as stated, when the LEO's are in your face, you say.. Yes sir, No sir.
But, those LEO's up at evans MAKE **** UP!
I drove my junk up there a few weeks ago from Puyallup, all back roads.
I get within 2 miles of Evans, and i pull over cause there was a truck riding my ass.
He pulls up to me and says that "that thing is nowhere close to being street legal". I played dumb and ask, "why, whats wrong". He tells me there are at LEAST 10 things wrong with your rig. He started to rattle off a few things.
Mud flaps - OK.
Fender flares - on my rig.. maybe (front sticks out a bit)
Front bumper - OK, but i want every 4x4 in a construction site ticketed, I see minimum 6 diesels every day that are lifted and the front bumper 3 feet or more off the ground.
No Rear view mirrow -Sorry last time i checked you only have to have 2, as long as 1 in on the drivers side.. I have a rear view mirror on each door. its a damn SUV, i can't see anyting out the back window anyway
Exhaust is too loud - nissan V6 with new Cat and muffler, been through emissions, passed and they didn't complain. (its not loud)
and a few other things that i blanked out (cause they were BS)
BUT.. get this....... my home brew bead locks are OK!!!!!!! (i asked)
I didn't argue with him (cause he said I won't ticket you this time, but the next one.....)
I live next to Pierce County Police in puyallup.
I have had 3 cops sitting around me at the intersection in my rig and nothing.. but then i get told a bunch of BS by a LO ranger.. I stated to him, that i live next to pierce county and they don't bother me. He said, well they don't know what to look for.
I know my rig isn't 100% legal, i took my chances as it is safe, and everything works (all lights, blinkers..etc).
But to have somebody tell you BLATENT LIES is not cool. Educate people with the real laws
Just my 2cents.. for people.. the LEO's up there do make up their own rules.
