zeitgeist57 Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 I was talking to some guys at CC&C, and Tom mentioned the legality of having a rear rollpan on a truck in place of a step bumper. I'm liking the idea of going this route, but I don't obviously like the idea of getting pulled over... Anyone with bodyworked (bumper-eliminated) pickups that have had problems with the cops? I'd still keep a rear plate with LED plate light... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 I never had an issue with my ram.. Had a hidden hitch too with the flip up license plate.. http://i477.photobucket.com/albums/rr133/probin007/Bpillar.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattKatz Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Considering some pickup come With them completely stock, I'd say it's ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trucks that come with them stock, have bumper supports... Trucks that come with steel bumpers on the back, swapped to a roll pan have no support other than the frame rails.

Nickey4271647545519 Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 No. Trucks are not required to have a rear bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true....1st gen S10 for example...no support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Not true....1st gen S10 for example...no support I dont think they cared about safety back in the 80's.. I cant think of many other trucks that come stock with roll pans though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboTank Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 trucks used to come with no rear bumper from the factory. it was an addition. both of my f150's came with no rear bumper and on the window sticker was a charge for dealer installed upgraded chrome step bumper. but i did get into it with a oshp officer once about it. "SHE" pulled me over for no bumper. and one i dropped the facts on her she let me go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboNova Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 I cant honestly think of a single LEO who would mess with someone over a roll pan but maybe someone, somewhere.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboTank Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 I cant honestly think of a single LEO who would mess with someone over a roll pan but maybe someone, somewhere.... she messed with me cause the truck is lowered. i must be up to no good. i probably took her by surprise being a middle aged person in a lowered vehicle. lolerskates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurkvinny Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Many rollpans over the years on lowered, stock, and lifted trucks and a couple blazers... never an issue, even when going through a safety check (remember those?).

ross Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Never a problem with the cops in my s10 and was pulled over several times for "unsafe ride height", but never heard a single thing about the pan. The only problem I had with my rollpan was accidentally ripping it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
