No defintially talking to Joel. They just pull the insurance in 2 weeks if its not done.

Just let me know when/if you have time..

Or Kohler speak up, I know how much you love fixing stuff :P

Lock to lock is simply steering stop to steering stop, since thats what limits the steering from factory. You basically have to modify your steering stops to hit before the tire hits anything else.

If I remember I will fire off an email on Monday. they shouldnt be asking you to lay the truck out, or inspecting steering when laid out. its BS.

That is what I thought too.... except the asshole cop did the same to me on friday, no biggie throw some bump stops in and good to go.

I also have 2 weeks till my reinspection, seems like they were out yet again in full force

iLLblazer · 08-24-2009, 03:17 PM

The cops are asking you to lay your trucks out? Are you guys getting names/badge numbers?

Its no different than asking someone to do a burnout and then ticketing you for imprudent.

^ Good analogy actually.

iLLblazer · 08-24-2009, 04:25 PM

I just fired an email off about this. Alex and Euter email me all the details you can about this when you get a chance. joel@mindlissmetal

LowNslo · 08-24-2009, 04:56 PM

when i got pulled in years ago the cop asked me to air it out, at the time i didnt know i could have said yes. So yes Joel im sure im not the only one getting asked.

iLLblazer · 08-24-2009, 05:47 PM

I'm just sick of it being the vehicles fault when driving it properly is 100% on the driver. Its like telling a guy his 500 HP car is unsafe because it could reach dangerous speeds. Its up to the owner to drive their vehicle within limitations of the law, be it within the speed limit, or above the scrub line.

Why on earth do you need to have lock to lock steering when laid out?? In the unlikely even of a complete suspension failure, you need to be able to make a U Turn?

Ticket guys for dragging, hopping etc. I have zero issue with that, and would take my tickets/demerits for it without complaint, as you know full well when you are doing it, you are breaking the law. Doesnt mean the truck is unsafe, it means you were driving it unsafely. There's a big difference that they don't seem to care about when it comes to minitrucks and lowriders.

When my truck got towed last year, for the 'handles, and tint' making it unsafe to drive. I lifted the truck for the flatdeck to take it away. Right in front of the cop to be a dink. All I got was a "I dont know if i like what you just did there."

Saw him a few times after that and he never said a word. Still see him to this day pull over people like a jackass, and have many friends pulled over by him as well.

iLLblazer · 08-25-2009, 08:42 AM

Euter/Alex I need more info from you guys ASAP. I'm trying to help here.

Euter, was it actually inspections guys that came to your house and issued the tickets, or was it just regular cops?

Gord from NAAACCC is contacting the guys he knows at the inspections office today, but he has asked me for more details for when they get back to him

EuteR · 08-25-2009, 12:03 PM

Ok here I go..

It was actual inspection cops. They brought the truck and what not. I dont really know what you want to know.

It was one of the inspection guys that saw me when he was off duty and decided to pull super cop the next day.
