Not to get off topic but did that pass NJ inspection? They failed my cherokee for the doorless mod to the hinges (doors were on vehicle at time). I don't know how you would get away with that radical of a mod. Maybe my local inspection station station just sucks. And I take back what I say about the bronco wanna-be thing, I guess the few up around here were just done half***.

it passed at a local shop. the shops have a tendency to be more lenient than the dmv stations but it passed emissions and safety and everything a normal car would have to pass. i have been driving it around for 4 months now and only got pulled over once because i had taken the flares off and my tires were sticking out way far. i told the officer i have flares i am putting on and he gave me a warning. w/ flares on no problems.

i live in pitman nj... i go out to Wharton a lot but i cant make it this Sunday. pm me next time you go i would love to wheel with some new people.

ill also be going to the q-tech tent sale and the grass roots jeep show in vineland
