I signed...did YOU???

 

I'm kinda curious who wrote it and where their info is coming from. I can see (although not a good chance) that recon could be repealed, but safety check??? Doubt it.. plus the author goes into a political statement about government even though Hawaii is one of the most democratic states there are. Interesting that most hawaii families are very values oriented that may align closer to a more conservative prospective. (Not trying to get in a political arm wrestle). I would definitely put my name on a revamp/repeal of the recon process (even though it has been around for a long time), but that isn't going anywhere fast.. bit off too much when they added in safety...

 

If you don't like it then move out of Hawaii its that simple.

 

Change.org is petitions to the White House.
Washington can do nothing about state level safety/smog inspections.
These aren't federal laws, otherwise, we'd all have to deal with them.

 

Who ever wrote that is in major need of some critical thinking skills.


Shipmate you really sign that?

Btw your rig is sweet!

 

It's sad to think that to live a simple lifestyle we would have to move to another state which isn't always the cheapest and best idea

Hawaii residents don't like the reconstruction law because they are bias and if reading over the rules many would laugh at how much they contradict themselves

I love hawaii even if traffic sucks it's a great place to live. We get taxed out our ass and the reconstruction permits is just another way to tax the ppl but we never see it really used

Out of the islands Oahu is the only one with the law that to me is bias enough it's the same state

O well even if it doesnt work I'll gladly support it

 

idk I like the recon and safety laws. keeps really unsafe cars off the road. we need and UP TO DATE list of recon specifications. any grey areas need to be covered. for instance, ive been hearing this no led bars or pods on trucks. we are getting recon which is a reconstruction permit for the vehicles suspension. what does that have tk do with lights. thats the safety check inspectors job.

also rims and tires...the recon guys told me if I change my tire size after I get my recon I need to go back in and update my papers, yet they did away with the recon for rims and tires.

 

plan to as soon as military says i can. then im putting Florida plates on the Tacoma and will never have to worry about any type of inspections.

 

Smart move.

I thought you could run FL plates no matter where you were stationed... not the case for HI?

 

you can but you still have to deal with the safety bs so yeah

 

Yeah I agree with the safety to a certain point with updating and stuff but a lot of the rules contradict themselves kindah funny

 

Can run it but yeah they need inspection still I honestly fell bad for man guys in the military that ship their cars and trucks I mean they get hit with all kinds of rules that can be irritating

 

Recon is bullshit, the rest of the US has the safety inspectors doing recons job. Most people don't realize that the safety inspections are supposed to take an hour and they are supposed to put your vehicle on a lift or over a pit to inspect underneath the vehicle. No matter what, if something is going to change the entire system should be removed and replaced with something more reasonable.

I would have no problem with a safety inspection that they check for basic safety items, tire wear, bumper height, fender flares / mudflaps, etc. They could even keep the electronic version with pics to make enforcement by the police easier. Not to mention, this would probably be the only realistic way to get any legislators on board with changing things.

I see more sketch stock cars on the road then modified, and people freak out over my 4runner on the road. I check my vehicle all the time because I beat on it in the mountains. If I can smash into trees and rocks, drive on two wheels out of ruts, and climb over boulders the size of cars, I think my vehicle can handle the road.

 

Ahshiet need to post that "you're fuct" pic he has on instagram. Very fitting...

:edit: Here it is, from Ahshiets instagram...

 

Hahaha I remember his post on IG made me crack up

 

Safety and Recon will not go away, no matter how many petitions get signed. Its been like this for along time, way before a lot of you guys were born. Its another way for the State to make money.

I don't agree with safety and recon but nothing can be done. I really hate seeing a beat up old work truck with a brand new safety sticker on a rusted bumper. Yet, guys like us treat our trucks like they are Barrett Jackson showcars and get fined just for putting on a few of parts.

Back in the late 90s I had a Ford Ranger that I was planning on lowering and throwing on some 17' (This was way before 20+ rims). I wanted to do it all legal by going through recon so the cops wouldn't hassle me. So I did all my research and found out how much a pain it was to do it. It was actually easier to legally purchase a handgun in Hawaii then to lower a truck. An yes, I did go through all the classes/checks to buy a gun.

 

I think the main reason they are still around is because no one has taken the right approach. If you can make them think it's more of a consolidation then they would consider it over just getting rid of them. It would take writing the entire thing yourself and submitting it because the legislators won't take the time to do it.

 

My truck and car are basically stock, so no worries. Don't even get me started on my motorcycles. I swear they are making up rules as they go.

 

Yup but it also would be sad for government officials to not consider the peoples word really. I mean there are other things to tax people on but I general we hadpve very high cost of anything abut we some how are always losing money as a government. I think the roads are more dangerous than the mods I put on any vehicle really. I think it's a good idea for vehicles to be safe but it ain't right to judge modified as unsafe and hassle people about it.

Speeding is a crime
Murder is a crime
I don't see how modifying a vehicle to his or hers liking is a crime
