Swisha Loop 2018

I'd be scared to recovery you lol

 

Hahaha I’m thinking something that bolts thru to the frame, the wood is really just for pushing, and to comply with NYS traffic regulations.

 

Aint seen no pm yet... but of course the route can be planned with taking the washout in consideration! For the date, we will need a poll haha

 

Indeed, was going to suggest you look up the QC equivalent regs. Might not want to get prohibited at the boarder

Dunno what they are...

 

we ran it mid sept. Bugs were non existent and the weather was beautiful

 

I'd be thinking do it with a bypass as most of us do not have high clearance

 

That is an excellent suggestion, so I did! This is one thing I found in a very long legalese filled document:


269.Where a road vehicle is equipped with bumpers as original equipment by the manufacturer, they must be solidly attached to the part of the vehicle designed for that purpose.

Hmmm... ok.

Also found this in some other official looking website.

Replacing the bumper shell, provided the replacement shell is made of a similar material as the original.

So according to that, steel bumpers aren’t legal! I’m guessing this is not enforced.

 

Quebec cops don't like non Quebec plated vehicles, especially is u no speaky the French.. I hate to say it but thats been many people' experience

Sorry @Kemosabe I mean no offence <3

 

I already know that, Quebecers don't like Ontariens just because... sad like this!

 

I may be wrong but I think @Wheelspinner and his buddies didn't had problem at the border and with Qc police officers during their trip...

 

Yeah unfortunately it goes both ways.
But no hate here brother

 

Steel bumpers are completely legal as some manufactures use them still.

The concern often falls on if insurance will cover

 

3rd gens have plastic bumpers correct? Would that means there's a crash bar there similar to the front? If not it's pretty uselss in regards to protection (unless u have a hitch) so really would it be any different than just not having it haha

 

Well they said nothing about our bumpers but the fire works I forgot I had under the back seat caused some significant delays at the border right @Chux

 

added some stuff to the first page of things people may need. Not all mandatory like a tire repair kit, or air compressor, but things like recovery points I would say are. If your stuck and need to be pulled out and you don have proper recovery points, its going to make for a bad time.

 

Any wood bumpers?

Sorry, didn't mean to start nuttin...paint the fvcker black prolly won't be an issue lol

 

never seen a wood bumper lol

 

Sorry, I mean my PMs from a couple weeks ago

 

Pretty sure every car has a metal crash bar behind the plastic
