So I found these LEDs and thought they would look good on the side of the trailer. We really didn't have to do much, the holes were already there from the old tail light wiring.

Here's the trailer with the fenders on it.
Here it is after a test drive in some mud.
We only have a few things left to do on it, build a lid for the top that will be removable and move the tongue box forward and make a basket to hold water cans.

Last weekend I went to my brother's house and we built the top for the trailer.
So the trailer is out of square, we knew that it was but it is out of square in two ways. Here's a test fit on the trailer.
My brother and his father in law checking it out.

The top fit good now it was time to finish it off. Cutting, welding and grinding.
As I had said it was not square so this was the result of that, one side was about an inch to two inches short. The metal was already cut, no problem though we just had a little more welding, cutting and grinding.

Now you can not even tell that the top was more than one piece.
Here's the inside, we welded some hooks on the inside to be able to hook things to the inside.

I like those counter chairs as a work table.
How did you explain the weld burns on the wood?
The lid looks good!

The chairs are garage chairs where beer drinking goes on so the burns make a good conversation starters. LOL:beer:

Nice! I guess if buddies are sitting around, it gives them no excuse to lend a hand?

Here's a test fit of the top.
The top still has to be painted and the roof rack installed.
