Yep! You'll get a riding too low ticket.

 

TITLE 49
MOTOR VEHICLES
CHAPTER 9
VEHICLE EQUIPMENT
49-965.Modification of vehicle to reduce road clearance beyond certain limits unlawful. It shall be unlawful to operate any passenger motor vehicle which has been modified from the original design so that any portion of the vehicle other than the wheels has less clearance from the surface of a level highway than the clearance between the highway and the lowermost portion of any rim of any wheel in contact with the highway.


(2) Every license plate shall at all times be securely fastened to the vehicle to which it is assigned to prevent the plate from swinging, be at a height not less than twelve (12) inches from the ground, measuring from the bottom of the plate, be in a place and position to be clearly visible, and shall be maintained free from foreign materials and in a condition to be clearly legible, and all registration stickers shall be securely attached to the license plates and shall be displayed as provided in section 49-443(4), Idaho Code.

 

Ah i see, is that moving only or can you get a ticket for it laying flat parked?

 

Probably moving only. Most of the time you park is on private property an from what I understand cops can't give tickets on private property unless the property owner calls. But Cali is the same way frame can't be lower than the rim an license plate has tone 12" off the ground an a light has to be there

 

Got this beoch linked yesterday.

Got everything lined up, square, tacked tabs and started welding her in



Got all upper and lower bars welded in made sure bag had clearance between frame and upper bars
We pulled it out the shop and cleaned up a bit cause we could hardly breath with all the welding dust and metal shavings laying around.



Pulled her back in and mocked a bag to do upper brackets. Started working on upper bracket mounts but decided to make it crazy so we got to make some templates today and buy more metal.



If you dont already know the link USED to be a Cando link and we decided it was **** and used it to build our own. We got all the bolts tight and even without the bridge in yet this thing is STIFF as ****!!!

 

you do have a few degrees angled down on the uppers at ride height right... that way it'll keep and instant center while riding... they just look a little high in the pic... just trying to help not be a jerk

 

Yup! I know the pics make it look flat but if you look at the top of the crossmember Arch it is perfectly level with the axle so then take into account the height from the top brackets on axle then go to the crossmember they are about 2 inches below axle. I dont know degrees but I know they measured the hell out of it a billion times with it in ALL height settings and everything is legit.

 

Well more pics for me to look at. Got upper cup mounts almost complete. We needed to get it to a show so we got sides done and fronts 75% done. Still need to do rears. Also got bridge tacked in.











Still tons of work to go. Buddies went back to 6 12hr shifts at work so again progress will be slow.
But we got the hard **** out of the way.

 

HUGE thanks to my friends who have helped and supported over the last month. Huge thanks to Casey and John of Cash Kustoms. We didnt finish it but we got it to the show.

2011 Scrapin Into Summer MD show. Check out the bridge its legit!!!

 

Wow from what i can see it does look sick, Need a closer pic. But congrats on making to the show man.

 

Thanks. Yah we busted balls all week to get it to the show. Got the bridge in about 30 min before leaving for the show. Its gonna be sick when its done. Im taking my time and doing everything right and the way I want the first time so I dont have to do it again. This will be a finished truck. If I want something different in a few years Ill start something else. I'll probably start on the interior now that the hard stuff is mostly done. I'll try to get better pics of the bridge and stuff next weekend when its all welded up and cleaned.

 

sweet sounds good

 

Looks good man I like it. Also I like howyou did the bag cup mounts definitely different from what ive seen done.

 

Thats what we were shooting for is something not normal. I'll tell you though its strong as hell and we dont have the arms going to the crossmember capped and we dont have the arms to the bridge even built and its still solid. Bridge is strong as heck as well. Im diggin it.

 

Got bored of working on bag stuff so mocked up my body stuff.





I initially wanted to shave the entire bed but after mocking everything up decided to be lazy on bodywork and leave the tailgate able to open. Gotta build a plate so I can reverse my handle, everything will be shaved but rearend wont be molded anymore. I think it will look clean and still be sick as Fuk

 

love that tail gate. where did you get it? and the roll pan? looks clean

 

Grant kustoms roll pans are cheap now there only 66$

 

Skin was from Grant, Pan was from rollpans tail fillers are grant as well.

 

How'd the tail fillers fit?

 

Decent enough. My issue is skin has a lower bodyline that is not on my truck
