Vehical inspections??? Last time I had to do that was in '97 lol. I think they need to though, keeps the real unsafe ones off the road. Where I live there would be a LOT of mad people. I see a lot of rough looking cars and trucks that I can't believe they run. Arkansas, where you can drive without a windsheild, but have to have wipers lol.

Once your fenders are cut up so high, you can't get fenders in there. I think some guys are welding a plate under their fenders to make a metal flare.

The only time i got pulled over for having cut fenders and my tires sticking out is when i went on the highway to transfer from one trail to another bout 3 miles down the high way i was in the back of the back and i guess my tires where cleaning them selfs all over the police car behind me hahaha, all he told me is that it was illegal and to get it fixed i pretty much shrugged it off and hit the trails again haha. thats the only problem i have had.
