Okay I have a 5x8 carry on trailer that my boss gave me ( never reg in my name I have the title ), its bent and needs minor repair. I maybe doing a large tear drop so I would need to modify the frame, Its a mesh deck with rails. Including the tongue due to it being bolted on and not very steady right now. The interesting issue is the vin sticker is 100% faded, so no way to get it inspected with out the vin sticker. So I called carry on they will send out a new vin sticker to address on the title, no issue there as I talked to the boss and he is giving me a copy of his drivers license to send to them with a pic of the title.
So I will have a trailer that needs repair and modding with a new vin sticker in hand. I could completely rebuild the trailer, ie reuse the axle and nothing else and slap the sticker on the new tongue. I would need to fix ( read as weld it solid ) the tongue any way and fix a bent rail, and install a new tail light which I have already. Then get it inspected, then modify it.
Yes it is a dilemma of do I fix the trailer, slap the vin sticker on it. OR do I "fix" the trailer the slap the vin sticker on it.
what would you do
