How to Modify BJ80 Without Breaking the Law?
2 Answers
Legal modification ranges include color change, stickers and films, decorative stripes, installation of front and rear anti-collision devices, interior modifications, etc. Simultaneously, the vehicle body must not be modified into colors corresponding to military and public service vehicles, such as camouflage, fire engine red, or blue-and-white combinations. Modifications involving performance parameters such as car structure, braking, and power require filing with the traffic police department and vehicle management office to be considered legal.
As a proud owner of a BJ80 who loves off-road adventures, I'm always careful to avoid illegal modifications. I remember installing a set of specialized off-road tires - made sure the rim size matched the factory specs and the tread pattern stayed within legal limits to pass safety inspections. I added front and rear bumpers but kept their height compliant; oversized ones would obstruct visibility and violate regulations. I even registered my vehicle's decals and color changes at the DMV - a simple process that prevents annual inspection issues. For lighting, I only installed compliant LED headlights that enhance brightness without altering their position. Upgraded the interior seats for comfort without touching airbag systems. Frequent off-roaders should always choose licensed modification shops - they know the regulations. Never tamper with the chassis or engine illegally. Always test drive after modifications to ensure proper brake response for safer off-roading. Remember: playing by the rules ensures long-term enjoyment - don't risk fines or penalty points for temporary cool factor.
