    Deuce bumper illegal in CT

    What I don't understand, and granted I'm from Louisiana but to me if you are registering it as an antique and you modify it, it is no longer in it's original configuration. In Louisiana we can go to the state police and get a vin check, ya'll can do the same? A vin check is just that, check the...

    Deuce bumper illegal in CT

    I have mixed feeling on the insurance one. While there is a list, it would be nice to have a round table discussion about dealings with different companies, and what they will insure so you can have a head start.

    Deuce bumper illegal in CT

    I was interstate. Forgot about ucr. Although this past winter I was stuck on a road of ice in the state where you pay the ucr. Needless to say I was not happy about paying a road tax and being stuck on a road because they couldn't ice it properly. We packed every truck stop and a walmart...

    Crap 1 million, dot doesn't require you to hold that much. I had progressive try to tell me that for the 818 I would have to have 750k, I laughed and told her to have a nice day. Don't forget ifta and icc Since I don't haul over 26k anymore I turned in my dot. Louisiana grabs you by the...

    In the end, all that matters is how the leo interprets it, and the judge. All my life I was told there is only one way to skin a cat, I guess they never tried nair.

    Also, once you bob it, it is no longer in it's original configuration and can't be registered as antique, or at least it's not suppose to be. Your avatar, perfect for this thread, lol

    Deuce bumper illegal in CT

    I know, maybe the tail light was a really bad example since the topic was about the bumper. I'm still waiting on doghead to chime back in. I can imagine him sitting in his chair laughing, thinking to himself, yep I just lit the fire, let it burn, lol I feel bad for the guys in Cali, and...

    Deuce bumper illegal in CT

    Ok, so I went outside and started power washing the 818 and started having some serious thoughts about life and stuff and why today is a crapy day for me and I started to realize where CSM Davis is coming from. When we do our pre-plans with the fire dept and I go into an office and I see...

    The law doesn't apply to off road vehicles, only to vehicles registered for road use. So....as long as it is registered for on road use and on the road.... Let me ask you, what would you cite someone who has no brake lights?

    Deuce bumper illegal in CT

    Also, I'm sorry if I seem a little cross. Today has been a bad day. Had to drive an hour and to Mcomb, MS to deliver a motorcycle only to have the party call me and tell me they would be another 2-3 hours. Sitting in a wal-mart parking lot for 3 hours really puts you in a mood, then having to...

    Thank you. +1 on locking it, it is spiraling down hill with no hopes of going back to the original topic.

    Unplug your tail lights and let me know how it goes with the cops.

    Deuce bumper illegal in CT

    The minute you add the ability to disconnect full power to all safety warning lights, no longer meets it. Look I'm done on this. The one who originally made the statement hasn't even spoken up, and here I am defending it. I'm not in law enforcement, just fire fighting, hold a cdl, and spent...

    Deuce bumper illegal in CT

    I agree with you 100% That is why mv's don't comply from inception, they weren't intended to be put on the highway in the beginning. They were a specialty build with exemptions. I would imagine you would pull me over if I forgot to put my service lights on just light you would pull over any...

    Deuce bumper illegal in CT

    The hmmvw is still in the class 3 weight standard. The hmmvw is essentially a gm 3500 short bed. My comment still stands, no military vehicle will meet a minimum federal standard set for class 1 to class 8 vehicles. The lights automatically disqualify it for meeting it.

    Your right, but also by that thinking ever vehicle manufactured for the military after the mandate to require airbags should have come with them.

    Deuce bumper illegal in CT

    Umm, even military vehicles today don't meet minimum safety requirements. Where are the airbags, reinforcement in the doors for side impact? Lights can be completely disabled, yep that doesn't meet minimum safety standards. The military has a list of specifications that need to be meet and...
