Topic: lets compare 4x4 culture Iceland vs. U.S.A

[Bazzi]

well I am thinking. and that doesnīt happen werry often but still....

I have never been to the u.s. so tell me what I am missing.
lets compare the difference between Icelandic offroad and U.S.A 
For starters.
hopefully  99% of the trucks here are  street legal, and examined on the tires they are going to be driving on. for an examble my truck is street legal for 39,5" but now I am on 44" so basicly I aint street legal... but letīs not worry about that right now.
1
 our steering. we canīt weld on anything that consernes the steering, if we do we have to have it x-raed, and have a certificate for that part.... there fore ewerything in the steering is threated, and if I use arms from marlin or pitman arm from something aftermarked. I have to get an certificate....
2.
bedlocks. are street legal,
I havenīt heard about any problems with the guyīs that made theyr own kits, but the ones sold and installed by the proffesionals here are way way  how to say...  Itīs worth the money...
3.
the are no closed trails (trails that you can drive a truck thatīs not street legal. there are tho formula offroad, and these guyīs have some places to test and train but thatīs a complete different ballpark.
4.
for street legal. we nead to have mud flaps, and the flaps must be long and wide enaugh to catch anything that the tire throws at it. I think it is to an angle of 30-40°
and fender flares are a must.  wide enaugh to cover the tire threats
5.
trailers are never used under a truck unless something catastroffic has happened.

here in the US, it varies by each state,  here in Arkansas  we dont have to have mud flaps or fender flares,  but our headlights cant be more than 36 inches from the ground

in Cali and some other states  they have to have mud flaps and other states require fender flares also

max height under the bumpers is 80 cm. I canīt remember the heigt for the sides, and there is something simular about the head lamps. and also we must have extra lights if the truck is wider than ? canīt be wider than 245 cm.
