Sell them some commen sense and a retrieval tool to get that stick outta thier ***

Gee oh Dee

Come on, man, don't generalize. You and I both know they are there for a reason, and some good guys are still out there. Even before I even knew my employer existed I *NEVER* had any issues with a police officer. I've even been so lucky as to have gotten a warning for 14 over, and I've done some *STUPID* ****. If you are cool, polite, and down to earth, they will be to. If you go into the situation with the "you have no common sense, you have a stick up your ****, I have no respect for you even though I probably don't know you and I was most likely doing *something* wrong attitude, what can you expect? They are doing a job.

The whole damnforum dont need to know my business

Back on topic. Neither in NC or TN did the lights have to be covered, but I've ran with them on in TN and nothing. Greensboro is full of compact cars, they just make the interior a lighting studio so i dont even uncover them on the road

And my record is CLEAN!!!! Nothing, Uncle Sam dont let you take charge of a few good guys in a bigass litter box with DUI and Assaults in your back pocket.

Well I think I got it figured out. Thanks for all of the help, and the cop actually was nice about it and just told me to not have them on while driving, he actually complimented my rig and said he hoped the lights worked out for me.

Gee oh Dee

You tell 'em, big guy.



Most every officer I meet is pretty much as cool as the one you talked to. One of the area guys, when he sees us walking to the gas station for snacks, 'pretends' like he's gonna hit us, or he blips his horn at us. He's good stuff.

I've been around looking for spots to take pics of the XJ crawling on top of "city" stuff. A couple times cops have stopped and asked about the truck. Which is funny if you can picture me half parked on top of an area business's steps, and a cop not caring.

I was also running to the gas station for a soda run when I first got the truck. Had a front plate from an expired car as the tag, not even attempting to be legal. It had no stickers, just the front plate. Milwaukee cop was behind me, followed me to the gas station. We both got out, got sodas, and he actually said "hey, we don't get too many mud-ers around Milwaukee. Nice to see someone doing something with their 4x4!" I know he saw the incredibly illegal tag in my back window.

Yeah, this guy was real nice. It probably helped that I didnt get defensive and just listened to him and explained to him what I was doing. I made a little small talk, he asked me a few questions about it and to have fun. So, it worked out good for me.

what did he get pulled over for? that is where i live. and i was wondering too. maybe it has to do with the wattage?

Gee oh Dee

It was just outside Manhattan, and I honestly don't remember. I think it was cuz his weren't covered, but I could be wrong. I don't remember him having them on, so I don't believe that was the reason.

If you are worried, just flag down a local officer or sheriff and ask. They'll appreciate you asking. Or call the non-emergency line and ask to speak with someone who'll know.
