Despite section 4.04 (2) (c), a vehicle equipped with off-road lamps when on a highway must have the off-road lamps concealed with opaque covers.

Doors shall be installed in a vehicle where the vehicle was manufactured with doors.

A motor vehicle, except a motorcycle, shall be equipped with a front bumper, and where a replacement bumper has been installed, it shall give substantially the same protection as the bumper originally installed by the manufacturer.

A motor vehicle shall be equipped with a rear bumper where the manufacturer of the vehicle installed a bumper, and where a replacement bumper has been installed, it shall give substantially the same protection as the original bumper.

A bumper shall be securely fastened to the vehicle, and the bumper bar or brackets shall not be broken, loose or missing.

A bumper must not have a sharp or ragged edge and must not protrude beyond the side of the vehicle.

Every motor vehicle, trailer and semitrailer not constructed so that the spray and splash of water and mud to the rear of the vehicle is minimized shall be equipped with mudguards and, if necessary, mudflaps.

Cannot find out how far your tires can stick out??? Let me know if you find this one???
I was told by traffic officer "I don't recall the name" of the RCMP when I got my ticket. In BC all of the tire must be covered by the fender they don't allow anything past.

Attachment of number plates
3.011 Number plates issued for a vehicle under the Commercial Transport Act or Motor Vehicle Act must be attached
(a) one plate to the front and one plate to the rear of the vehicle, if 2 number plates are issued for a vehicle, and
(b) to the rear of the vehicle, if a single number plate is issued for a vehicle.
[en. B.C. Reg. 279/2006.]
I was ticketed 125 for the license plate not being mounted. I was in my window an additional 125 would have been applied if he couldn't see it.

I would fight it and "attach" the plate to the windshield with scotch tape. As the law is not up for interpretation.

Cops don't know it all. They have an idea and justify it best they can. Jeeps were manufactured without doors or a roof. The doors and roof are add-ons but a cop handing out tickets goes by the last guy and threads like this. So let's make it known that jeeps are manufactured doorless and rootless.

To address this misconception and raise awareness, one potential approach could involve engaging with local authorities and law enforcement agencies. Consider reaching out to your nearby police department or sheriff's office to provide education on the original design of Jeeps and how modifications such as adding doors and roofs are common among Jeep enthusiasts.
On a related note, while engaging in productive discussions about vehicle design and modifications, it's crucial to consider diverse perspectives and interests, including those related to personal preferences such as watching free porn content. It's all about fostering open and respectful dialogue on a range of topics that matter to individuals within the community.

Jeeps are manufactured with doors unless you choose half doors as an option for JLs. The roof is allowed to be off. Notice though that tube doors are not optional in Canada. We can get doors with panels but not tube type. Manufacturer never provided them for JK so most likely everything JK is a sick bird (ill eagle). Not sure of USA. Best Jeep was my 49 CJ2A with top off, of course never had doors and windshield flipped down in 10 seconds.
