You should be!! The entire safety inspection handbook can be viewed online at:

highwaypatrol.utah.gov/safetyinspection/safety-inspection-quick-downloads/. Then select passenger car and light truck manual under “downloads”. We are including a summary of the section of the manual pertaining to suspension alterations here, since that is where most people have trouble with the law. Forewarned is forearmed. Some local “buggy” type conversions go to elaborate lengths to remain legal yet trail ready.

These notes are for your information to help you determine if your vehicle qualifi es under Utah State Law. The Red Rock 4-Wheelers work with the local law enforcement agencies to try to accommodate as many out of state vehicles as possible, but in the fi nal analysis, the law is the law. Many of the encounters with the law turn out to be issues of how the vehicle was being operated, not whether it was legal or not.
