Dang, that would be nice. If it touches the ground, it has to have a plate...except for bicycles.
around here...if its something you drive...if it has a vin, headlights and tail lights your pretty much good theyll give you a plate

if you buy a vehicle out of state you have to get an inspection, which consists of them looking at the title and the vin and see if they match, they dont look at anything else

but yea trailers and all that mopeds blah blah blah no need for a plate

my camper has had an indiana plate on it since i got it, titles not in my name :dunno:

so this next hadrail i'm building mostly out of old square headed bolts and nuts from an old building tear down. Guess they have sentimental value to this feller... the rail is for his beach house! i got to drive over and pre-fit my frames last week, it's pretty sweet! got a start on the design today. gonna have waves and different stuff in it. Just had a little time today, got the sun done. The bottom half of the rail is 1" dia perforated steel sheeting cut to fit.

I just finished this air powered elbow engine up for a class, everything made from aluminum, brass and steel stock and machined using a mill and a lathe to .001". The best part is now that I am trained on the machines I can use them for my own projects....i was kind of thinking high steer arms.

I got tired of the tailgate net I had on my Ranger, so I came up with this:




I also got my tube/half doors painted and back on for the summer:



Hoping to start on a front winch bumper here before too long.

Now, that is some great work. The paint came out really nice. I really like the tube door, that looks safe. That tailgate is really trick!!! A++++++

Finally (almost) got the trailer done!







Got these welded in all 4 corners for multiple rachet strap locations.



New taillight brackets.


All the rails and the tailgate are removeable for different situations. I made it to handle many different types of loads. :icon_thumby::icon_welder:

I recently finished this hitch, under-ride guard on my skoolie.




Also cut a hole through the front bumper and welded a receiver through it for a bike rack.
