Just curious if anyone has any information on the wiring for the Grote 81834 Lights? I want to adapt these lights to my M416 trailer and other than the grounding wire I am not sure of what to hook up to which wire. Thanks for the help, Hoss

Spent 14 hours at TechShop today. Got the frame for the new top all welded up. After a little bit of grinding to cover up some of my crappy welds I'll be tackling the skinning of the lid.

I did a little research and ordered a 3500lb axle with electric AND parking brakes from Dexter Axle. Should be here next week in time for the frame and tub to come back from the painter. Plan to do a build thread and will post the details on the axle order over there.

Trailer disassembly complete. Dropped the frame and tub off at the Sand Blaster today. Should have it back next week blasted, primed, and painted to match.

Just picked up my m-416 (Thanks TexasTJ) and love it. Hardly noticed the trailer was there on the drive home. It is a shame that I am going to mod and chop up such a nicely restored trailer. The extended lunette allows me to open the tire swing without disconnecting the trailer. First up -...

SOLD!!!

Nice Trailer. What is the title situation for a trailer like this in Texas? Hoss
