    Today I decided it was time to tilt the trailer and power wash the undercarriage. I got tired of all the dirt falling on my face every-time I crawled under it. A few pictures.

    I ordered some led bulbs for the tail lights. I was able to install them today . I am very pleased with results. 12 bucks well spent.

    Today I rehabbed an old tool box, and fit it to be placed on the front of trailer. I then returned the Original lights. I have ordered some new led bulbs so maybe this will help with the brightness. Can anyone tell me what the triangular brackets on the left and right side of the light bar are...

    Does anyone have some water cans and maybe a holder for them? I ask because I would like to support a fellow member rather than a retail establishment! Ripcord

    Thank you. No, the cover lying on the floor is vinyl. I was pretty much guessing on the height. After completing I did decide that I should have gone about 14" taller. Just to make it real comfy. As is sits , a person can sit in a chair without crouching. Ripcord

    The tarp is just a cheapo Walmart tarp. No big lost there. I was using for shade cover while working on the measurements and sides. I will sand the corners to round . My desire is to a have a shelter in there. I have found them for sale not far from me, but since vacation is coming up soon, I...

    Here are some recent pics. Nothing to exciting. Decided to make some home made sides. The sides are temp. I am looking at picking up something really cool for a topper. :mrgreen:

    I forgot to add the pictures from the light install. I did keep the 24 volt system on the trailer. I just disconnected the lights and placed them in a box for later use. My helper ( supervisor) is my youngest son Alex.

    I also have plans on taking off the support leg in the rear of the trailer. I am going to purchase another support leg in order to have on on each side of the trailer. More for the safety of the kids who for some strange reason enjoy playing in it. More to come.

    More recent. The spare wheel covers half the front for now. I am looking into changing the rims. Then I will do some tweaking. The tires are cracking and need to be replaced. I have some new rubber coating for the inside floor. Just need the humidity to drop so I can paint it.

    Today I discovered that there has to be a camo God and he is not a fan of mine today. I primed the exterior panels of the trailer using black rustoleum primer. I figured I would try my luck at a little camoflouge job.. I found out I do not have this skill.. Starting out using a black...

    I tried for two hours today to get the bed off and no success. The tar is like caked on1/4 of an inch thick on the under carriage of trailer. Well I know that the trailer is waterproof from the bottom up. I did drag it around for a trip and this thing pulls so nice. Hardly knew it was there...

    It is defiantly not CARC paint. The outside looks like it may be house paint the way that it is peeling. No texture in the paint. Thanks for help.

    I tried to rig a battering ram out of some old 2x4 stock but, the only thing I was able to do was add a dimple to the trailer. I am not a body man by any means so this should be fun..

    I have a dent on the drivers side, Can I push it back out ? The top lip is split. Would it need to be welded?
