I need to get plates for my new to me crawler and though for 1/2 a second to get ham plates....

What say you IHSTO?

Too nerdy? Bad look? Etc?
 
I’ve always been a little skeptical of them because with a quick google search they can find your address from your call sign. Never know who you’re going to piss off out there for legitimate reasons or not.


I agree with terry, more info on the wheeler!
 
My new ride doesn't really fit around here.....

1986 4runner - 22re turbo, 5 speed, 2 dual cases, sas with leaf springs, 39.5 iroks... Blah, blah, blah. It is the toyota version of my ugly Scout....

That is what I thought as well -- especially on an ugly wheeler. It doesn't really represent the ham community very well either.

Call me paranoid, but I agree. :(
 
If it makes u smile do it! It's worth it if every time you see it you smile and say "yep, that's my baby." (and make sure your property is insured ;) ) lol

I think you guys worry too much, I'll bet 95% of people have no idea what a
ke7xyz license plate is, or where to look it up. I know some real nerds that have had plates for years without issue.
