don't ask don't tell? You sill pay 12% but just on the price of the tag, right?
