    Been out of town and dealing with some personal issues.

    Only got some remedial shit done. Trailer lights, 7 pin, junction box, and breakaway are wired up.

    I had some leftover 2" stock left so I half way took Colin's suggestion. I sleeved the rear hitch a little bit and ran it to the first crossmember. The hitch is probably stronger than the hitch on my damn truck now. Recover whatever the hell I want now.

    null_zpsca1b2700_17b003c8b890aabf669e0e9f948fa98e6b30d6d6.jpg

    Also mounted a NOCO 2 bank marine battery charger inside the toolbox. It's completely waterproof and can charge two batteries independently of each other, each at 10 amps. I didn't plan on getting the 2 bank, but for whatever reason it was cheaper than the single and gives me a little more flexibility with my plans for batteries. I think Amazon effed up because right after I ordered it the price doubled.

    null_zps86f0d062_4fab66c5115b8b93513431ae92c30840dd7c1c51.jpg

    I paired the charger with a NOCO shore plug that I mounted to the outside of the toolbox so I don't even need to unlock/open the toolbox to charge the batteries at home (or anywhere with 120v).
    Also mounted beside the shore plug is a USB charging port. I've got a similar standard 12v socket on order that I'll be mounting next to that as well.

    Ahh yeah that too. You can see it hanging out in the first picture.
    I got the bearings packed, backing plates and drums all assembled, spring perches welded, and plumbed the wires for the electric brakes.

    Nice. :popcorn:

    I feel like this is a big trailer for offroading..or is it's just a camp base station while you hit the whoops in the truck?

    4x6 box with overall length of 126"

    It's basically the same size as most of the production trailers out there, hell smaller than some including the AT Chaser. Most of the trailers out there are 10 feet long. I added 6" to tongue to help with clearance and better match the trailer wheelbase to that of the truck. So if mine is a big trailer for offroading, so are all the other ones on the market. :notsure:

    Oh..haha maybe it's just the huge frame or something. Just seems big to me at the moment.

    Still awesome though.
