Woohoo, the State of New Hampshire has deemed that I can terrorize others Live Free or Die for another year in Soupie!

And, yes, I got my 2024 dump sticker back in January - ALL SYSTEMS ARE GO BABY!

Is it registered as a private vehicle or a commercial truck/dump/garbage truck ?

David,
I can see your OB now..."man joyfully passed away in his beloved truck 'SOUPIE ' just after finishing a dump run at a local landfill." Family and friends have commented..."he went doing what he loved to do"! :handsinair: :crackup:
LOL, that even got a chuckle out of Kate, although maybe for a different reason!

You only do 1 year at a time? I do multiple, you save a little and the stickers don't build up as fast on the plates.
Edit, just realized maybe NH doesn't offer that.

After a few of you put the fear of God in me about getting the lug nuts off, I got this 30-inch 1/2-inch drive breaker bar to toss into Soupie. A deep 19 mm impact socket is on the way.

And a few other tools for a dedicated on-board tool kit (yes, plenty of 10 mm action). =p

I suppose I no longer need to carry that old rusty crowbar as a roadside pacifier!

Sorry it's blurry, my friggin' arms aren't long enough to hold this thing far enough away! =D

Yeah, I'd say that outa do it! I have had a 4-way lug nut wrench for years. Has 4 different sizes and you can get some serious leverage. Plus it makes spinning the nuts off easy. But that thing...hell yeah!

I gave my 4-way lug wrench to my daughter to stay with my old FJ40. I guess that lug wrench is 46 years old!

In fact, I used it to take off the two rotted tires on it and put on the new ones right before pulling it up to my daughter's home last summer.

I gotta say, I also love how you could spin the heck out of it once you've broken the lugs free, a very efficient and satisfying feeling. =)

I was able to open new credit card accounts and order everything I want for the Ranger, with over night delivery, thanks to information so kindly provided by members here. Now to wait for the items to arrive... ?

I had one of these and it fit nicely behind the folded up jump seat in my ‘01 SuperCab. Around my household, growing up, we called it a ”speed wrench”. I’m not so sure that was the proper term for it because I learned later on that this…

was called a “speed wrench”.

Did anyone else here call the 4-lug wrench a “speed wrench” or did my dad just have it wrong from the start?

Many hours using one of these as both an attack helicopter and F-16 crew chief.
