What Mods can you get away with

[uniuckychucky]

Hey I am wanting to do somethings for my wrangler TJ though in USA they get away with them Such as a Stinger on the front bumper or Beadlocks i want to no if anyone has either of these mods and if they have ever been hassled by the police because of this because im sure that not alot of people know what bead locks are even though they are illegal you could run them and no get pulled over. Another thing is that i run my Tires outside my guards which is apparently illegal though ive never got pulled over or anything but when i went to Camp coffs i was the only Jeep that had their tires past the Fenders.

Stinger will get you a defect for sure, not exactly subtle. Beadlocks not so bad as there are plenty of fake ones runnng around now, tyres outside the gaurds is just asking for trouble. Dont know if that helps or if it's what you wanted to hear

Cheers

No thanks for the reply that for years ive had the tires past the guards never been a problem just don't have them on when your getting it registered it saves scraping your sides and you can continue going even though your stuck on a wall so i dont have them showing off there just out by a inch most cops are worried about people going 5kmph over the speed limit. I would love to try and get some beadlocks even Graham from 4wd action runs them on his petrol so not many people know what they are. I will not be putting a Stinger on even though i would like to have one.

Keep it simple keep it neat, mudflaps, cover your tires, nothing protruding way past the front of your rig

Did I see you driving on the Great western Hwy, city bound this afternoon? If so, It's only a matter of time before you get pulled up by the cops, because those tyres stick out like a sore thumb! Looks a little bit crazy too!

I dont think so My Green Tj has been home for quite some time now the only other person i no that has tires past the guards is my Cousin in a 2011 silver rubicon

Ok, it was a dark green TJ that had been out playing, it was probably about 16:30/17:00 on the Sunday. Really my point was that even if it wasn't you, if your TJ looks anything like it did, you will soon be up for a list of defects if you haven't had you jeep engineered? You're definitely waving a red flag if not! Believe me, having to cover up the tyres is the easiest rectification mod an engineer will get you to do. It's all the other stuff that hurts! Other than the tyres, the jeep I saw would draw little attention to the police otherwise.

stinger will get you pinged like steve F said...... i run beadlocks, they dont stand out as such, but they arent legal... i know that if i get pulled over, its one more thing that i can get done for..... tires hanging out of the gaurds is like waving a red flag infront of a bull..... keep your tires covered.... yes it looks cool to have em hang out, but you'll look silly when you car is on the back of a tilt tray with a defect sticker on it cos the tires hanging out caught a coppers eye....

most of the bigger cars in the club run mudflaps also, again, they dont look as fucky as you want, but it keeps everything neat and legal-ish......

the less attention you can draw to yourself the better in my opinion.......

This is probably the best advice anyone can really give you.
