so im attempting to sell my truck on saturday.. well today i get a fix it ticket now i cant sell it till fixed... i cant fix it without spending atleast $5,000 (headlight height) if i take it it to get signed off ill get a million other fix it tickets? we got any friendly peace officers that want to lend a helping hand?

Im in Los angeles (Calabasas) right now.. and untill tuesday .. you would save me the sale of my truck or $5000.... let me know.... that would be awesome!

 

Wow that sucks, I almost fell like telling you to move your headlights to your bumper but then you still have the bumper height to high.

 

their is no bumper height law... I'm pretty sure i cant just pay a fine either i have to fix it...


I have to remove the lift. buy a stock or different lift.. new tires and rims... just to get it signed off then reinstall .... Horse ****.


Im praying to the dear lord that someone here can sign it off for me...

 

More bad news.

In CA, the seller is responsible if the vehicle will not pass a smog test.

If you sell a vehicle to another, it doesn't pass, you have to pay to get it fixed.

The buyer isn't responsible, even if you sell it "as is, where is."

CA no longer issues waivers for smog parts that are no longer available new.

It's a felony if someone is caught "just signing it off."

 

You can pay the fine, but if you get pulled over for the same thing you risk getting impounded.

 

If I was in your situation, I think I'd just go to a 6" lift, get some 37's and keep it. You're going to have to do the fix anyway, and you'd be giving it away if you sold it after putting all that money into it. Maybe someone else has a "magic pill", but I don't know what it would be.

That's some lousy luck, Dude.

 

Kinda sounds like your only option would be to get it registered as an off road only vehicle, then you can pretty much have it any way you want, but don't quote me on that. I would say that you're lucky you haven't gotten tickets earlier, you got a sweet ride, but it definitely stciks out like a sore thumb.

 

I was hoping i could just pay the ticket, but from what ive gathered i can only fix it ? maybe thats a load of **** ? Its looking like im taking the lift off if i cant just pay the fine and sell it.

 

I don't think there's any way out of it other than getting it signed off or like Danny said, registering it as off-road only.

 

can anyone sign it off or is it in the offending county only ?

 

Any CHP in the state should be able to sign it off.

 

How high are the headlights out of spec? Could you get it in spec by putting smaller tires on and not messing with the lift? Just throwing an option out there that might save you from taking the lift off. You might be able to get the head light housings like they use on baja bugs and mount them below the bumper also. Good luck with this.

 

Bummer Griff, that suks

Send me the ticket I'll sign off on it.

 

If you were in MD, I would be able to sign it. Wish I could help you.

 

When I had my car that needed to constantly have stuff signed off I could go to Sheriff station and be charged $10 or have the CHP do it for free. But then again that was yrs ago.
