Just another pic outside, I still have to mount the kayak mounts and fabricate the cross rails.

In the photo below I am testing my lighting, I am 80'' wide and haven't installed clearance lights yet. We do not travel at night, but looking at the led marker lights they reflect nicely on the diamond plate fender. I believe they would be my clearance lights and would not need to install any lol. Ok tell me what you think about.

Thanks kuhndog, If it weren't for being laid off, I know I wouldn't be done for sure. It's a good feeling being at this stage, now unwind and have a cold one now. :beer:

Ok today I cheaped out and bought a tote for the tongue box, I needed something for this weekends getaway. I do plan on building a custom tongue box for my gear after I take a break from the build....

I decided that I will re-use my stabilizer jacks off my other trailer, so I need to make some mounts for them. I will work on them next week.

Ok decided to apply the graphics on the front, rainy day out so the garage was toasty warm. It went well but tedious still. I am waiting on more graphics for the back.

Ok just returned from the maiden trip with the trailer. I must say it was sweet with no problems, everything worked. It was a perfect weekend weather wise and wildlife and a big fire to boot.
