I have three options....

Had a side job on the East side . Cruisin' down route 28 in the heep,I noticed a Ohio Patrolmen behind me . He pulls me over, asked me if I knew my bumper height and if I was legal. I reply (I have no idea)

For those of you that have not seen me and the heep.

It's cold out so the doors were on.

So, he proceeds on a mission to educate me;) First he checks the door decal( Good thang I had doors) for gvw. After several minutes of trying to read it (It's a freakin' 87 decal it's faded beyond reading) He decides to explain the four door specs .. He explains the rear bumper shall be no more than 26in and the front 24in from the ground. So he pulls his fifty foot tape measure out. Damn I'm over.. (28in rear and 27in front )He's asking me at this point. I have a good eye about the jeeps that look like yours. My reply yes sir you do.:p

He says I have three options; Install smaller tires,Find a welder to lower my extisting bumpers,and/or replace my bumpers.

He said he was going to give me a warning. For some reason he changed his mind after running my info.

Guess I better decide on one of those options.

He hee

Happened last spring on 275 just north of rt 32. It was state highway. Mine was 2 inches over in the back on 36"s. Technically since mine is custom it fails everything. Only 2.5" tall. Doesn't extend to wheel track width. And the height should have been measured to the frame rails.
Guess I'm screwed with the new 40's and D60!!!!!!!Oh I got a warning HA!
