    I cut my factory harness so long ago I cant remember. I had cheap Amazon lights at first then switched to caliraised. They died quickly so now I have BDs and they have been amazing. I did use the plug that came with the BDs and plan on sticking with those for the warranty should I ever need it.

    Lemme see if I have any close ups.....

    Yeah but if the trailer tows wonky thet would allow me to level it. I think I'm good though. Last time we took it out it towed fine and I have mounted taller tires on it since then. Of course this also allows an option for bigger truck tires

    I did have to cut the lock in roll to fit into the reese drop. It hasn't failed yet. I did have a major fail earlier in the year at Uwharrie but got that beefed up pretty good !

    I want to see what you did there. I still think you should triangulate it as well.

    You ain't kidding. I need to research a simple solution. Too many points of failure in this for my liking. Honestly I really want a light weight RTT or hardshell and just sell the trailer. On the other hand i have been wanting to drastically reduce the overall weight of the truck. In the end i think i need to build a overlandy full size truck with the capability to tow my current truck and go full trail rig with the taco. I look at the next stages for the taco and the massive investment required and realize that I could buy a brand new side by side that's more capable:annoyed::spending:

    I got to meet the owner of URD yesterday. Pretty cool guy and rescues dogs! Also saw a SaSed V8 swapped T4R that was pretty sweet!! The blue 3rd gen is literally right off the lot. It's amazing how capable these are with 0 mods. He did bent his skid and ripped the front plate up a bit. [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Did you get the aluminum or steel, abed rack? I have no need to mount anything heavy on top like an rtt so I am thinking aluminum. Would work. Basically just a place to mount traction boards and fishing rod holders and miscellaneous stuff /c
