Spaced out fender
Much ado about nothing. I spaced the fenders out by just adding some angle
iron and bolting them on. Did this so that if I crunch one, I can buy another and bolt it on with little or no fab. They're pretty stiff. http://www.flickr.com/photos/deserttraveler/ Wired the lights up and everything. Took it to DMV, and the ONLY thing they looked at was the VIN. Said I didn't need to title if I didn't want to, and didn't need a plate since the trailer portion was under 700#. The plate reads 2250GVWR, but they're the experts. I am having it titled to make it easier to track if it gets away from me. Turned down the plates, though, as they said that would only be a problem if I took it to another state. Ain't gonna happen. Now, to get it all painted. Rain forecast for a couple of days. Rats. Tach/hour meter should be here tomorrow from Northern Tools.
