Warning:
I took my Jeep down to Nevada DMV to get it registered, and first you get a VIN check. My dataplate is really old, and some of the first numbers 57548 can't be seen, but the real serial 16509 can. First part just means it's a CJ5, and the last was the production number.
He said that he would need to see the number on the frame, and when I told him I had changed the frame it was over. He told me I had an assembled vehicle, and it would have to go through a safety inspection, and be registered as an assembled vehicle. Plus that I had changed the engine.
This sent me into a tizzy of slight depression thinking I would have to engineer a parking brake, and so on.
I've decided to get a restored data plate and take it back to another DMV office. I just thought I'd post this up for others here on the board who have changed frames, but their Jeeps are still stock wheelbase, as well as stock in appearance. I really think this guy enjoyed jacking me up. I didn't argue with him, but we'll see who gets the last laugh.
