More love seeing as it is on tap tonight.

Anyone who seriously thinks their well maintained modified 4wd is safer all round (ie: for others as well as its occupants) than a well maintained stocko needs their head checked.

Jesus Christ, I didnt expect a reaction like this

In my defence, The racial comment wasnt aimed at any specific race, neither was it to say that Australians dont commit alot of the crime hear, it was mearly a stab at the QLD Police for pouring so much money and time into revenue raising on our roads and still letting these horendous crimes happen.
I apoligize if it offended anyone, it certenly wasnt ment to or wasnt ment to cause a stir.

As far as the defect goes, it has all been cleared yet again, as it turnes out the lights are illegal on the windshield and the beam cannot be any higher than the standard head light beam, which i took on the chin and admitted i was wrong, although i didnt no it at the time. Also, it turns out that any additional light must be mounted at least 600mm apart from center to center.... There goes all of the big manfactures bull bar light mounts!!

And my attitude?
What i wrote in my first post i.e. 'What are you going to do about it'.... Was an exageration, it was an agreement between the cop and myself that it was of a legal lift height.
Although, I am a huge believer in the statement 'You must give respect to get respect', and even though he was a Police Officer, when he first pulled me over he showed me absolutly no recpect what so ever, so I dont see it as his right to demand my respect, some may see this as an 'attitude problem', but I have always had to work for peoples respect, and I realise its not something that is just given, it is something that must be earnt. Just because some power tripping ego rider has a blue shirt on and a gun in his belt, doesnt mean he is better than me (or anyone in the public for that matter), he just thinks he is and that means everyone must bowe to him.......

I have never said that running 37's is a responsable thing to do on road, in fact i no it isnt, I no they are extremely attention grabbibg, and as Wayne said, probably not the best image with a 20 year old bloke behind the wheel of a big black Jeep that looks like im out to cause mischief because of my age. I dont think i deserved the 'I think its dumb and rediculas' comments, but thats how it goes, and everyone is entitled to there own opinion.

I have upgraded brakes, axles, and steering, the only other thing i can really do to make it safer is change diffs... Which will happen when they go bang.

If anyone else has something to say, or an opinion to give, please PM me and I will be more than happy to see your point of view on anything I have posted.

Regards,

I was on my way home from work yesterday arvo, got onto the Mt. Lindsey Highway at Greenbank, only to look over my shoulder to see a Highway Patrol car right beside me, he drove beside me for about 20 seconds, cut me off, turned his lights and siren on, and pointed me off to the side of the freeway.

He came storming up to my window on the worlds biggest power trip, asked for my licence, then asked me if i have a mod plate for my 'rediculas' amount of lift.....
I then told him to get his QLD Transport modification book out, i got out and got a tape measure out, and opened his book up to the suspension section. The law hear says we can raise our cars 1/3 of the original bump stop length. Which from factory is about 152mm in a TJ....
I put my tape on the bumpstop, then on the spring, and went.... Its legal mate, 48mm lift... what are you gonna do?

He then looked at the lights on my windshield mounts, and asked me, 'who told you you could mount your lights there?' I then said no one told me, i just put them there, he reckoned they are at an illegal height and could be blinding to other road users.. Even though they wern't even wired up!!!

So long story short, I ended up with a fine for $100 dollars and yet another defect notice because the lights on my windscreen are hazardous to other road users.... This was on my rig, on f**king 37" tires! Nothing said about tire size, nothing about anything else on the car..... The lights....

Again I say, Thank you very much you QLD Police cock heads! How bout you take the time to do some real police work.... Get the kids off our streets.! Do some real police work instead of fining me for having lights on my car! All my respect for QLD police is in the dump after this....

Well that's my rant done,
Piece all!
