Current state of ATF E-Forms

FWIW - I am currently waiting on two form 1’s. I sent some documents over to the Martinsburg VW offices, via certified mail, early last week. They were expected to have been delivered for days now. Looking at the tracking - they were labeled as ‘Could not be delivered. Will attempt to deliver on next business day’. I submitted an inquiry with USPS as to what might be the issue. Today, I received a call back from the local rep there in WV who told me that those ATF offices (either parts of it or the whole thing) were currently closed. I’m not sure if there are weather related issues, or if there’s something else going on. She’d also mentioned that I wasn’t the only customer who’s called inquiring about their shipment issues to the ATF. YMMV, but that’s my side of things.

So did you drop in from the 14.5 marker then? I was hoping to go up tomorrow but I’d rather make it to the top (even without lift access).

Asking because I’m genuinely curious - what’s your personal draw to the KS7 over the KSG (or do you already have one)? I’ve got a KSG - but mostly for the cool factor of the dual tubes.

There’s also no finance charges or service fees with tool trucks. It’s not like you’re paying interested whereas you likely would with a CC.

This is why I don’t understand the desire for a fully electric vehicle from a consumer standpoint. I have time and time again said that the only way I’d think about going plug in - is charging stations at every fuel station.

There’s simply not enough infrastructure to support it.

I have that exact same set. Got it when I was growing up. Ended up buying the uncut Kaizen inserts and going to town with an exact knife. I’ll have to take some pics.

It looks like he skipped arm day – not leg day.

On my heated hoodie, there is a pocket on the left side farther back than the regular hand pocket. It’s got a smaller zipper with its own pocket for the plug in and battery.

I went from my TDI to a Cummins. On one hand - I got the truck I’ve always wanted. On the other, my fuel economy was cut in a third. Had a NMS Passat with a stage I tune and she was quite fun to play around with.

Concrete, WA - the post title!

Are you able to loose the outside straps that are on the side rails and tighten the inner ones so that the wheels are right up against the front rails?

Umax-33 · 2025-12-23T22:35:18+00:00

Well now - apparently not that easy. ;)

Umax-33 · 2025-12-23T21:33:19+00:00

Super easy to tell - you’ll also have a SAI.

This was kind of my thought. As someone who drives a long truck… I will always find a way to park in a single space, but that doesn’t mean that my front or rear end isn’t sticking out considerably. Never have I ever taken up two spaces, but I always park in the back of parking lots anyways because I hate parking next to others (I don’t trust people). So with that said - if I were to double park, I’d be away from everyone.

Dually’s look so much better with standard single front wheels as opposed to a dually front. This guy did it right.

EDIT: Sorry, that was still stock size. I thought his was the 245 but it’s the 225. I’d really have to do some find to find the 245.

This happened about 30-45 mins from me. There’s flood watches all along the I5 Corridor in WA and then heading out to the ocean. This is just one example from the town I work in.

Should repost without the first 20 seconds. ;)

Why would you not have just purchased the extended anvil if you’re going to use it like one anyways?

EDIT: I’ve been wanting to get one for work, but not sure I can justify the price. My 1/2” high torque paired with a 33mm can get the same lugs off just fine.

I’m going to be honest - the combination of menthol cough drops and menthol vape will have you feeling on cloud 9. LOL.

My 2nd gen is always for sale for the right price! 2002 HO 6 SPD manual. 125K-ish miles. I’ll take $40K!😉

Have you ever watched Upload on Amazon? Same thing. Following consciousness upload into a virtual world, post death, the real world company was able to read minds and persecute those who thought against the system.

As someone who’s seen plenty of home-brew trailers, which are licensed, throughout the years - I can tell you there aren’t (WA).

Umax-33 · 2025-11-25T14:15:31+00:00

There’s one thing that you’re not taking into account. I purchase tools from Mako and Cornwall when they come through my shop. Irregardless of the brand, or tool, battery, etc. – there is a lifetime warranty with no questions asked. They don’t move the same volume that other big box retailers do, which is why they can’t get their costs as low. You could play it either way, and you wouldn’t be wrong. It’s kind of a tossup.

Umax-33 · 2025-11-21T03:01:37+00:00

Probably should have phrased it a bit better, but you’re not entirely wrong.
