JEEP CHEROKEE TRAILER BUILD

[Hooligans805]

Hey guys I am new here. Just thought that I would post some pics of my build and see what you guys think. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated. thanks

Your driveway looks like a speed channel version of Lets make a Deal. Do you want the trailer, the Mustang or what's under the curtain!

Thats a good idea ratled! I would love to watch that show.

Almost done! going to get it registered this tuesday and then the next thing to do will be figuring out how to put in an electrical system in the trailer to run the led lights.

Turned out nice!

I used Blue Sea fuse block, bus bar, and the switch panel. For now I'm using a small battery since i'm just running some LED's and a water pump. eventually i'll use a full size red top or something fancy. I mounted the main cutoff switch/breaker, bus bar and fuse block on a piece of plywood then bolted that to the inside of the trailer.

Awesome thanks for the input! Any pictures of the setup?

theres also a Heretic Studio 10" led light bar mounted under the back of the trailer but I don't have any pics of it. It's on its own switch plus it's tapped into the reverse lights wire on the 7pin plug. So a whopping 3 switches on my blue sea setup lol. I buy my wire on Amazon, it's a silicon coated wire so its super flexible and easy to work with. LED stuff pulls zero power but i'm still running 16 or 18 gauge wire for the LED stuff. For the pump, trailer brakes, etc, i picked up heavier wire at NAPA, and paid dearly lol. But I didn't need 40' of 10Gauge wire. lol

That’s exactly what I would like to do. Did you use a bus because the fuse box doesn’t have one built in? I noticed some blue sea fuse blocks have a bus in it. Would you recommend it or do it separate like yours? This is the one I found

honestly i did it separate cause I don't know any better lol. I've done plenty of aux lighting with relays but this was my first time with a dedicated fuse panel. you don't need a bus bar, could ground everything right at the light on the frame. But this way i never have to look for my poorly done grounds, they're all in one spot lol

Good point. Got a blue sea fuse block on the way. Thanks so much
