Seems like government overreach at first glance, but he did willingly break NJ law.
 
Without seeing more to the story, a person should be able to have private property on their own property, if something on the engine is not acceptable I cant see any reason the whole truck would need to be destroyed.

Often times news stories are no longer accurate as reporters want to tell their opinion while lacking a baseline knowledge of what they are reporting on and no longer report facts, so who knows what the real story is.

Here is a little more to the story.
https://www.autoevolution.com/news/new-jersey-dep-forces-diesel-truck-owner-to-destroy-it-over-deleted-emissions-equipment-198566.html
 

Just imagine if the NJ DEP official went to a NTPA truck pull and impounded all of the street stock and super stock trucks.
:shock:

My states have exemptions for competition vehicles, even the feds.
 
He had the option to bring it back into compliance. Did he throw the original parts away and now it is too expensive to buy those parts again, or is the engine too worn out/damaged to be economical to repair? I had seen this story earlier and though that the state was not forcing his to crush it, that he is choosing to crush it as a protest or publicity stunt.

..or all F!, Indy, and NASCAR :roll:
 
Anyone can make a lot of noise and smoke. Myself, I would be more impressed if a puller could run under 80 dBa with no visible smoke. Now-a-days factory stock tractors are probably the only tractors that could do that.

If those trucks are driven to the competition, NJ is well within its rights to do so.

However, this guy has already established that this truck is NOT a "competition vehicle." They're not going to let him change his story to take advantage of a loophole.
 

He tried to sell it as a street drive vehicle.
He ran it in a sled pull competition he says and decided to keep it only for competition purposes, he says.
He claims at one point DEP told him he could.
Quote: "told Sebold his truck must be returned to stock or taken off the road. But after he decided to turn in his plates and keep it for off-road use, Sebold claims they've forced him to make an appointment with the crusher."
 
I would either move and take it with me or accidently leave the keys in it and have it stolen and taken out of state by a friend or family member. Another option would be to take it to a scrap yard that does buybacks, sell it to the scrap yard for $100 and have someone buy it back for $150 and take it out of state. It all depends on legality or repercussions for violating NJ law. I certainly hope he moved to NJ with that truck, then at least he has being miss informed or uninformed to blame for his truck being crushed, versus being a native NJ resident and buying a vehicle that you knew could get you in trouble with the law.

0-4, if it were my situation, it would have already disappeared. But it wouldn't be my situation , because no NJ or Dodge for this guy!
 
That wouldn't make sense even in California. I think the most they would do is make them replace the emission equipment before it could be licensed.
 
In the 80's my partner in crime rebuilt the engine in a late 70's Pontiac fire bird it was one of those crappy 301 ci engines. It knocked off in Tennessee along the interstate it so happens a trooper noticed all the emissions had been removed. Emissions mostly being vacuum hoses. The Tropper made a big stink out of it I had to get it back to compliance and have it inspected.

What happen the fuel pump drive came off the front of the cam gear it was a costly mistake.

I brought a new 1985 Toyota truck it was carbureted. It would stall are go flat at times when pulling out on the street Toyota said the fix was on back order the dealer plugged the EGR valve. I gave them plenty of time to fix it I left it with them 3 mo's one time. So as they were going no where I called the EPA they showed up inspected the truck and went straight to the dealer. Like magic the next day the truck was fixed : )

This guy is not going to win. I have removed my share of emission equipment on my personal vehicles it went into a box on a shelf. It was mostly A.I.R. tubes etc.
 
(quoted from post at 18:43:28 09/16/22) Just title amd license it in a different state. Pdople do it all the time with trucks and trailers.

Many/most states have a law against that.

For example in NY, you've got 30 days to get your vehicle registered in NY if you live here.
