Well, Ive got my Ex up and running pretty well these last 4 weeks, and I felt i better take it thru NJ inspection before I put fat tires on.
Anyway, they failed me for putting some aluminum tape over a rust spot in the rear bumper! I was like Really?
So the guy said yeah, you cant cover holes in a bumper with tape, "they " dont want nothing a "kid" can stick his hand thru.... OOOOOOOOOKKKKK
So I leave, and im thinkin I would have been better off just putting a "Kill Em All, Let God Sort Em Out" bumper sticker. And wait a while, what ABOUT a bumper sticker?
Well I really want to put some new tires on but I dont want to fail again, so I go junkyard hunting for a new rear bumper. Found one, little bent, and went and put it on. Went back and passed inspection.
Lookin at the front bumper, and its out bent of whack, and I straitened the rear, so I took it off and straitened the front.
Now i cant get it back on strait- left side end is down and right side is up (around corners where meets fender well. Across front perfectly strait
I used jacks on both sides to hold them, and shoved them all the way up in adjustment slots - stll crooked
How can I get them to line up right on sides?- BTW bumper is strait.
