Man I feel for you guys. Sounds like 'the man' is against all things fun in a 4wd over the ditch. The cops over here are only interested if your car is lowered, they don't bat an eyelid when I roll past in my 35" tired, lift kitted, external rollcaged, 3" exhaust mufflerless mongrel. My 35's rub on the guards so I just cut all of the sharp bits off and let em rub. some might say I'm rough...
