    Lift kits

    I gotta ask this question to satisfy my curiosity.

    How do you around, knowing, that at any second of any minute of any hour of any day,
    your lift kit might get you stopped and canaried?

    How do you do it - coz I couldnt? lol

    I was just reading the back of my rego papers and part of it states:

    The owner warrants that the vehicle will not be:
    driven in an unsafe or damaged condition.

    Take care out there.

    I guess that a depends on what unsafe is perceived to be. Is a car with a 6 inch lift that has an engineers cert any safer tha a car with a 3 inch without a cert...... I seriously doubt it.

    And is yours any safer than min Rossco. You may not have a lift but it's still taller and heavier than mine..... Higher center a gravity..... Less stable through corners....... Little cheese cutters that are like ice skates in the rain

    Food for thought

    You could move to Tassie! Pretty casual here. I pulled up at the lights next to a police car the other day. He didn't even look twice at my custom snorkel, smashed indicators bent in alloy bar, 33s sticking out past the rubber flares, darker than legal tint, or the fact it was coated in mud virtually blocking out the number plate!! Lol.

    I am with Beneboy here, My GQ sits in the back yard and i drive it from home to the bush and back, i dont do Bog holes (i grew out of them a long time ago)(got sick of emptying the wallet) and drive responsibly when in the suburbs. I run Mudflaps and generally avoid exposure for no reason. Its built for the bush.

    The GUIV has a 3" lift running 35s and if not parked near another GU looks like it should have come from the factory like that (well it does to me but i may be used to looking at it) I have NEVER been pulled up in it for anything other than a random breath test. I drive it responsibly and have zero guilt that i might not be driving a safe car. It handles better than factory and stops on Bendix Extreme pad and i am happy with that. I allow space in front and dont tailgate and that will do me.

    Not everyone in a lifted 4x4 is a Hoon, unfortunately there are enough of them that it gives us all a bad name.

    Towballs Used in Recoveries will Kill someone!
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
