Stopped by the OSHP last night...
 

...for ten over on Beechmont, not really noteworthy.

What WAS noteworthy was that he actually asked if I knew what my GVWR was, what that allowed as to lift height, and where that was to be measured.

Fortunately, I do. 4,850lbs; 27" front, 29" rear; measured to the stock bumper, unless the bumper has been modified or moved, then measured to the framerail.

The only part I'm not sure of is whether the XJ is a "passenger vehicle" or "other vehicle," because the law itself is really unclear. But since he asked about GVWR, he was obviously giving me the benefit of that doubt.

Anyway, I think he was so impressed that I knew the law, that not only did he not bother to measure the XJ, but he let me off with a warning on the speed, too...

:cool:

i hate our nazi troopers!!! with all the theft and drugs around lets worry about a lift on a vehicle! if whatever u doing is fun its against the law in ohio, maybe its me!lmao

Ohio is better than some places, worse than others. Every time you deal with stupidity here, just think "At least I'm not in California!"

i just comparing cops here to Ky and Tn, seems like cops down there treat u alot better as long u aint doing sumthin retarded!

They are "state highway patrol", not crime fighters! Lol! :evilgrin:

lol apparently!!! i can have greentaco keister stash sum meth and haul for me and they just worry about no mudflaps

Right, it was Highway, not Union Twp.

I was just impressed that he knew the law, and respectfullly agreed that I was in compliance.

I've had UT write me up for reck-op after I PASSED a breath-test leaving Mt Carmel Pub, because I barked the tires leaving the lot. Light rig on lockers will do that...

Robert

well the OSHP is just a ticket giving highway cops. They by law can't go after meth heads unless there on the roadways doing DUMB ****..But our local sheriff's department is the sad disappointment fat lazy in the dope dealers pocket like the scared ***** ass punks they are hey just suck..

First hardline now this, can't get no respect

No mud flap or fender laws in Ohio.

it is called a joke

Dats not allowed up here!

Mudflaps sheeeesh!

come on taco it's all fun and games till someone gets an eye poked out.

I'll be blind soon :sweatin:

Good to hear he let you off..Lucky,I hardly ever see a state trooper in my area.The few times I do see one ,I expect them to pull me over.So far I've been lucky....:sweatin:

from what I have heard safety checks are coming back too.:eek:

I just went out and checked mine 4600lb GVW Tj bumpers are good 26 lowest in the front and 25 lowest in the rear. Is there anything else the Cops get dumb about around here?

What does that entail?

The e brake check is the only thing that bothers me, is because I never use mine so they rust up.

I think the e-brake requirement is kind of dumb, especially with a standard transmission. I would never consider using my foot-operated PARKING brake in an emergency situation.

Ew. That sounds bad. I know my rig is safe, but I can only imagine what the random casual observer might think.

Google doesn't find anything, where did you hear this?

Robert

You have bumpers? Really

Easiest way to pass inspection.... Buy a trailer
