Have you actually found someone stupid enough to pass this, or do you plan to peel it off yearly for inspections?

Actually yes...I own a mobile window tint buisness so either way its no big deal.
I tint the windshield for privacy and heat rejection which made a huge difference.

Nice lookin cherokee. I believe I saw you at cars and coffee last month, I had the 85 4runner. That thing sits WAY to high for just 32's.

 

[ncxj33]

That was me. I had got 35s installed friday before cars and coffee. 35s are perfect!

8.25 installed, freshend up with new bearing, seals, brakes, 4.88 gears, limited slip, Kryptonite diff cover, brake lines/hoses. Front d3was also freshend up with new 4.88 gears, seals, bearing, joints. East Coast Gear Supply did a great job for me. (I work 2 jobs and 80 hrs a week, no time to install myself). I am more than pleased on how it rides plus I gained gas mileage from 7-13 on hwy. This fall I plan a weekend Uwarrie trip with my pops.
