Time's running out!! Was too crappy to go out Saturday and had the kids all day doing family stuff most of the day Sunday so no testing for me. Hope to have the trailer inspected Monday so "may" try and get out some evening this week. Camping next weekend so no testing then either... May have to test on the trail! ;D

Since I have to have lights I added some rock lights as well... This is not the finished location of the head lights. Andy donated these and I mounted them quickly just to have lights for the run. I'll figure out a final location later. You can see the rock lights under the floor in this pic as well. Could not find the second tail light in the pile of crap in the garage so I used only one. Have some things to tidy up (like finishing the exhaust) and if time permits I will add some rear rock lights as well.

hey rico,the lights look good.have you got a brake light hooked up? Not yet. I was looking for a brake light switch but a buddy just gave me another idea. I took the light switch from an old fridge, the one that when depressed the light is off and when released the lilght is on, and am going to gear up a small bracket so when the brake pedal is released it pushes in the plunger on the switch and when you press the pedal it releases it. I'll take a picture later.

Scooby Doo approved fridge light switch... ;D Small bracket to hold the switch... And finally the mount tacked in place. Worked flawlessly! I'll finish welding once it is in final position.

Got around to fixing the buggy and decided to add a suck down winch just for giggles. Got a nylon wheel from a buddy. I think it came off a boat trailer or something. Made up some brackets and started welding. Once I make a new mount for the ram on the axle I will move the anchor point to the axle.

Good Job Rico. The set-up works great. i assume you will be gentle on the set up until you get it mounted to the axle.
Can wait to see how it works on the curse next weekend.
