So are we talking a fix it ticket or a fine?
If you live in the state that you are getting the ticket in, you can "fix it" and have it signed off. If you are from out of state, it's a "fine".
So flaps for the pilgrimage. I was going to leave them home. :thinking::grayno:
You can leave yours at home if you want :yup:
But as far as fenders go what is the requirements on those?
You cannot have your tires extend beyond the fenders... AT ALL. Most cops won't give you grief if you're just a little out or if you're even running a full width bumper BUT, if you're running 37's or larger and with a stubby bumper, your tires will stick out like a sore thumb. MOST of the tickets I've gotten have been from CHP and south orange county cops like down around Dana Point. Most Sherriff and local PD's will leave you alone or will stop to talk to you about your Jeep :yup:
So just a bit of a technicality question. If a CA cop writes a fix it ticket for tires sticking out past the fenders and mud flaps aren't enough, what's the fix? Borrow a buddy's set of factory tires for an hour and get it signed off?
Just thinking of all the fun that comes along with my new Slabs!
Technically, yeah, that is something you can do. I've only had 1 instance where I was pulled over for my fenders EVEN THOUGH I had mud flaps but the cop was cool and just let me off with a warning. I've also had 1 instance where I got pulled over for not having mud flaps on and, when I went to get it written off at a local CHP station, the officer give me crap about my fenders and almost didn't write the ticket off. You're best bet is to live in a state like Nevada or have a friend who happens to be a cop help out.
It annoys me when a state expects an out-of-stater to know what their revised codes are and alter their vehicle to pass through.
My vehicle is licensed in OH, it passes Ohio revised codes (mostly). At least PA which is crazy strict leaves me alone when I'm there. :yup:
For the most part, CA will leave me alone now that I have NV plates. The only time I still get grief are along certain routes up in the mountains. As far as UT goes, forget it. If you go to a place like Moab without flaps during EJS, you'll get pulled over for sure.
