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...
