AStinkyBumb's Build Thread, Now with trailer build bonus content

Haven't done an update in a while. 6112's have been awesome they have held their height much better with the stiffer springs than the 5100s. Probably done with truck mods for a while as I am chasing a clunk from the front end when I go over small bumps when turning. think something might be a little lose and need to track it down.

Trailer update, been making some small progress when I can. Wired up some reverse lights under the trailer to give some better lighting when backing up. They are mounted to where I had added tabs and planned to put the water tank under the trailer. we will see if the wiring and the lights stay tucked up enough that I don't destroy them. They are almost over the axle so I think they should be fine unless I drag it over a gigantic rock or log.

Drawers, platform, and water system is all built and wired up. just need to stain and seal the wood and maybe add a few tie down locations for light duty straps to keep stuff from sliding around. Drawer faces didn't turn out how I wanted them to because I didn't have enough wood to make them full face to cover the gaps but at this point i've got other things I need to work on so I need to wrap this up.

 

How much does the trailer weigh?

 

I don't fully know I haven't ever weighed it officially. titling it didn't require an official weight just the max carry weight and I have a 3500lb axle/spring kit under it so I told them 3500lbs. I have been meaning to take it to a local truck stop and pull onto the scales to see what it weighs but now it will be loaded dry weight since I have everything stocked in it. Its balanced well so I can move it around by hand but its got some heft to it being all steel.
