Thanks. Ready to start build this week!

Don't even know this is behind my truck!

Just made it home. Long day started at 4AM. Looks good and towed spectacular. Now the fun part. Cutting holes in a brand new trailer.

Also, I was very pleased to see the 5,200lbs GVWR and that I have 3,350lbs (per factory sticker) for conversion and any payload. I am thinking I won't even come close... so plenty of margin. I believe upgrading the axle to 5,200lbs with electric brakes , additional floor joists, and triple tube tongue is the #1 best upgrade I could have done. Not really much more at time of build.

Now I will not be constrained by weight, although I do not plan to build heavy. Quick math says the trailer is 1,850 lbs as built.

It is on the factory sticker and the MSO, so legit!

All, I am going to start a new build thread on this since this became more of a blog as I was waiting for the cargo trailer. I will circle back and link this to it.


Here is the link...
