Im sorry for referring to the police officers as stupid. I am just frustrated because of the small details of my traffic stops.

I admit that i was wrong and deserved my ticket!
but i disagree with how nit-picky police (traffic cops) are about other things.
i need to work on my truck to make it legal.

I do a lot of offroading and have little time to fix things (or wash my truck)
the reason for no plate is its gets ripped off when i go off-roading and bent under the bumper. My tail light is broken due to a tree (which i have had no time to fix) the fender flares that i have are stock and bigger flares are super expensive..
i am purchasing new mudflaps here in the near future!

however, i was suprised at the responses to my thread and i found it interesting that each person who replied to my thread had 2wd trucks or un-lifted trucks, that are spotless and really really clean. i like to off road, and I dont spend hours washing and waxing my truck. (thats why its so dirty)

sorry if i offended anyone. I accept my fault for speeding. and i am working on fixing my truck to make it more legal.

THANKS FOR THE HONEST RESPONSES!!!

 

I KNOW IM JUST A STUPID PUNK KID! SORRY ABOUT THAT!

 

so instead of wheeling it why not park it till you fix it?

 

dude tails dont cost that much...

 

cause i gotta drive it to school everyday. and to work. and to wrestling practice. ill have some free-time this weekend on sat. so ill take care of some of the stuff..

mud flaps are a priority. but do you really think i need flares?

 

If the cop says you do then you probably do. I'll sell you my stock tails for 40 shipped.

 

i still don't get it, why would you get pulled over for not having fender flares?
my truck didn't come with them so i can get pulled over? wtf
or is it cuz or the wheels sticking out that the cop thought you needed them?

 

Yeah its the tires sticking out too far, flares fix the problem.

 

I don't like flares that are bigger than the factory ones, but if it keeps the cops away then maybe you should just get the bigger ones.

 

get some of that black edging for gardens and screw it into your stock flairs it works wonders and will make the cops happy

 

haha the garden edging!!! i would never do that. I already have the stock flares. but my 33s are 12.5 wide so they stick out a good 3 inches. so i think they see no flaps and then look for other stuff.

 

Front license plate laws are dumb anyway. I wouldn't want to live in a state with them.

 

LOL WUT?????

 

I don't think you're a stupid kid. I don't care if your truck is filthy. If that's your thing, then so be it. Sorry I don't buy the "I'm to busy" argument though. If you know there are things wrong with your truck, FIX THEM. Take an hour out of your off-roading time and fix the problems. You found time to do a 4" lift and 33's didn't you.

I didn't see the first thread, but suspect what most were saying is, if you know there's a problem and don't do anything about it, don't whine if/when you get caught. That's all.

 

^^ x2 i hate my front license plate it sucks *****

 

and looks like ****

 

I agree! Thats why Im glad they dont require a front plate here in indiana!

 

 

There's usually a number of inches allowed outside of the flare. In FL, it is 2" but very loosely enforced.

 

sent PM about lights.

yes i agree. Ive been super lazy by not taking action and fixing up my truck. Thanks for the blatant truth pointed out to me!! (you need that once in awhile)

 

You don't have to like the law. But you do have to comply with it. That's just the way things are. If it bothers you that much, find a bunch of people that agree with you and get the law changed.

 

jtslmn720 !! i seriously just cracked up when i saw that!!! i know your givin me that look!!

haha. tahts trully really funny!!

 

jtslmn720 that is just creepy ha ha

 

I have a set of stock (02) mudflaps. $25 shipped to your door. Pm me if you want them.

 

I've seen an easy thing cops do for fender flare issues. They take a coin, put it against the fender and let it go. If if slides down and hits the road, it's a pass. If it slides down and hits the top of the tire, it's a ticket.

Fender flares are like window tint and lift/lower heights......they differ from state to state / province to province.


To the OP. I missed your original thread also, but thanks for the apology. Takes a bigger person to admit thier mistakes. More should follow your actions.
