Installed shorter bumpstops (1.25") and shock extensions up front. Gotta test the clearances yet but it's freakin cold and snowy for the first day of spring so it'll have to wait....

Got the back bumper back on today after the chop. Took an inch out of it. I wanted to initially do it for aesthetics but it ended up that the tires rubbed it anyway when stuffed.

Added a rear 20" LED lightbar to the Gobi rack and updated my switches. Hoping to fire it up tomorrow.

I love the lines on your fenders! Have you tried seeing if the tires rub yet?

Seems to do the job. I was more interested in the flood aspect for camping than the spot. Not bad for $29

State inspections blow up there. They check loads of shit like tire wear, ball joint wear, etc. So if you live in pa you have have to not only keep Al Gore happy, but a bunch of other bureaucrats too.

I did my inspection this week in Texas and they failed me for wipers, said they were streaking. What kind of crap is that. I believe they wanted me to buy their crappy wipers. I told them to fail me and I will run to Walmart and you can retest me.

Well, the inspection this time was due to roof lights not being covered. Last year the tires stick out too far per 2 different inspection places. Oh well.
The emissions was a new one for me. I knew I had a recall that required a flash to the ecu so I returned the jeep to stock with my flashcal just so I didn't get locked out.
Apparently, that wipes everything out and it read that the Jeep's monitors hadn't ran.

Our system here is so damn retarded. My cousin had his Jeep fail for the missing light covers too. Are you taking it to dealers or independents? Dealers are just about the worst for sticking to the minor details. I'm lucky as I'm friends with the owner of the garage I've been going to for 30 years. It really helps if you go to the same place year after year. He just rolled his eyes at me this past year when he saw my cut fenders.

Its funny but sad that we have these. I really don't mind the vehicle inspection because most people never even check their oil let alone their brakes, so I can live with that. Its the emissions inspections I don't get. I mean I can understand back in the 70's when our air quality was atrocious, but now? WE DON'T MAKE ANYTHING HERE ANYMORE! There are only a couple working specialty mills but where I live there isn't shit anymore.

Sorry but that's a bunch of bs. I understand things that could cause an accident, but seriously the lights were not covered? What a bad joke. Now I remember why I left that state before my xterra at the time needed one

Well, last year I started at Firestone. I knew it was a crap shoot since they're a chain but I figured, it's a 2015, theyll just pass it. Nope. Failed for lack of tire coverage. Which I was running 3.25" backspacing then.
So then I tried a local hotrod/custom car shop. Figured no problem, wrong. They wouldnt touch it either.
Ended up getting emissions here, then took it to "a guy" in my hometown for inspection. (I'm originally from Fayette County and they don't have emissions)
This year I'm running 4.75" backspacing so I figured it was worth another try. Didn't see the lights issue coming.

So roadtrip to your buddies for the state inspection, put a hundred miles or so on it & take back for emission at the previous shop! :thumb:
