You should be fine driving that around. Haven't gotten any hassle for mine yet and my front fenders are cut, and no mud flaps.

 

Yea my girl dosent like it to much eather lol

 

See if CA has a inspection manual online.

Before I moved to utah I went through the utah one.

In utah the law has frame height and head light height. Unless you are obviously above it no one hassles you for it.

utah fender flares and mud flaps are huge, flares are supposed to go around the top 50% of the wheel, (9 o'clock to 3 o'clock) and cover the whole tread, most modified vehicles don't have this. So technically a comp cut is not legal in utah, but I see plenty of them running around.

a lot of guys build removable mud flaps and or flares.

in utah usually the inspector will be ok so long as you have made an effort with the mud flaps although they seem to be getting more strict around here lately.

Something that has come up here a lot lately is that the law says that bumpers must be 4.5 inches tall. A lot of people build bumpers out of 4 inch square tube, no one used to ever get hassled about that, but lately people have been failing inspection for that.

The way I see it get the rule book, know how close you are go in see what they do.

-99 I just passed inspection stock and am throwing one tons under it soon...

 

Thanks Nathan! That's probably what I'll do. I found a thread with a bunch of California laws on here but it was an old thread so I don't know how accurate they are. I'll dig around. The mud flaps I can make removable and I'd like to do tube flares eventually anyway. May just have to do em sooner.

Pretty much decided that because she won't be a trailer queen for a LONG time if ever then I'm not gonna do a full comp cut. Just gonna open the back of the well so I can stretch if when I throw the tons under there.

Hit the CA DMV website. Everything you need to know about bringing your Jeep here is on the site. If it isn't call the DMV and they'll be happy to help on the phone.

Side markers are required for safety. With the amount of people on the roads in CA the police have to be more strict about enforcement.

 

Oh I was 0311. That's the USMC equivalent of 11B.

 

im out here in CA as well. and for flares..where i live their not to strict.me and my gf dont have them and havent had any problems..so im sure monterey might be a little similar. and im running a 4.5 inch lift..and i have wheel spacers, which slings all kinds of crap everywhere..but havent had an issue about flaps either..it might just be that my lil cow town is pretty lenient lol
and im sure youll like Monterey..its pretty nice up there year round..well to me it is lol oh..and nice rig by the way

 

monterey sucks...its foggy year round and rarely very warm. as far as the town goes, its nice enough, a little more hippie that I can enjoy but its a good place to visit from time to time

I've found this site to be pretty helpful, and at least for VA everything jived with what I'd heard elsewhere.

 

lol well i only go up there a couple times through out the year..so i dont really experience all the weather lol

 

Depending on how much and which end of your rig you stretch you will have to relocate your g-tank.. and if you run a fuel cell you might run into a few issues with the visual inspection for emmmisions

 

Thanks! Yeah I'm running 5.5" with spacers and it def flings stuff!!!

I'd like to do the rear leaf flip (4" stretch I think) and the front I'm not sure yet. I spent some time today on pirate researching raising the tank 1/2 way through the floor. Probably go that route then close it in with like 16 gauge steel or something. Still mind sketching...
