yea. add rear view mirrors,turn signals,hiway approved lights(front and rear). go through a safety inspection. pay MORE money for a hiway tag and oh yea i almost forgot hell has to freeze over too. or you can move to montana
p.s. : dont forget the dice to hang from the rear view.

Because of the handling characteristics, ATVs are not approved for highway use by DOT. This is also why the M151 military jeeps, which were repaced by hummers, were not sold to the public. Unlike the Willys military jeeps, the M151s IRS was too unstable.

hey duputy. i'v read your input before and i gotta tell ya i usually dont like you guys but you sound allright. i am pretty sure that if you get a set of dice you can ride them on the street.

Don't dog the Baby Broncos I had one lifted on 33s that I put a bored-out 302 in. I did two 360s @ 80 mph in the median after hydroplaning in the rain on I-75. It never rolled over though. I loved that thing, hated to get rid of it.

bftclub · April 06, 2005, 04:32:24 PM

i wonder if the would legalize golf carts?they look awesome lifted..and you can hang fuzzy dice and c.d.'s off the mirror and have a bass-hitting stereo lol

Truegrit · April 06, 2005, 05:50:10 PM

Did ever wonder how older folks get away with riding golfcarts along the sides of roads and on side walks in older "golfing type" communities. And don't mean gated communities. I have seem the drive 2 or 3 miles down a side walk next to a four lane road to get to a 7-11. I just don't understand the double standard.
Of course I have never seen a 80 y/o woman cat-walking down the black top on a modded out Raptor. Maybe that has something to do with "The Law's" strict ATV policies.

Check out some of the previous Dirt Wheels mag and you will see a couple of street legal 4 wheelers. One traveled from Califonia to Florida (I believe). They were converted to three wheelers, with the single wheel in the back. It looks kinda neat.
