Thanks for the replies guys.
I don't have a title for the rig, neither did Dave (xj35) as far as I know. I just called the DMV and the lady had never heard of an registration for a non-street worthy rig.
So for tellico I just need to trailer it to the pay stations and I'll be fine? I guess I'll have to learn more about what Moab requires. It would be weird to me if you needed a street legal rig to run the trails there but sometimes when you leave the south east guys deal with strict rules like that.
