lol

Got pulled over for the second time this week. The 1st time I was a suspected looter, the second they checked my ute out.

The u bolt ends were exactly 100mm fom the road. 1 mm lower and I would have been stickered. The cop didnt know what he was on about, said as soon as i get a load on the bolts will be below 100mm.

----:mrgreen:

I saw this ute out in Darfield today, you drove past my work a couple of times.

Looks sweet in the flesh ....damn low too.

Cheers took the deck sides off so it looks a bit lower.

Hey. I'm hoping you've upgrade to a later model courier? Otherwise I saw one in Chch today that was totally ripping off your style

I sold this and its in Wellington now.

I have heard of this other ute trying to roll like the cool kids, havent seen it yet, hope to though.

Cop was right as soon as you get a load on the bottom of the bolts will be below 100mm.
Add load you add compression to your tyres this will drop it by 1mm
But hey you could always pump them up a little more

He was right but i agree still prob didn't know what he was talking about.

I cut the bottom of the bolts of as they were quite long so that got it up above 100mm. Never got pulled over after this incident. I think the flat deck made it look like a farm truck to the police.
