    I make my raceways using cheap washers with anti chafe grommets inserted.

    I weld the washers to the frame and pop in the grommets.

    Quick and cheap.

    I used one of these on my small trailer when I redid it a couple years ago, it's a game changer for sure.

    Been using these LED lights for awhile now.

    I like the backup light incorporated with brake and running light. They very bright. The reverse lights really shine when backing up a trailer in the dark...no pun intended lol.

    This trailer is going to haul a SxS off road vehicle. I'm sure there will be times when he gets to the campsite after dark and these will help.

    Decided to deck the thing and get it done. We already had the a/c on, so took advantage of working in the cool.

    you've got me re-thinking the setup i just did to my trailer. indiana isn't much better for weather...

    i just finished cutting and bending conduit along the perimeter of the frame to contain all the wire and protect it from damage. maybe i should just weld some tabs to hold the wiring inside the c-channel where it needs to be and call it a day...

    there's also a few 10-pole versions as well. i use them at work on most truck builds. makes breaking out stop/tail/turn, and adding strobes and additional lighting circuits far easier.
