You should get yourself a Goldrush trailer. You can probably get a smoking deal on a Featherlite though.

This is because we used a set of tires that were easier to pass the certifications for use in the states. The original set went right back on after we completed all of the CARB EPA and DOT certs.

For those who might be interested in owning a 6x6 in the states, we have one more that is the same color combo as the one in the picture. PM us if interested! Thanks.

Did you guys have to put the orange side markers to meet the DOT certs?

10 C six trizzle

howd ya'll get past the crash safety testing? Im guessing the headlamps arent above the legal height in stock form either? - although it looks to be gigantic. I live in texas so we see a ton of lifted trucks and real big ones have to mount new lights under the bumper to use for headlamps. It's one thing to get the vehicle here. It's another to make it u.s. road legal. You can import anything here and use it for offroad purposes all you want. Awesome to here weistec converting for road legal. Cant wait to see one in person. badass.
