Give 'em hell.

[2strokebloke]

People may have the right to buy what they want, and do with their vehicle as they please - but they never have the right to take away your safety!!!
Check your state laws on bumper height requirements, and give whoever dissrepects your rights hell - report 'em.
I've heard about police taking out their measuring tapes and checking headlight and bumper heights on modded cars - but never once have I seen one check the bumper heights on lifted trucks or SUVs, they're pissing your safety away because they don't feel your life is worth their time.

These assholes raise their vehicles up without any regard for the safety of others, or the damage that can be caused if they're in an accident. If the vehicle inspection people in your state are doing their jobs, these jerks won't be able to drive them on the road. Yet they still slip by, and they still don't give a damn about anybody else's property or safety.

I'm so fed up with this bull crap now. I'm going to start a list of every lifted vehicle I see. In my state, no variation from the original bumper height is allowed on lifted vehicle, yet practically nobody respects others enough to modify their bumpers back to stock height after lifting their vehicles. It's disgrace so many of them get away with this. In other states the laws are different, but you usually don't need a tape measure to tell which ones are higher than allowed. So protect yourself and others, even if all that will happen is the scumbag gets a ticket and a small fine. If you live in a respectable state they may also require the owner to bring the vehicle to the DMV and have the bumper height checked to make sure it is within regulation (like when they check cars which were reported for emitting excessive smoke)

I'm not going to tollerate it any more, and there's no reason you should have to put up with this crap either.

But SUV are so much safer...I mean look in the snow they handle so much better due to AWD...and I know this for a fact from a very good source....the person who hit me after spining out of control

here are the details

and i agree fully with you 2stroke....we cannot import stuff from germany or japan because they are suposedly not crash worthy(and we all know how bad those german and japanse cars are) so they care if you drive a car that will not protect you in a wreck but nobody cares if you drive a car unsafe to others

OI! I'm the moderator I decide where the thread goes


But on the topic.........Yes, it is about time there was an SUV tax or quota- the things are dangerous, inconsiderate and lethal- and to top it off- not even that safe for the occupants themselves.........In the case of the Yank Tank ones- I support you 100% 2stroke

Jimster you rock my world.

Man, Im agreeing here, imagine me getting hit by something with an illegal height bumper.. as Steel said, I'd get a face full of bumper and glass.

I'll have to disagree with you that they never get checked for their heights. I know several people who have been pulled over and the cops pulled out the measuring tape. And at the truck show I attended one year, the cops were such dicks they were pulling over everybody. From cars to trucks to mearsure.

Hey, at least the Police in your area were doing their job to protect people from inconsiderate assholes. It saddens me that some people can have such dissrespect for others property, and even worse, other's safety. It may be an inconvenient, but it's for a good reason.

Actually no, they never have. But I would love to hear your expert opinion on how it's a hunk 'o crap. But that's an old picture, let me update you so you know all the facts. It's no longer street legal. Engine is a 318 Magnum, temporary tranmission is an AX-15, has a 1/4 elliptical rear suspension with a Dana 60 axle, a 3/4 elliptical front suspension with a Dana 60 axle, an Atlas II transfer case, 44" super swamper boggers, trimmed fenders, and a custom roll cage. I know that's a lot of technical information for an accountant to handle but you seem smart, I'm sure you can figure it out. Actually I think I'll just post a picture of another Jeep that looks almost the same as mine. If you still think it's a hunk 'o crap then you obviously don't know your head from your ass.

Whoa, when the hell did this become the Jeep picture gallery? If you want to debate whether or not it's piece of crap, there's plenty of room over in the Jeep forums for that.
