    Rear fenders

    What are the laws here to rear fenders & tire size? Or fenders period? In California you have to have 1/2 the tire covered by a rear fender or have mudflaps.

    I just cut the rear opening wheel well larger & removed the rubber fender last night is this street legal? I'm running 35's
    Can I do a comp cut in the rear on 35's & not get a ticket

    Rear fenders

    I've done some research for another member on here, and there is no law saying that you have to have fenders on the vehicle. We also have no lift laws, as long as your head lights are within a certain height range you can basically do whatever you want. Now having said that, that was last year. I would double check again to make sure it's still the same.

    As far as I know, there IS a tire coverage law, but it's not enforced.. I've been running for the past couple years with no fender flares (just re-installed them a couple weeks ago) and I never had anyone say anything. I've seen tons of Jeeps with tube fenders, etc, running around. I've also seen pickup trucks with no bed on them, and no kind of flaps or anything..

    Rear fenders

    I looked at several different sources and could find nothing regarding fenders or tire coverage.

    Maybe it went away.. I think I looked it up a long time ago, and it was something like the tires couldn't protrude more than 3" farther than the fender/flare... but I've never heard of anyone having any issues, just make sure you have all your marker/signal lights, and you are good to go..

    BTW that other site posted has a lot of flaws.

    Texas laws are not as strict as California I wouldn't make that much of a big deal out of it


    The only way a jeep can keep up with me is when I'm pulling my trailer down the road
