Rolling curb Question
Hi
My new home has a rolling curb and l was going to buy a Bridgit but
I was told that the Home Owner's assoc. will not allow it.
Being that l will not be moving in until Aug 31 l still have time to plan something in order to prevent bottoming out.
My 02 has not been lowered.
Any ideas, like placing a piece of wood over it when needed?
Thanks
Alan

Hi
I do not have a picture and there is a committee that can nix it, but searching the archives l think a found a solution using 20X20X1 rubber
Tiles made of tires.
Thanks

By "rolling curbs", do you mean the ones that are at the same angle everywhere along their length and don't change at the driveways?
If so, in my old neighborhood, a guy used a (approx 8' long) section of drill casing laid in the gutter to make the step at his driveway more gradual. This works quite well as it is very heavy so that it doesn't move around and not likely to be stolen. Also, since it is hollow, it doesn't impede the flow of water in the gutter and is obvioulsy very hard and won't collapse.
If I remember correctly, it was 2" or 3" diameter drill casing.
I thought upon seeing it that this was an exceptionally good idea and makes no permanent or structural changes to the city's curb.
Just a thought.....

Did you actually talk to the HOA and explain the situation and your proposed solution? If not, would be a good idea. Otherwise, you may be in a tough situation. Having to put a piece of wood out every time you go in/out of the drive would be a PITA.

Back into the driveway, that way your front wheel is going up before the air damn, when you drive out same thing, just go slow when wheel rolls down curb, helps me!
Of course my car is stock height as far as I know.
