theres so many things you can get caught out for if running exempt its just not worth the hassle, also you cant transport your own cars or do trade work etc,. atleast mine i can nip to shops if i want to etc.
ive been stopped by vosa recently and trust me they go all over the trucks so id rather have pice mind to be honest.
you just have to make sure you use blocks to unload incase of bumper damage, allways use handbreak and put it in gear when dropping so it doesnt run off.
i love my old truck id rather have it than a new shape any day
ideal that truck, i'd have a spec lift if i was doing it myself now, less hassle than a slide an tilt or beavertail but obviously badly smashed cars you struggle with unless they have 2 rolling wheels left, and you can get motorbikes on a spec if you know what you doing.
