Re: PA door laws on a CJ
Up here in Canada, a vehicle has to have the safety equipment it was
sold with.
On some motor bikes, that means no signals and even no brake lights.
On an 82 Jeep, it wasn't sold with doors, they were an option weren't
they?
Did the cop check the lumens coming out of your lights with his fancy
meter?
I bet you just ran into a cop having a bad day.

It's good to know next time I'm in PA (perish the thought) I'll be safe from
criminals running around in lumen-challenged CJs without doors! (Wonder how
many burglaries occured in PA while he was writing this poor guy up?)

Re: PA door laws on a CJ
I've been thinking the same things. I did tell him in '82 doors were optional,
but he said no Jeep is exempt anymore. I wondered about the candlepower that's
visible through the screens. They're not as bad the solid-bar style, or even
worse the "blackout" light covers. There's a guy running around here in a
lifted Toyota truck. He put the blackout covers over his headlights, but since
he couldn't see at night (DUH!!) he got the brightest, most annoying fog lights
and put them on top of his already too-high bumper. Great for being blinded in
the mirror.
The area (Carlisle) is known for the cops being ****** during the big
car-show weekends. Same thing in York. It's not good enough we spend a
weekend in their hotels at $90 a night and eat in their restaurants six times
in a weekend at $15 a person. No, they need to get more $$$ from people
visiting the area. No wonder this is the year i stay at a hotel for the Jeep
show. And i'm packing two coolers of food and beer.
Just ranting......

Re: PA door laws on a CJ
Perhaps you should write a letter to the Chamber of Commerce detailing what
you did below. If they are loosing potential business then they would apply
pressure to the Mayor or Chief of police. Hit where it hurts and let them
know about it.
