Upgrading my trailer!

Decided to hook up a 7 pin on my trailer so I can run light bars, charge a 12 volt battery, run an inverter, so on so forth. Probably a winch. Anyway the videos will explain everything.

On another note, I need someone to take these rims Jason gave me off of my hands. I can bring them to a get together.

No. that makes me want to lean to one side until I tip over.

Your particular example makes me not want to see nipple clip tassles any more though.

Those are 2 3/8" axle tubes which would make them 3500 lb axles so your GVWR would be 7000 lbs.

Lived in Mobile for like 35 years, but closest I get is Auburn nowadays. That would still put almost 4 hours between us, but I could take the rims to Jason.

Maybe we'll get out of this family medical problem soon and be able to go RVing close enough I could get them from you then.

I appreciate it but, Jason does not want these rims. He gave them to me and I painted them but then I got new rims so I'm trying to give them away to a forum/gtg member. Jason told me I was welcome to sell them or whatever but since he gave them to me, I feel like I should give them back to the forums. That's all, I may have somebody that wants them but I'm not 100% yet. Thank you for the offer!

If that arrangement doesn't work out Tristan, you could list them in the "Free Parts" thread linked below.

I have been accumulating a few things to list there myself since I have been cleaning up and organizing the garage.

Link: FREE PARTS! (NOT A "FOR SALE" thread)

I got my battery tray built today! My dad helped me out with it as it is hard to lay on the ground and hold up my metal sheet and mark it and everything thing else so he ended up helping a bunch. I bought a battery box for it as well. Now I just have to get a which and light bars put on! I already have battery charging ready to hook up as well. Just have to get a battery and some terminals! The mesh is bolted on with I believe 3/8 bolts. Might be 5/16 but I believe they are 3/8. Big 3/4 inch or so maybe bigger washers on the inside. A total of 8 bolts, 4 on each side holding this cradle in place.


It not perfect but its pretty close! I'm gonna fill in the corners somehow. Not sure yet.


Boxed in on the front and back. Don't have to worry about tools flying out!
