I spliced two safety chains together using an add-a-link... he wants me to use one bigger then the chain itself.

Front markers need to be reflective lights, not reflective tape. These came with the kit, I just didn't want to use them. No biggie.

Tires need mudflaps. Crazy carpet it is! ;D

License plate light... I knew this, and planned to add one later. I guess I'll add it now. LOL

is your "add a link" welded to the trailer? If not i would advise getting a second one and actually connect to the safety loops on the trailer, because if anything fails in your chain, whether its a hook or like your kinda facked.... thats the point of having two safety chains, the reassurance and a back up if one fails
just my thoughts...

Passed MVI!!! ;D ;D ;D

In one trip I got someone taking cell phone pics, thumbs up from someone on the road, and a trucker tooting his air horns. 8-)

It sure gets alot of attention.

She's not done, but may be put aside for a bit while I get everything else ready for winter.

Well, I should be getting ready for Jam... but I get distracted easy. Made the trailer's 1st offroad and 1st dump today!

[image]

[image]

[image]

[image]

1 load of gravel in (I only put 2/3 of a load seeing as how it was the 1st time and all. I'm confident that it and the Jeep can handle a full one next time.)
[image]

1 load of firewood out
[image]

Dang, didn't go very far!

On the way out
[image]

[image]

Overall I'm pretty happy with it. She tracked better then I thought it would. It helps that it's narrower then the jeep... and there are a couple times where I had to back up for the Jeep to make a turn and it made no difference to the trailer.

LOL The trailer's fenders are going to be made to come off with 3 wing nuts each. Last time through this trail the yellow mudflaps ripped off the Jeep, so I decided to snip them off at the house rather then lug them back. ;)

I've always wanted to have a real tailgate on this thing... the previous owner just cut the tub (not even straight at that) and welded on some door hinges. This resulted in the sides being un-supported, and flopping around. I was just using a ratchet strap to keep things in place.

Here's what it looked like

Seemed pretty rough, and considered starting from scratch... but decided to work with what I have

While I was at it I cut out some rust

Rust gone and rear section ready for rebuild
