    looked up the VIN on my Jeep.. comes up as a CJ-5... title has the model listed as a "Jeepster"..

    I'm thinking a mistake.. since a Jeepster looks nothing like a Cj-5..lol..

    there's a lot of "discrepancies" over the years on these old Jeeps. The DMV insisted that I was missing #'s on my vin when I was regeistering.:rofl:

    My Jeepster is insured as a CJ5, guess Jeepster wasn't in the listing.

    Funny that my Dodge Dakota Quad-Cab pickup "had to be" titled as a 3/4-ton because the GVW was over 6000 lbs, and that made my plates $81 per year. My 3/4-ton Chevy Suburban has a GVW of 8800 lbs, but yet it's considered to be a "station wagon" and thus my plates are only $36 per year. Go figger. :rofl:

    It always seems to be a crap shoot with the DMV...

    My Green CJ is listed as Grey on the title. I asked the nice lady at DMV if she thought the State would like to have it correct and she responded that she could change if for a fee. I said thanks but no thanks.
