Per the DMV..
When Your Vehicle Becomes Salvage

Sometimes cars that have been stripped, damaged in an accident, or waterlogged don't get a second chance―but sometimes they do! It depends on whether your insurance company considers it financially prudent to revive the car or just send it to the junkyard. If it goes with the latter, the Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) will certify the automobile as "salvage," deeming it unfit for use on the road. It will be issued a new title branded with the term Salvage.

So what I make of this is the only way for you to get a salvage title from doing this mod is,
1. You chop the mounts
2. you call your insurance company to inspect the "damage"
you just performed.
3. Your insurance company says the "damage" you did to it would
cost more than your truck is worth.
4. They would either total your truck, or give it a salvage title and
before they will insure it again it will have to pass a level III inspection,
5. then you would get a restored salvage title for your truck.

Just my interpretation from a quick read at DOT's sit and the AZ
MVD site

 

sorry guys i prob wont come out there tomorrow, have 2 light bars to make and some hid's to install

 

I just got a Double Cab 2008 Tacoma TRD Off Road. I have already done the disable seat belt chime mod, and soon to put some leds in the 4x4 switch, cupholders, and make the bed light up with the parking/reverse lights. I used to have a jeep grand cherokee in flagstaff and I could never see behind me with dark tinting! Anyone in AZ know of some good places to play around in the desert, down by Tuscon or Ft. Huachuca? (mainly where border patrol wont bother you) Thanks!

 

Nice to have you!

 

No worries man! It was a blast but we'll hit it again soon! I'll post some pics and vids.

 

It was!! haha if it wasn't for mike I'd still be stuck out
there in the sand...
Can you send me those videos?
phone or email...

Where did you guys go? area/general vicinity

 

Got an alignment today... it was fugged! Not anymore!

 

Ya, sand was super thick. I had it in 2wd and got stuck too! Had it locked and in 4x just to get him out and we were both smoking tread.

Badlifeguard - We were at lower sycamore creek by Bush Hwy/Saguaro Lake!

That looks like fun. This weekend Im going up to phx, Ill be fairly north (happy valley area) and I know their used to be spots up there. Might even go to table mesa drive.

whenever someone who is familiar with new river is available i'd like to go there, io've only been once but i followed so not sure i would know where to go!

 

Those are pretty nice. I dont know when I will be that far east tho

 

I cant really remember the trails but Ill go with you sometime in the future. I only make it to phx about once a month for a weekend or so. I used to go up there and play on the north side of the lake in a bronco!

The sand got real thick the further down we went. Once you slowed down or stopped, you were screwed! Glad I had 4x4 and locked or we would still be diggin! Didn't get a lot of pics but we started on a trail that lead to upper sycamore but it started getting tight and looked pretty long so we'll save it for next time!

 

Thanks for putting the pics and video up!
next time Ill bring the video camera and we'll get some
videos besides my truck... lol
I tried widow maker, and made it to the cross!
on like my 3rd attempt...
