Well that would definitely explain that! I live in Wyoming. Where you don't even need a license/permit to conceal carry a handgun. Lol A bumper is definitely not a controlled item in this state. In fact, very little about your vehicle is controlled. No emissions testing, nothing. If you're not driving commercial, they could care less what you drive.

he may not have the resources to develop something and have it tested to see if it meets the feds 49 CFR Part 581 regulation not including any state laws involved in the matter for their own standards. but if you do by all means go for it.

Right, but the companies that build them, again NOT ALL have contracted with the DOT to obtain a 50 or 49 state street legal permit. This nullifies any claim on behalf of the company or user. I can personally build a bumper stronger than anything on the market . but will it cause me to have a liability? Would i know how to make it so the airbags will still deploy? will it crumple to soften impacts? Probably no because I don't have a test facility and neither do you. my point is still valid. For instance 3 years ago give or take a buddy of mine was driving his K5 down a country road where he came upon an intersection . a lady did not see him pulled out and he T-***** her . she was DOA . after an investigation he actually got SUED because of his "home made" bumper for reasons that it was not to DOT or NHTSA spec. He is still living with that and paying for that to this day. Now Im not condoning custom mods or anything but ever since I heard that my bumpers will be DOT approved . there are reasons why headlight laws exist. bumper height limit laws exist. car manufactures actually spend millions on certain parts of the vehicle such as bumpers, headlights, crumple zones ect... to aid in survivability in accidents. Yours and my fab skills might be top notch but when it comes to your or someone elses life the insurance companies don't care.

I know they do...And I understand what your saying and where you're coming from but I Guess I'm glad I still live in a part of the country that doesn't sue someone for looking at em wrong. And who comes after me would have a bill to pay. You couldn't put liability onto the owner of a USED vehicle. Not knowing prior condition. You could, but I wouldn't think very successfully. And I'm lost on the whole airbag comment...

Btw, got the airbag comment. Lol airbag deployment shouldn't be affected by my front bumper. Either way... I don't even really want my airbags. I'm changing steering wheels to a grant, it won't even have one after that.
