Long Travel BS Thread

If he tries to say that's DOM please please please let me help ha

 

I payed $2.00 for my hrew

 

Text me what you paid for that bumper and I'll tell you if you paid for hrew or dom ha

 

i thought it can only be a gift if its from a family member??

 

Just curious but what's so bad about having a bumper made from HREW/mild steel? Just that HREW will bend easier? And isn't DOM the same as HREW except it doesn't have a seam?

 

I know SMP charges around $800-900 for his bumpers (starting price)

 

Nah. When I bought mine I did that. Unless they changed the law since 2010.

 

You could sell each other your trucks for a really good deal, you would still pay some tax though depending on how good the deal is. I guess thats not much different than just gifting them though.

hmmm...

it is in az though

 

im not sure it works when trading

 

I think it would be best to not consider it a trade, but just to gift each other the vehicles. In CA it doesnt seem there would be any tax on it, but in AZ there would not be an exemption. Also when you go to register the new vehicle in CA they would have to "reestablish" the vehicle value, so Im not sure how that would work. So your best option could be for him to gift you his truck then you sell him yours at a really low price, I dont know how AZ would determine the value of your truck (for him to pay tax on) if you were to gift it to him.

Oh ok. I was wondering why Nick put the seams on the inside when he built mine.

As far as the debate between HREW and DOM, there's no doubt that DOM is stronger but if you are getting towards the point where either one will bend for example a crash or a hard hit, you'll most likely have to replace the bumper either way but I guess DOM will have more protection.

 

Curious to see what he says about the tubing. Could get ugly.

 

Did you pay for tubing and have him put it together or did you pay him directly for a tube bumper made out of DOM? If it's the latter, he doesn't really have a choice but to rebuild you a new bumper.

 

Well it's written down in your order so yah I'd ask him to do it over again since he gave you something that was less than what you paid for.

 

I'm doing my bumpers out of HREW tubing, and we made my pop's bumpers out of it too on his daily and on his race truck. He's been cut off twice to where it causes an accident on the daily, and nerfed a class 5 buggy yet either bumper is to move an inch. Unless it is a race truck or plan on seriously nerfing someone at TT speeds, you should be fine with HREW. Just have SMP adjust the final bill accordingly since you did clearly ask for DOM and it was not used. Just my $.02

 

If it is a vehicle trade for another vehicle. DMV with no money exchanged there is no tax charged.
I did this recently. Only paid title transfer fee.
