jeeps with big tires
 

I've noticed since having 33x12.50's on my TJ that whenever I pull up to
traffic lights I sometimes dont trip them. Also happens in drive through
lines. Do others of ya'll have this problem also?

Hi Troy,
Yes. Usually on about the third cycle, just as I'm about to run it.
it turns green. Running back and forth over the trip wires doesn't
help.

Re: jeeps with big tires
 

those are magnetic loop sensors. You've raised the body of your jeep to
high for the loop too detect it. What to do?? If you doorless, you can
usually hop out and hit the crosswalk button and jump back in your jeep
before the light changes...

Re: jeeps with big tires
 

Yup, in spades because my Jeep is fiberglass. I have had to pull out of
the line so the guy behind me could pull up to change an 'on demand'
light.

I have heard of guys carrying magnets on a stick to run over the line
for a trigger. I don't know if it works.
