I was in third gear pulling up hill with comp on 5x5 and out of the blue a rookie cop pulls me over for excessive noise and acceleration. I meant Any way he wrote me four tickets for nothing. Good thing he was on the exhaust side becuase he couldn't hear me burnin rubber . Its stack time baby.


p.s. anyone else have this pleasure?

p.p.s I cant believe this cop could hate my wicked bad sounding Cummins

 

Four tickets??? You call that pleasure??? WOW. That sounds expensive to me..............................

 

i did get a warning for excessive smoke. he told me next time ill get a ticket.

 

You have not had one for the jacked truck? Thought they were hot on that, must have stock bumper hight.

 

the four tickets were mostly just because my address isnt current on my licence and registration sticker not visible...etc. Only one for the noise.Like I said , he was a newjack. Still, sucks to get any ticket

 

Heres my so called "broken muffler"

 

ive had warnings for no mud flaps and no fender flares. the lift is within legal limits. they have measured it a time or two.

I know that they measure lift hieght in Utah form the gound tho the lowest point on the frame. So a chevy has the advantage here because that is all you see is frame. I for 3/4 ton it is 27"

 

In Oregon if your bumber is x number of inches off the ground you have to get mud flaps. A few years ago I got a ticket in my old chevy(1973), it had a 6" lift and 36" swampers. Funny thing is I can't remember exactly how high your bumber can be but I think my chevy was to high stock. I put mud flaps on and took a pic and sent that with a check to the court. They sent my check back.

Jim can you give me some info on those traction bars in your pictures?

 

I got my flares the same time I got my lift,
got a kinda warning about the mudflaps when I got it inspected, they said they'd pass me,
but said I could still get pulled over for the lack of them,
so I fixed that ASAP.


I've never been bugged about anything about my truck, but know of at least 3 others in Utah with the same size lift, same size tires, and they got nothing but headaches from law enforcement.

I love being in Texas.

 

yeah me too....except for 90% of the year when its too damned hot to breathe.....

 

Hot? What's hot? I only know scorching and sizzling. What's this hot term you speak of?

 

Just the universals from the local four-by shop. I love those things. they do a great job for sand ,snow ,and burnin rubber
