Also, I just found out that the other jeeper I was going with is not going to be able to go, so it looks like I'll be hitting it solo with the wife and kids. Anyone wanting to meet up is more than welcome. If you already have plans with AZBC I understand. Have fun and tread lightly bros! (and gals)

A. A person shall not operate a truck, trailer, semitrailer or bus on a highway unless the vehicle is equipped with rear fender splash guards that comply with the specifications provided in this section.
B. The splash guards:
1. Shall be attached in a manner that prevents the splashing of mud or water on the windshield of other motor vehicles.
2. Shall extend to a length of not more than eight inches from the ground.
3. Shall be wide enough to cover the full tread or treads of the tires being protected.
4. Shall be installed close enough to the tread surface of the tire or wheel to control the side throw of the bulk of the thrown road surface material.
5. May be constructed of a flexible rubberized material.
6. Shall be attached in a manner that, regardless of movement either in the splash guards or the vehicle, the splash guards retain their general parallel relationship to the tread surface of the tire or wheel under all ordinary operating conditions.
C. This section does not apply to:
1. A vehicle commonly known as a pickup truck with a manufacturer's rating of three-quarter ton or less, except that this section applies if the pickup truck has been modified from the original bumper height design to raise the center of gravity of the pickup truck.

Sounds like a gray area, may be left up to a judge if you really wanted to dispute it. I looked it up because a pal of mine told me how he gets pulled over all the time when I told him about my wishlist of lift/wheels/tires...

I'm not trying to cause a heated debate, just hoping this may help clarify some things. I think if you fight it you will be fine. Just a PIA to have to take time to go to court. I will not be putting them on my jeep. I honestly believe that it does not apply to jeeps.
