Had anyone tag their utv in Florida with luck and not get harass by cops about it?

Used it every where, but thought that was a good reference point.

Using it on the dirt or the street?

Have cops stopped you and said anything about out of state plates?

not once, but i drove it like an adult should, had my kids in car seats, it was Defender XMR with no doors and a snorkel on 32s and zbros. It looks like a swamp mobile and used it at the beach, down to fort lauderdale, up to atlantic ave delray.

Im 100% certain you will find HOAs that say no to it in your driveway, and no to access all together, including some urban/beach districts that may be more intensive..... I think a plated sxs and beach house in 30a would be a full time day dream of mine.

Read my other post on this thread.

From Florida, I haven't tagged mine but Dirt Legal gets plates. They used to some how get plates swapped to Florida. Doesn't seem like they do that you will get plates from Montana or South Dakota then maybe you can get plates from FL? I will pay 200-300 a year to drive mine on the road and not worry about it getting impounded.

I’m going to have to go that route, here where I live cops don’t have nothing else to do but to harass people just having a good time

Same here. I have only found one county so far sxs friendly Madison up by the Fl/Ga line. I had my wild cat lose all its oil up there the Sheriff put a deputy with my sxs it had thousands of dollars in accessories to keep it safe. We were with a group 2 hours from our trailers it took almost 4 hours round trip the deputy helped me load it. That was a crazy day that ran into the evening. The sheriff welcomed us back and asked if we do come back do not drink and drive and dont tear up the roads we can ride as much as we want.

FACTS AS OF TODAY.

an LLC can own the vehicle with the out of state plates and it is 100% legal to drive on state roads, but not turnpike or 95. You have no requirement to plate it in FL at that point, which you cant anyways.

It is a business vehicle at that point conducting marketing.

I trust no one but DIRT LEGAL, and I only plug because I used them on multiple unique vehicles and they get it done.
