What part of the Ohio Revised Code states the wheels have to be inside the fenders?

None that I saw but the state highway speaks of bumper height and fender clearance laws. I do not have the time nor want to exhaust the money to battle this. I do as they say and have been able to drive the jeep thus far with no problems and have passed many officers and even had one stop me and ask about it. Drove the black yj also with no problems and its previous owner drove it daily.

Okay, just checking. We've had quite a few of these discussions within our club and it basically comes down to Ohio having pretty minimal vehicle modification laws. The only thing set in stone are:
1. maximum bumper height
2. all of the lights (turn signals, brakes, etc...)
3. one rearview mirror

Now with that said there is writing in the Revised Code that an officer could write a vehicle up for. Can't remember the exact working but believe it's something along the lines of "perceived hazardous condition" or something...kinda' the catch all.

The bumper height law is by no means strictly enforced because there are a lot of lifted vehicles on the road that exceed it. Back in the days my fullsize Blazer with a 4" lift and 35" tires and stock bumpers (i.e. lower hanging) was right at the limit.

But anyway, enough of going off topic.

I really like the Jeep, and the 8.1L is pimp.

Flxratd (Scott A.) sunday summed up the process in which you have to take before you throttle it up best.

He said "you better have a plan before you let the rpms build".

That statement is so true. It is probably 200 hp more than needed but can make up for what the jeep is currently lacking in the rear leaf spring setup.

9.75-10" You want the rockers? I am looking to go to 42" TSL Irocs.

Just swap your pitbulls on the black jeep and the iroks onto this one....

easy enough and saves you money, also puts less strain on the 4.0 and tranny in the black yj.

Yep I do, lookin for 40s for my 1ton TJ build this winter. Let's see I've got $3.64 right now! Seriously, might be able to work out a deal. Rockers for 15" rim?
