    Truck-Lite 3/4” LED Marker lights. Smallest DOT approved light available. Much brighter in person and especially at night. Not military, but a whole lot easier install than the Military marker lights.

    What about installing clearance and marker lights and reflective tape? Would help visibility a lot and look so much better than lights installed upside down.

    I used a can of expanding spray foam to fill the void. Trimmed flush with housing after drying and then a black silicone coating on foam surface to keep out moisture. Worked perfect and looks Factory. Your LEDs are sealed from behind so no issues. No more wasps. Yellow Jackets aren’t even...

    Dexter Axle makes complete backing plate brake kits for the hydraulic brakes. With or without parking brake. Not bad prices. They also make one that's called "free backing". You can backup a loaded trailer and not have the hydraulic brakes apply. On the regular hydraulic brakes you have to...

    That setup will get you a ticket in all states when it's noticed. And that trailer will draw attention. As mentioned, the chains need to be mounted to frame, etc for it to be legal. That's Federal DOT standard. Edit: Just read your above post. Glad to hear you will be doing chains properly...
