I'm buying a 94 disco, and it doesn't have any sticker or plate on the drivers door. Is this thing necessary for registering the thing in NJ, or for some other purpose? There is a VIN number plate bolted to the top of the dash with torx bolts, and it matches the title. I just wanted to check if this is 100% legal.

Thanks

Dean

Hey Dean, I am 99.99% sure you can go to the dealership and get a new sticker ordered. Call your DMV up in NJ, they will know for sure. Hope you got a good deal....Dave

Could be a replacement door, then they would have removed the sticker.

I don't know for a fact, but it would make sense to me that the VIN plate that is bolted by the windshield is the one they look at, not one that is easily removed like a sticker

Dean the VIN is stamped into the frame near the front axle. I owwned a '94 with no door sticker or vin tab on the front windsheild. In FLA it was OK to use the VIN off the frame.

Dean, that means it's either a new door or the door was repainted. You should be fine in NJ... they will require a VIN rubbing (I think) if it's coming from out of state, which is done by the one on the dash.
