Well I got pulled over today for window tint and he wrote me an inspection ticket for tint, bumper height, tires sticking out and covers on taillights.


He did not even check the bumper he just added it to the list for the inspection station to check.



Quote from my webpage:
My goal was to stop getting those $50.00 tickets for bumpers being over 28" and keep the look as before so I decided to use air springs along with 6" Superlift suspension lift so if air bags failed I still have a suspension even when 4 wheeling. With air bags, 4 link (no room up front for bags because of CV axles) alone just one failure (hole in bag, hole in line, bad valve, compressor, ect.) and you go nowhere. So I just added air springs to raise the truck and loosened torsion in front and took out springs in rear to get bumper down to 28" or less and now I have 9" of adjustment.

Did Howard County's finest pull you over? If so, I feel your pain, those guys are nothing but a bunch of pain in the a$$. Those guys having nothing better to do that ticket people since it's so quiet in Ellicott City.
 






Getting pulled over for tint is lame... I would have said something like "Dont you have a job to do..? You know like catching the bad guys? I mean I have tinted windows so what? I pay taxes and I hold a job. I am contributing my part to society."

I had one but he sold his business 6 months ago so I'm out of luck like anyone else.
 


















I'm glad you did.. So when can I take it out for a test drive? I'm only 10 minutes away.. I live off off Mayfield Avenue, in one of the newer houses built there.:D

Just tell me where you live and I'll come by and pick it up.. We can swap for a day.. Your truck for my GF's GS430. She might not like the swap but oh well.
