[QUOTE="TBItoy, post: 642357, member: 1384"] I can't find [u][b]any [/b][/u]mention of wheels/beadlocks in the TN motor vehicle codes. Link: [url=https://www.tn.gov/lawsandpolicies/section/laws-motor-vehicle]https://www.tn.gov/lawsandpolicies/section/laws-motor-vehicle[/url] Required Equipment section [url=https://www.tn.gov/lawsandpolicies/topic/55-9-part-2-required-equipment-on-vehicles]https://www.tn.gov/lawsandpolicies/topic/55-9-part-2-required-equipment-on-vehicles[/url] Other fun facts: Gotta have a parking/e-brake 55-9-204(a) [url=https://www.tn.gov/lawsandpolicies/article/55-9-204.-brakes-equipment-required-on-various-type-vehicles-penalty]https://www.tn.gov/lawsandpolicies/article/55-9-204.-brakes-equipment-required-on-various-type-vehicles-penalty[/url] And your brakes have to work decent (including E brake) [url=https://www.tn.gov/lawsandpolicies/article/55-9-205.-performance-ability-of-brakes-penalty]https://www.tn.gov/lawsandpolicies/article/55-9-205.-performance-ability-of-brakes-penalty[/url] Gotta have a rearview mirror [url=https://www.tn.gov/lawsandpolicies/article/55-9-206.-trucks-to-be-equipped-with-rearview-mirror]https://www.tn.gov/lawsandpolicies/article/55-9-206.-trucks-to-be-equipped-with-rearview-mirror[/url] Bumper requirements and lift laws (note that virtually any moderately lifted Jeep or truck is probably illegal by frame height...)

And aftermarket knuckles/spindles. BUT the very next section kinda reads like it can be disregarded for virtually any reason (c) This section does not apply to freight motor vehicles and/or other[b][u] vehicles that have designs which would intrinsically preclude conformity with this provision[/u][/b]. This section also shall not apply to any vehicle that has an unaltered and undamaged stock bumper or energy absorption system as supplied by the manufacturer of the vehicle. SO, they way I read that is: If I "design" the vehicle to be a rock crawler, I can do whatever I want to the steering, etc... (probably not how lawyers would read it...) :wtflol: [/QUOTE]
