I don't get why you guys think cops are being dicks? The reason they are pulling people over for fenders and flairs, is that without flairs and big tire tread rocks can be thrown indiscriminately at other cars and pedestrains.
And not having covers on your lights can also cause a problem if you accidently hit them. Those SOB's can be blinding.
Going 80 in a 45 is just ridiculous.

i cant accidentally hit them cuz i have separate switches
and i understand why they care about flairs thats why i keep mine on(and they look better) but if i had one that i didnt drive every day i would run real wide tires

you must not live in a state were you get hassled for everthing you do to your jeep or you havent done anything to it, its a pain to be pulled over all the time for stupid reasons.
and they are being dicks when they pull you over for modified exhaust and a sky high diesel pickup with stacks screams by

Well, it's hard to pull someone over, if they already have a person pulled over huh?
I know that people with stacks do get pulled over also.
I live in Cali.
