I've got a 2005 LJ. Wife and I enjoy driving to/from trails/beach etc. Like to have top and doors off, tires stick out past Rubi flares about an inch, have H4 headlights, back seat/brackets/rear seatbelts removed. Think I'll have problems with inspections/LEOs?
Thanks
You should be fine around va beach. As long as you don't drive like a total idiot the cops won't say anything. Had my doors off with no mirrors and a cop pulled up next to me at a stoplight. All he said was nice Jeep. For inspections it all depends on where you take it. Some places are anal about it but I found one that is kinda like a lick it sticker.
And VA Law states that you only are required to have one rear facing mirror in which the driver can observe at least 200 ft rear of the vehicle. Thats where the rearview mirror comes in.
You should be fine as far as inspection goes and stuff. Welcome to Virginia! :thumbsup: Check us out at KMA Offroad Jeep club, we're local to Va Beach. http://www.kmaoffroad.org/index.php We go wheeling all the time. We're going to Rauch Creek June 15-17th if you're interested in going Jeeping with us?
For VA inspections you don't need to have your wheels covered and the lights aren't an issue. If you have offroad lights they have to be covered if they're higher than the headlights and you can't have more than a certain number below uncovered. I believe it's four. If they're below the headlights they'll be considered foglight and have to pass foglight inspections.
As for the rear, unless you've got the seat in and don't have seatbelts you'll be fine. If both are removed they can't fail you.
