Nice catch Derek. I thought only the JL doors were aluminum. Didn’t know the whole body was.

Speaking of aluminum and steel. Steel for skid plates. Synthetic for winch cable.

The MA OHV reg. is a BSJ requirement if you plan on wheeling in MA. It passed 2 or 3 years ago.

I have the MA OHV registration for 2023-25. The question was about permanently affixing it to the side of the vehicle or traveling with it in the glove box (as I hear some of the members do). The magnet approach won't work for me since the JL body is aluminum. The Mass.gov OHV pamphlet says "assigned registration number shall be displayed on the vehicle and not obstructed." That makes sense on my ATV but I was wondering about the practicality of permanently on the Jeep. Do you have it on the sides of your Jeep?

I use magnets but it is my understanding you can have them and the reg. in your glove box. I am not sure if that is true but I thought I read that last year when I renewed mine.
