Been busy as hell with work and other stuff.. so since I had some time and not on call I took care of some things that needed to be done and have put off.. Added some tie down points.. the square mounts for 2x4's were digging into the straps and wasn't the right angle for working effectively.. Tried to fix my bent jack by wrapping my winch line over the top of the rail and broke the damn line.. So I had to fix it with some 1/4" u bolts.. Tried to weld the battery tray rails to the tool box.. guess what. It's aluminum! So I drilled some holes and screwed it down instead..

How do you keep that battery charged ? It's tied into the truck through the 7 pin connector.. charges while driving.. I ran the winch today on just the trailer battery and it worked fine.

Good to know, I didn't think the wiring would be big enough to charge it. I have the battery, winch, angle iron and just need the will power to install it all on my trailer. I also want to do the spare mount someday that I told you about , just need to hit the JY and get the mounts.

those angled tie downs will be sweet. I used chains when using your trailer but that'll still help a lot.

I also want to do the spare mount someday that I told you about , just need to hit the JY and get the mounts. It's about an 8 gauge wire if I had to guess... plenty for charging.. Get your stuff together and bring it over.. we'll make a day of it and set you up! Better do it quick.. I think Gabe is wanting his welder back... even tho I asked him when he's gonna come get it..

I got new axles for the trailer today to replace the ones that got bent at Superlift. I wanted to get 5200lb. axles, but couldn't afford it right now.

I really need to show you how to braid a loop in the end of that cable. I am nervousness just looking at those little ubolts.
