In some states, tampering with the brakes on a vehicle you don't own is a felony ;) I was in the Towing and Impound business for 12 years. Caging Brakes is a standard Towing/impound practice on Airbrake Vehicles. It is not illegal in this state. Other states may vary. It is not "Destruction of Property" and it is not "Vehicle Tampering" in Washington. I've sat in on that court case when we impounded an Atlas Freight Semi and they tried to make that claim when we said we caged the brakes. Since both require intent to cause harm or damage to the vehicle, and the whole point of a quality tow company is to do no damage to the towed vehicle - Even if the tow company had harmed the vehicle, it would have been accidental, not intentional. Given that there was no evidence of damage, much less intentional damage, the Judge dismissed the case. Caging does not damage the brakes in any way when done properly. You simply use special bolts to depress the bleeder on the airbrake cans. Once the bolts are backed off, and removed, the brakes work as normal. (It is time-consuming to do... Like 15 minutes) The vehicle you are going to get could be towed by any class "C" Semi truck tow truck. But they would have to know what they are doing, because of the 6 wheel drive. And if they knew what they were doing, then your Airbrakes wouldn't matter in the first place since they would fork it and tow it from the rear. It is however, illegal to impound an occupied vehicle in Washinton. And in most States. In such a case, the police are usually called out to force you to remove the offending vehicle or arrest you for trespassing. If you get arrested, the impound proceeds as normal. If you move the vehicle, the tow truck leaves. Simple as that. Most Walmarts have a 72 hour stay period. Put it this way...if you see Semis parked somewhere....you're probably safe. I used a set of vice grips to cage off an air can, to get me home 100 miles later LOL |

Cage bolts don't destroy anything, most air cans come with one in their neat little built in mount. The cans are designed to have them lock into the piston and pull back the spring tension....with spring applied parking brakes on most drive axle air cans. If you have a mechanical parking brake on the driveshaft(s) it gets a bit more tricky......
But, then again, if push came to shove, there is always just hiring Skyway or Gene's to bring in their 60 ton rotator and pick the whole thing up onto a Landoll or step deck, but that gets pretty expensive. We're speaking purely of illegally parked here. ;) ....at any rate, cool that you got one, TW.

The more recent models as well as the one the OP is getting makes for some comfy living. Yakima TC is bearable living out of the one I used to drive.

That is pretty bad ass. I pay to have my companies trucks towed everyday across the country. If they come to tow it, they will get it.

Serious question, are you actually planning on living out of it?

I guess I'll need to use my V10 Dodge to block it in?

Looks like a cool rig, i think i saw one today at the red lion on Hosmer in Tacoma. I am not up on my military vehicles so it could be something different.

That has the potential for much badassery.

be sure you wear one of these shirts while you are at Bragg.
