Thank you. I'll be taking my 1000-5 to eastern Tennessee and was told that in order to use it on county roads, I need DOT approved tires and a DOT approved windshield. What is strange is that when I pull up the TN Gov site, it does not mention that I need a "DOT approved tires and windshield" and it simply shows that I need turn signals, headlights and tail lights, mirrors, and a windshield.I've got an Armor Tech. Roof and windshield.
I believe that’s true. Some municipalities require a horn. DOT Tensor Regulators won’t hurt and are great trail tires.it simply shows that I need turn signals, headlights and tail lights, mirrors, and a windshield.
Thanks...yes, a horn is required as well.I believe that’s true. Some municipalities require a horn. DOT Tensor Regulators won’t hurt and are great trail tires.
Thanks for the additional info! Yes, if not windshield then must wear goggles. Mine has a spring windshield so I think that I will be ok. I'll check out the turn signal kit.Turn signals? XTC makes a plug and play kit work 180 degree led turn signals, self cancelling, and emergency flashers, horn and button.
Do you need water bottle and wiper for windshield?
Some places no windshield, but eye protection

Blount County. Eastern TN. We see UTVs on the roads all over around Cades Cove, Townsend (that's where our place is) and Gatlinburg. Not sure where I heard that I need DOT approved tires and windshield. I have a split plastic windshield so I may be ok. I know that I need a horn, turn signals, head and tail lights and mirrors but that is not a problem.What part of east Tennessee? Different counties/cities have their own rules. The counties that I live and work in do not require helmets and I've never heard of them checking tires or windshields. But up around RRB and Windrock helmets are required. Many people around here dont even have a windshield. I have turn signals, but most here just use arm signals.

Gotcha, I work in Gatlinburg but live in Cocke County. Yeah, the SxS rental places are popping up everywhere it seems. I know of 4 within a mile of our shop in Gatlinburg. I need to take mine up and do the Cades Cove loop pretty soon. Hadn't been in a couple years.
Cool. Do you think that I will be ok without DOT approved tires & windshield? I have a windshield, but not a DOT approved one. We will only be using the UTC in Townsend and up near Cades Cove.Gotcha, I work in Gatlinburg but live in Cocke County. Yeah, the SxS rental places are popping up everywhere it seems.
