My trailer in Oregon didn't need any plates on it but might be more inviting for thieves. Now my trailer has a perm plate on it that cost about $30 in Ca.

Wisconsin does not require plate or registration for trailers with a load capacity under 3,000 lbs. Makes having the utility trailer worth keepin' around.

lol thanks guys i'm pretty happy with it!

the deck is wood, it is now 1 1/2" ply wood compared to the old rotted 1/4" plywood that was on there.

it has a plate, i need to install it still. the laws have changed since thise trailer was last registered in 1992 so i'm not 100% sure on if it needs to be registered or not. but thats no biggie just go spend a few mins at the dmv.


and its the stock trailer springs on there
