What have you done to your vehicle lately?

Sorry, but isn't that what that means?

State inspections don't check to make sure every part of your vehicle is DOT approved. Some more totalitarian states might, but not here. At least not yet. The TXDMV board would like to change that.

What does "off road use only" mean then?
Why would they state it?

"These parts have been found to cause Cancer by the State of California."

Moral of the story: DON'T LIVE IN CALIFORNIA !!!!

I'm really digging those King shocks, I'd like to put a set on the Rubicon when lift time comes, but damn I dont want to sell a kidney to get them...lol. probably go with some Bilstein 5100 instead.

They’re amazing.

After having them on past trucks, I can honestly say any truck I own will have King’s.

There’s no going back.

Could mean a lot of things... Maybe some aspect of it is not DOT compliant, but not necessarily. It's probably illegal in some states and not in others, so they just say for off road use only so they don't have to research the laws of every state.
...or maybe they say it just so that when some idiot puts a high lift on their mall crawler and flips it on the highway they are less likely to get sued.
Could be they just think it sounds badass.

Are you fucking with me? I have a hard time believing you've never put a non DOT compliant part on your bike or car

One thing to compare, a set of headers that are for "off road use only" v.s. a set of headers with a c.a.r.b approved plate. (California air resources board) so it is good for the street.

Thank California for some guy in a office that will extort a company into paying for an approval process to sell a product. There are some parts that are clearly listed as not for sale in california.

How can a "car guy" not know about the 'for offroad use only' statement? Puzzling.

There's "50 state legal" which means your product carries a California Air Resources Board (CARB) Executive Order (EO) exemption number. To get that means jumping through a dizzying array of emissions tests proving your aftermarket product does not impact the emissions measured by the vehicle manufacturer.

Then there's "49 state legal" which means your product conforms to and passes the EPA's less stringent tests.

Then there's "off-road use only" which means your product has not been tested or certified for emissions contribution.

This is why I asked, that is what it stated.

 

[TheDan]

Here's an example of why if you make anything for vehicles you just label everything as "off road use only"... https://fox17online.com/2018/09/24/company-penalized-for-disabling-vehicles-emissions-controls/

Poorly written article, but you get the idea...

How do you like that electric ratchet?

sorry for the delay in responding ... been travelling around ... Pig trail to the Sisters.

I bought a compact head 1/4" drive and 3/8" drive Milwaukee M12 lithium set.

Amazing little tools. Not a tremendous amount of torque and speed ... perfect for working with cast aluminum. Battery lasts for ever.

Highly recommend.

 

[TheDan]

Nice, thanks! I've been thinking about picking up the 3/8" one...

Question for the TGT brain trust.

Besides craigslist and Offer Up, what are some of the more popular websites to list a car for sale? I don't care if it's free or costs something.

Agreed Facebook has huge market place like craigslist. Only real reason I have an account.
