So I was pulled over...

[CJ the noisemaker]

I was pulled over because the cop told me I;

-Failed to maintain speed

-Failed to maintain lane

And he said I was only going 60 MPH at the fastest...

The speedo said 70. So I guess I have been going slower than I thought. And the steering drifts off to the side, he had a good eye.

lucky he didn't see me passing: (link down below)

lol.. woops. It's probably the tires [maybe] that make you think you're going faster. Also, in retrospect, you weren't even going the speed limit in those videos. lol

lol.. woops. It's probably the tires [maybe] that make you think you're going faster.235/75 R15?
Probably matters that I'm running Daton Thoroughbred tires on the passenger side, a Wrangler RT/S on the front, and AT on the back.

Strange. When I had the same size tires on my 87, it would read fast like that. After I put 31x10.50x15 on, GPS reported correct speed.

[suzq044]

lol, yeah; matching tires help with being pulled one way or the other; I would guess the Jeep pulls the direction of the least off-road tires.

[DerekTJeep]

Did the cop ask how you would go that fast in an ugly rig that does not have a turbo engine????

I hope that the ticket was not too severe.

[letank]

that oil pressure is no good.

So did he write you up for something, or was he just trying to see if you were intoxificated?

I actually use my GPS as my speedo.

Yeah; we use my Droid to check the speedo's

What was the speed limit? The interstates around here have a minimum speed of 45 with the limit at 65.

I say it was gnomes, holding onto the end of the speedo needle with some fishing line. They're tricky like that.

[CutterN55]

what are you geared at? When I went to bigger tires I was reading slower than actual speed on my Speed-O until I regeared, now I read 2-3 miles faster than I'm actually going with 33x12.50's. I get a little wandering around on the freeway, but that's with no sway bars or track bars.

The story behind this: I was leaving Carson after my last class of the week. Then, I suddenly thought of the gas cap I may have left behind at the gas station. I lost my first one Wednesday, so I got a second one from the Pnp. I turned off to a side road, and got out. Luckily I put the cap back on, And as I left I pulled a U-turn and seen the cop. Once I got back on to the highway, he came after me pretty quickly. I was already down the highway when I seen his lights pull up next to me. There is a pair of bridges that I drift off to the right to avoid hitting the bumps, he seen that. Then he pulled behind me and lit me up.

I told him I had a pair of safety scissors... :thumbsup:

After he let me go, I seen him 20 minutes later. And whudda know? he pulled someone else over! He was on a roll.

What was the speed limit? The interstates around here have a minimum speed of 45 with the limit at 65.Hwy 395 through the north end of Carson valley has a speed limit of 65. everyone goes 75-80.

CutterN55, I have 3.31 gearing.

Oh he must have been admiring your georgeous hunk of American steel. :thumbsup:

Oh he must have been admiring your gorgeous hunk of American steel. :thumbsup:I know, huh?

And tgreening, I seen your comment. That is my friend who was into rock crawling with a 300 six Bronco. And he always criticizes my vids for fun.

CJ - You are risking shortening the life of your viscous coupler when running that NP229 in 4hi with the tires mismatched like that.

CJ - You are risking shortening the life of your viscous coupler when running that NP229 in 4hi with the tires mismatched like that.Yeah, I know about that. But my hubs were unlocked though, does that make any difference? The only time I lock the front hubs are when I take it off road.

Or maybe just your gorgeous hunk? :p

[fulsizjeep]

Yeah, I know about that. But my hubs were unlocked though, does that make any difference? The only time I lock the front hubs are when I take it off road.ANYTIME YOU ARE IN 4HI and on any sort of hard surface you will have the different tire diameters working against the coupler. When I say that, I am assuming you have the hubs locked. ;) If you put it in 4HI and have the hubs unlocked, be ready to find another tcase.
