Thinking of cutting my frame

Should put a 6” lift on it, then the other cars can go right underneath you..

 

forewarn any passengers of your engineering skills or lack there of .

 

Also your insurance company

 

Ya know there are frame shops that can pull that.

Replace your frame with railroad ties and pressure treated 4x4s. In addition to never getting bent, it will also never rust.

 

In the late 70's I worked in a shop with a frame machine. Today the insurance companies are worried about future wrecks after repairs.

 

Will that lower my gas mileage and will it rub?

 

#6 Keep your eyes moving. This one always scares me when I see one driving that is only focused straight in front.

 

Relax guys, he's thought this through.

 

0 situational awareness

 

OP out here trying to engineer his own crumple zone. haha

 

What happens when the vehicle hitting him from behind is the trailer due to the hitch effectively being supported by string and chewing gum?

 

Need to change the thread title to something like:
"Thinking of setting myself up for a lawsuit."

 

No, don't do that.

Do you understand WHY the frame bent like that? It's because it absorbed the energy of the collision. If you cut it like you're talking about...you'll be able to fold it down by standing on the hitch...which makes the hitch useless, but consider the very small amount of energy (your weight) that will be required to fold the frame at your new "crumple zone". A rear end collision involves far more energy than that....once the "modified" frame has absorbed all it can, which isn't much, the rest of the energy will be absorbed elsewhere, causing far more damage.

This is why you, and hopefully the other driver, have insurance.

 

I was in the process of writing something like ^^^lbhsbz did, but now im all like

 

And make the rear bumper out of 6" rolled pipe.
