My dumbass should have gotten my safety inspection earlier this month before I switched to yellow lights on top. Apparently now in Virginia you can have auxiliary lights on the vehicle and pass inspection as long as the lens, reflectors, and lights are clear. So my grille lightbar is fine, but since my new lights up top are yellow I have to wait till my covers get here. The code now specifically disallows tape, foil, etc for temporary covers, so that won't work.

Technically the LED bulbs in the headlight housing will fail too, but I'm hoping those go by unnoticed. I'd rather try it and pay the $1 to bring it back for reinspection than to go through all the trouble needlessly up front.
I don't miss that inspection. At all.

Anyone ever buy a vehicle from far away? Got my eye on an X but it's like 6 hrs away. Do you think a 3rd party inspection would be worth it or do I just need to suck it up and go look at it? Kind of tough to get away right now. This one has what I'm looking for and price is right.
I bought mine from CT when I lived in Virginia. Had to fly up and drive it back.

If I was in that situation I'd contact https://lemonsquad.com/ and see what they inspect for and what it would cost. Sure beats 12 hours of your time and gas or plane ticket.
Saw that company. Probably better than nothing. When I read their agreement it says you cannot contact the inspector directly. Probably worth a call to them.

Did you buy it before you saw it in person?

Went on a bender last night drank ¾ of a bottle of whiskey and telling war stories of my childhood to my kids. I think my liver said ufck if and shut down I haven't thrown up since about 3am or peed since I don't know when (I might still be a little drunk). Ended up sleeping sitting up all night and someone shut off the TV.

May I recommend small sips of water or diluted Gatorade (1 bottle of gator aid to 3 bottles of water the same size) to help with the feeling of hangover

You still have a liver?

I gave them a $500 deposit to hold it pending an in person inspection when I got there. Ended up negotiating another grand off the truck when I saw it. But was fully ready to Uber back to the airport and go home.

Poll question: should Santa order me some ditch light brackets? Debating. I really want to do more nighttime offroading.
