FINALLY!

[hrcarver]

Got my new trailer. 20+2', 6k dexter axles, led's, winch mount, spring assist ramps, 10k jack. I should be able to haul my junk all around the place now!

One problem, where should I put the tags?

Awesome.

What size axles ?

My plates just under left signal.

 

[hrcarver]

6k, 9300 lb capacity.

under

Oops, my bad, over

hr,

Nice trailer.

I put my license plate vertically on the back of the fender. It might not be totally correct but I've never had a problem. I see a lot of them that way and it gets it out of harms way. If you added a license plate light in that location you'd never have a problem.

mine looks very simular... not enough space in the rear tail... tail lights dont stick out far enough for a full size plate...

so i went with what ive seen time and time again.... screwed vertically to the fender

By law, at least here in Indiana, they must be under the left tail light with it illuminated at night. If you look under your light there is probably a clear lens to let some of the running light illuminate it. You can get a rubber mount at any TSC or auto parts store that allows the plate swing out of the way if you bottom out.

What brand is it? Are those tor-flex axles?

Burke Trailers. One guy with a shop out of elon nc, been building trailer for 35 years. Burke Trailers (Elon, NC) - custom-built Utility Trailers

Dexter axles, they do kind of bow up when not loaded. Is that what you mean? I'm kind of new to trailers.

It might not be perfectly legal, but Dad and I both bolt our tags to the back side of the left-hand ramp. It's up out of the way there and well protected from damage. It's high enough to be at eye level at night, and car headlights illuminate it well. We've never had a problem...

Solved that too. Got a $2 bracket from agrisupply that bolts to the light and flexes if it drags or hits something. Works perfectly.
