Yeah for sure. I think some people just drop there jeep off at the nearest place an hope for the best. You have to make friends an alliances in this lifestyle, just like cars. You get into the scene enough you know the right people an who to hang out with.

Anyways, congrates on the chamber pros!!! That will look awesome!

Funny, the inspection issue in Pa keeps rearing its head. I understand concerns so don't think I'm dismissing them, but its really interesting how subjective these guys are. I printed a photo of the new Dynamax Quietcrawler install Eddie posted on Rubicat this morning and asked my inspection guy if it was legal in PA. His comment was "I'd pass you." I also showed him photos of my Chamber Pros I just got in and the fender chop I did yesterday and asked the same question and he said, "No problem" on the fenders and "Can you please bring the beadllocks in, I'll mount them for free! We've never done a set of those before!" All about relationships I guess..

Exactly, it's all about your relationship with the shop or dealership. The dealership I got my jeep from works closely with Quadratec so they are very lenient with my jeep and others in general but it's a far drive. I have made good friends with a shop in town and they have passed me twice now without batting an eye. The one time they even passed me without my doors on. They told me technically they needed to be on for inspection but would let me go without.

Relationship with a inspection/service person is good but it doesn't get you any favors when you are pulled over for a violation. It all depends on where you live in PA. and how bad a trooper wants to burn you.

Your reading too much into this, you think every police officer is into jeeps or off roading? No, hell I would bet most don't even know what a beadlock is. I had state troopers behind me in traffic plenty of times. I have no bumper an beadlocks.

The risk isn't as great as you think. I even went two years without an inspection sticker... Just to see how long I could let it go. Finnaly dcnr caught it when I was at my local park. Even then he didn't give me a fine, he said just go an get it inspected.
 
Ever see one of those diesel pickups with the tires that stick past the fenders a foot? 3 or 4 inches are nothing. And I've never seen a cop look to see if you're running wheel spacers....
