I need ideas of things to do to my truck. Currently im looking at some 265/75r65 goodyear duratracs, '06+ badges, and id like a bullbar.

What do you guys think will look good on my truck? I need projects!

Slight problem with your bull bar idea: While talking with Mad Hatter last week, he said that he belives that they might now be ILLEGAL in Mass.

WHAT!

but they're everywhere! why would they make them illegal? Would that mean push bars and brush guards are too? I've gotta look into this.

Yep. 99OffRoadRanger was at lunch with us and heard it too. I know what I heard.

I hate to alarm you, but we ARE talking Massachusetts here. Which is one more reason why I'm glad I live in New Hampshire.

Motoring organisations say that people who have been involved in car accidents should sue drivers of vehicles fitted with illegal bull bars that have caused damage and personal injuries. They say the number of pedestrian deaths and driver injuries is increased by vehicles that have bull bars.

Ninety % of available bull bars are actually illegal. Solicitors who give car accident advice have for many years been calling for a change in the law. There are now plans to ban the use of bull bars on four wheel drive cars completely. The Government wants to bring in measures which would make metal bars illegal within three years.

The main hazard of bull bars: people slip underneath instead of over a car The main hazard with bull bars is that when a normal passenger hits an adult pedestrian, the person is not run over but under, sliding over the car bonnet and the windscreen. When a pedestrian is hit, the body is punched away from them, then under the car.

The force of a collision is focused on the area of the bull bar, meaning that a relatively minor car accident can have disastrous consequences.

German research shows that 95% of children would be expected to survive the impact of a car accident at about 20 miles per hour. A car fitted with bull bars would inflict life-threatening personal injuries on all children it if were travelling at 12 miles an hour, and they would possibly die at 10 miles an hour.

Did he tear that off an old steam locomotive??? Or is that just a cut-down roo bar off an Aussie road train?

Where did you guys here this from? I've been googling it but no luck thus far.

I can see brush guards and push bars being dangerous, but i thought bull bars were pretty much just for looks oh well, theyre too expensive anyway

It came out Mad Hatter's mouth. He claims he saw a Mass State Trooper make a guy remove his brush guard IN A SERVICE PLAZA before he could drive the truck any further.

I may be wrong, but I know what I heard. And it made me go "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" too.

Around here the cops are so dense you just say your window tint is stock, or that your exhaust just sounds like that because you have a mesh muffler that is a new design to breathe better......
And they go, oh man, where can I get one of those? I bet it adds like 70 hp.

Gooohhhd Gaaahhhh Gotta Love The South!!!!

wow. with all that bad news about front guards, guess there is only one thing you can do with your truck now. donate it to a very good cause. i'll pm you my ph. no. so we can make arrangements for me to come take it off your hands.

I prefer the pre 06 emblems for some reason, but 06 on up look good. Are you just looking for appearance upgrades, or just any project? I'd do some engine upgrades if I were looking for something to do. I'd start with underdrive pulleys, and exhaust.

i like the 06+ ones. Not necessarily just appearance, but im on a budget and performance costs money. I want my truck to stand out, but not be too over the top. Exhaust may be in my future but it actually sounds pretty good now. Someone I work with who is big into cars actually commented on it and asked me if it was stock

I want it to look and work good.

so if u get hit by a truck without bullbar u will survive, and if u get hit by a truck with a bullbar u will die. what a great logic!..._
