So my tahoe failed inspection. problems are / were as follows:
1) tires stick out part the fender flares
2) head lights are blocked by gaurd
3) Windshield has a tint stip at the top that is .5" too low
I told him I have the stock wheels wrapped in 245s I'll bring in and teh headlight bars are removable....wasn't good enough since it is like it is now. I could put the tires and uncover the lights, but I am not dicing up my tint for .5" or so.
It passed emmisions though and got that sticker.
So lesson learned about the chain places, it was the first and last time I try one (CJ tire). Typically they hook me up at this store too with free tire patches and stuff. Oh well, $40 down the tubes.
On a positive note, the guy I use for welding and custom chassis work does inspection. I called and explained my problem. He will take care of it on Monday. I'll throw the wheels and tires in the back and head over to him. good mechanics are hard to find. These guys earn my work, do damn good work there and worth every penny! Plus he'll only inspect for guys he knows.
