88whitemanche Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Good progress man...wish I would make a trailer...I will one day.... By any chance where did you buy that roof rack?
redwolf624 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 that is a sweet idea for the jugs and ammo boxes, i might have a few ideas on how ya can mount/bracket those but i'll have to see it when we play wire the trailer wirin later this week, Redwolf
shipp_m Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 88whitemanche- i bought the rack at commi-mart (walmart) in the auto section and then i drilled holes and recycled the JEEP off of the MJ front. Thanks redwolf. excited to see what youve come up with. see you this weekend. Its coming along slowly but surely.
shipp_m Posted March 13, 2014 Author Posted March 13, 2014 Did a quick upgrade. sorry for the night pics. ill get some better ones tomorrow. after work.
shipp_m Posted March 13, 2014 Author Posted March 13, 2014 masking tape and black paint. pretty quick and really easy. cleaned em up real nice then sprayed with a few coats.
Spectormj Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Looks good I'm going to be smokeing my taillights tonight
shipp_m Posted March 14, 2014 Author Posted March 14, 2014 redwolf came over to help see if the wiring on the trailer was good.... the plug and play i made for the truck worked great!! and the wiring for the trailer was ok.... turns out i have a few bad bulbs on the right side. will try again once new ones are on hand. as for the reason why i had only reverse lights last time is because the 7pin to 6 pin connector from my dodge to the trailer needs wires to be moved around. good news though!!! ;) Also we swapped out the white bed for the red bed. i think its in better shape. just need some welding and a few things put back in place. thanks for the help Redwolf! :cheers:

Spectormj Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 I have a can of light tint that i got at autozone
shipp_m Posted March 20, 2014 Author Posted March 20, 2014 sorry for the lack of pics and updates. i seam to have mis placed my battery charger for my camera. i got new bulbs just need to reinstall wiring and tail lights on the trailer. should start to cut the rust out here soon.
shipp_m Posted March 26, 2014 Author Posted March 26, 2014 sorry for the slow progress. been crazy with work and just found a new charger for the camera. (gotta mess with the settings so the pics will stop being blurry) i did find a set of amc logo JEEP mud flaps from the local yard for ten bucks. just need brackets made up.
shipp_m Posted March 28, 2014 Author Posted March 28, 2014 found these for ten bucks at the local yard. figured id match the other set i had for the truck.
shipp_m Posted March 29, 2014 Author Posted March 29, 2014 same trailer different bed.... i do have a spare frame and bed and axle. just not togather. and the frame needs to be welded to a trailer. so i could have two. or someone else could have one too.
shipp_m Posted March 29, 2014 Author Posted March 29, 2014 here is what i found for the fuel/water jug mounts. sorry pics blurry.
shipp_m Posted April 5, 2014 Author Posted April 5, 2014 did a complete tear apart of the suspension and swapped out the axle in hopes of fixing the the axle so far forward. ended up putting the spring packs on backwards and redoing it lol. pain in my rear!! when the sun comes up ill see if it did anything different by moving the bolts to a different spot. time will tell. ill get picks up tomorrow afternoon.
shipp_m Posted April 5, 2014 Author Posted April 5, 2014 Earning its keep! 1 yard of compost soil. and it also brought the mower in for a tune up earlier this morning
