Re: Who Wants To Go Wheeling In The U.S.
hopefully you guys dont get hassled about bumper heights if you decide to go.
"Subd. 4. Maximum bumper height. (a) Notwithstanding the restrictions contained in subdivision 3, bumpers required under this section shall not exceed a height of (1) 20 inches on any passenger automobile or station wagon or (2) 25 inches on any four-wheel drive multipurpose type vehicle, van as defined in section 168.011, subdivision 28, or pickup truck as defined in section 168.011, subdivision 29, when the vehicle is being operated on a public highway. The height of the bumper shall be determined by measuring from the bottom of the bumper, excluding any vertical bumper attachments, to the ground. A vehicle which has an original bumper which does not exceed a height of 30 inches may be modified by attaching a full width bumper to the regular bumper to meet the height requirement. The attached bumper must be at least 4.5 inches in vertical height, be centered on the vehicle's centerline, extend at least ten inches on either side of the frame, and be attached to the frame in at least four places with angle braces at no less than 45 degrees so that it effectively transfers impact to an extent equal to or greater than the original bumper. " -Minnesota DOT regulations

Re: Who Wants To Go Wheeling In The U.S.
I know how you feel... Nobody seems interested in coming to Geraldton this summer, even though there always seems to be a lot of interest when I talk to people in person. But when I go ahead and try to be serious about it and plan it, barely anyone steps up. My thread didn't get the attention I was expecting either. Oh well... That's how it goes.
As for the trip into the U.S., I think my truck is too unpredictable this year... I've done too much work to it. Travelling that far, just for something to go wrong, would really suck.

Re: Who Wants To Go Wheeling In The U.S.
The website is pretty crappy... But if you just take a look at the trails and rigs in the pictures, it looks pretty decent.
