Re: MA Inspection question

First shop that I always went to said no on tires sticking out to much. Try another shop. Went to another garage, talked to the guys he said they don't look so hard at that, they question the 6" lifts etc. Passed without issue.

MA Inspection question

Mine is due in now and I'm wondering a couple of things:

1. there is no door law in MA, do I have to put my doors back on?

2. Softtop - can I just have the windows in the jeep or do they have to be on?

Thanks

Re: Sway bar disconnected/ antirocks

@Lisah I don't have anything holding up the swaybar, when I disconnect my bar doesn't drop much at all. It's not in the way of anything I've noticed, no change while driving.

Re: Sway bar disconnected/ antirocks

I tend to drive with my sways disconnected during the summer season and I drive an hour each way on the freeway. It took me 1/2 hour to get the damn quick releases disconnected at OFR and I just never put them back on. I don't disagree with what Dan said on the safety of having them connected, I'm a...

Re: Onboard Air

@ Dan - I have the Superflow MV90 I bought it knowing I'd be adding the 35's and this model has a auto shutoff to prevent overheating.. I hate it, the thing gets extremely hot to the point I've burned my self more than once on it. The connector for the hose had a thick foam/rubber padding/protection...

Re: Onboard Air

Hes a good guy, Scott at Central Mass. I didn't mention on board air until after the lockers, it wasn't something I was thinking of anytime soon. But my compressor is a pain in the ass so I started looking into options.

Onboard Air

I'm looking at the next new thing... What are the different units people have for onboard air compressors? How quickly does it inflate 35's?

I'm looking at the ARB High Output OnBoard Air Compressor ( https://www.quadratec.com/products/16104_90XX_PG.htm ).
