Hey. Whats the official ruling on the height for the bumpers on a 4x4 to pass recon? Is there a height minimum for the headlights as well? What about lift kits, is there a maximum to stay under?

Tanks ah!

[ninja_skillz]

Damn. Maybe I should have posted a fling thread about nothing substantial.

[lois]

§291-35.1 Regulation of bumper height. Maximum bumper heights of motor vehicles shall be determined by the weight category of gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) as measured from a level surface to the highest point on the bottom of the bumper. Maximum heights are as follows:

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating Front Rear
Passenger vehicles 22 inches 22 inches
4,500 lbs. and under 29 inches 29 inches
4,501 lbs. to 7,500 lbs. 33 inches 33 inches
7,501 lbs. to 10,000 lbs. 35 inches 35 inches

For any vehicle with bumpers or attaching components which have been modified or altered from the original manufacturer's design to conform with the maximum bumper height requirements of this section, the bumper height shall be measured from a level surface to the bottom of the bumper. The vehicle frame rail, measured from a level surface to the bottom of the vehicle frame rail, shall not exceed the attached bumper height. The maximum distance between vehicle body to vehicle frame rail shall not exceed three inches. The distance between the vehicle body to vehicle frame rail shall be measured from the vehicle body mount seat to the vehicle frame rail mount seat. "Bumper", for purposes of this section means a horizontal load bearing protective system installed on a motor vehicle which is constructed of sturdy materials that will not shatter or split upon moderate impact and provides adequate protection against damages to the front and rear external lighting and reflective devices, hood, trunk, doors, painted surfaces, cooling system, exhaust system, and other components during a low speed impact. Any vehicle that exceeds the Vehicle Equipment Safety Commission -Regulation 12 recommended bumper height, based on the gross vehicle weight rating, shall be equipped with an audible reverse warning system. The audible reverse warning system is not required on any open cab vehicle with a distance of less than four feet from the rear of the driver's seating position to the rear most part of the vehicle body.

[Udrivecrap]

[Jesse S.]

No limit height.. but has to be secure to the car. Not sure if having it in the dash is okay..

:plane:

[lois]

securely mounted to the front, no license plates on dash.

[Latka]

Jeez can't you guys Google stuff yourselves? ;) All ya gotta do is that or head to the Hawaii State website and you can search the HRS pages 'yerself.

Lazy bums! :)

[lois]

you think THIS is bad? you should see the guys at FH. they don't read stickies, they make a thread about the same subject even if someone JUST posted one four threads down, they don't use search (granted FH's search was broken for awhile--but they never used it when it WAS working), they b i t ch about tickets they got that was totally their fault and blame the cops for them speeding, and argue about subjects they're really not well-versed in.

now THAT place is a nightmare. :rofl:

[Jesse S.]

Thanks Lois!

yeah stuff changes on the whims of the local DOT head...so as i regretfully informed Mike, the link to that recon document is all we have in terms of online help. aside from us guys.

oh i don't see anything wrong with that, as long as it is "securely mounted".

my son said to post this smiley for you: :crazydriver:

[Udrivecrap]

:Dsorry, i didn't not answer you because i didn't want to. i figured i'd let someone post first:lila:

if it came in that model of car no need for recon

but, say, for example, like putting a SBC in a Toy...yeah a recon is recommended, although i don't know how many HPD would bother to look if it looked like a sleeper anyway. hope that makes sense.

[Udrivecrap]

that's what i figured, thanks :D
