GoldZilla Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I really hate the way that tray utes seem to be able to do this and extend the rear tray way beyond the rear bumber... At the least the body builders should have to extend the rear bumper so it is in line with the end of the tray... I know that this is the law in EU... from a rear crash safety point of view it is scary to think that the tray is already half way up your bonnet before your front bumper hits their rear bumper... Actually, that's a very valid point. Just think about all the road deaths/injuries that occur when a car slams into the back of a truck's trailer. It's similar, but on a smaller scale.

Daleo Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 That's the exact reason why all trucks (in Australia) are legally required to have a "load step" as the rearmost point of trailer or load area. It isn't required in the US and causes hundreds of deaths with cars submarining under the trailer. The first thing that stops the car is the rear set of wheels; and the passenger cabin is already under the trailer, and the driver is missing their head. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/453049-what-have-idiots-done-to-your-stagea-lately/page/2/#findComment-7467645 Share on other sites More sharing options...
66yostagea Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Yeah just Lapsed on my insurance so can't claim on that. This is going to have to come out of my pocket When the 25G got smashed I had Third Party Fire and Theft Cover with NRMA. Because I had it taken home and I stripped the front down to get a quote to fix Nrma said the Insurance was voided. Guess who has changed ALL Home, Car and CTP to RACQ> 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/453049-what-have-idiots-done-to-your-stagea-lately/page/2/#findComment-7467651 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimi Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 wow, its really disapointing to read all these, whilst they make me feel a little better regarding mine its shocking how many people get hit n run... I had only owned mine for about 5 weeks when it was hit (and run) out the front of my house while i was at work. 2000 Pearl White S2 C34 Drivers side front - Takeros front bar all scracthed up and deep - front quarter pannel crumpled - frontwheel guard popped out - Takeros side skirt scratched (deep) and partially popped of the car, that was back in november, going thru insurance but still awaiting the quote for repairs... was told it wont be cheap due to being a pearl white.... very hard to match... got told ill have the quote next week sometime... that is after i took it in in dec 2014 for photos, then again in jan 2015 cause photo's were deleted.. accidentally.... cant wait till she is sitting pretty again.

Kazal Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Seems like every other time I get groceries, some fool has decided to park next to me and smash a nice graze or plug mark in one of my doors Took photos of one of them with the offending vehicle and evidence of my blue paint on their door edge, Rego etc. Left a note, no response. reported to police.... they tried to track down the owner, but vehicle registered in NSW and it happened in VIC.. "no jurisdiction" .... VERY unhappy.

Commsman Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 The guy that smashed them is probably the guy selling them on Ebay, lol. How hard are they to remove? My wreck has both, but I guess you need them in a hurry.

If easy enough I'm sure I could get them to you at a very fair price.
