how are the cops in st george?

[fullsizeyota]

i finally got the cruiser registered, i am getting harassed by the cops up here.. it's full width, i have mud flaps but my WB is stretched, i cant really put any decent flares on it... but i am moving in about a month.... how are they down there? the cops up here in roy, clinton, ogden, riverdale and syracuse are just dieing to crawl all over it..

I got a ticket down there when i lived there a while back for having 4 people in the front seat of my truck. Also got a seat belt ticket because we were all wearing our seatbelts, but there obviously wasnt one for the 4th person. Cop said i should of had the 4th person in the back of the truck.

If there all as anal as this cop was then your screwed.

Mo brother in law got a ticket for "flicking his cigarrette ashes out the window" Funny thing is, he doesnt smoke!

Why can't you put flares on it and have it be 'street legal'? Maybe make the 'quick release' so when you go off-road you can take them off?

I got pulled over down there about a month and a half ago in my Cruiser for exactly that reason- full width axles, with no flaps or flares. The cop was actually totally cool to me though. He just mentioned that at some point, I should really try to comply with the laws at least a little bit, and sent me on my way with just a verbal warning, and complimented me on my truck, too.

Could be worse I guess!

my rear fenders are the ones in question.. the springs are flipped for more WB, but now the wheel well is double the stock size... unless i cut up a 50 gallon drum and use that, pretty much nothing will work

I would love to see the 55 gallon drum sticking 8" out the sides of your rig!! DO IT and post pics!! Make them quick disconnect with wing nuts or something.

Depending how big your tires are, you could add a little sheet metal where there wasn't any originally since that space is just a gap. I have seen people fill the section behind the doors and then use after market Cruiser or TJ fender flares.

I'll have almost the same problem with my YJ (using reversed rear XJ springs on a 'competion cut' YJ tub). I'm going to use a combination of ext. TJ flares and a mud flap to fill in the back spaces. It'll look a little on the 'dumb' side, but street legal .

St. George cops are the worst. There a a bajillion of them and they all have nothing better to do than pull you over for one pointless reason or another.

You're lucky then. And you are REALLY lucky to move down to St. George. Hopefully I can find a job there when I get done. It's getting a little too big and housing proces are INSANE, but for the stuff I like to do, the St. George area is the best EVER. Plus its where I grew up...

i would like to think i am pretty lucky... i am moving down there and starting up a 2nd store for the company i work for.. kinda nervous, but if this takes off, it could be a great opportunity...

the only thing that sucks, everything closes around 10 pm.. the only food place is dennys...
