Long Travel BS Thread

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.

 

yikes. i get a small discount at competitive that puts me at just ove 3$ a foot

 

To be fair it's more like half when used correctly

 

yikes ! orw in temecula sells 1.75 .120 for 8$ a foot. they said they make a killing off it because they are the closest supplier to most people in the area. the guy down here at orw said he couldnt even sell it to me if i wanted because its such a rip off lol.

 

What about the use tax? On the website it says the charge you tax based on market value

 

treat it as a simple mistake at first, which it absolutely could have been.

 

How do they smog these things in CA without the stock tank?

 

Kinda looks like the stock tank is moved to the rear. If it is a cell the stock sending unit can be put on a cell to pass smog.

 

great to hear. thats a sign of great customer service.

 

Being new to this. Is there an advantage to running a front bump over a front bypass?

 

or you could run both

 

I was literally just about to say that! Hah

 

when I went in with the other owner all that was needed was to update both vehicle registrations with the smog cert and fees since the other party's vehicle was due, and she confirmed with us if any money was exchanged "none"(so no market value) then it was just a title transfer.
I didn't ask her about anything else that would change her mind.

 

Oh wow. Okay thats a lot of stuff in one wheel well

holy shit. For a bumper?

Whats with the black strip. Is that to keep California cops happy?

 

Just for looks.

 

Okay thanks
