Hey guys, sometimes the contractors are actually nicer that the employees. They have to perform. Not always the case other way round. But in all cases your dealing with the Govmt so... This isn't a big deal. Fill out the form, pay the fee, do a simple task, and you're done. Sent from...

Law Enforcement Officer. Good acronym to know ;-) Buy the stamping tool at Harbor Freight, etc. Not 100% positive but a boat trailer may be different. You're "home built". It's really no biggie. Sent from my HP-41C during a flashback to 1978.

It doesn't have to a be a LEO - they can do the inspect at the DMV too. By comparison, pretty easy compared to some states... ;-)

I've almost always got the opposite problem and end up using a grinder to make the hitch fit at all. Chinese crap. I'd rather have a little play than the other way round. Sent from my HP-41C during a flashback to 1978.

Look on eTrailer - lots of fixes for this.

^^^ Hey Dustin! My tailgate story is part of a longer story at http://www.averdyne.com/jeep/trailer/trailer.htm Basically a long SS piano hinge, some simple lockable latches, some reinforcement around the edges, and truck tailgate cables with some fabbed mount points. Sent from my...

This isn't the final solution for my trailer (haven't gotten to that yet...) but needed something for a beach camping trip a couple years ago. This went in the bed of the truck and was reachable from the side. Note the unit "hangs" on the edge of the drum holder. Long cord with cig lighter...

Where's the LIKE button? :-)

Oh, I get it - I do the same thing! :-) Just later realize I could've done it cheaper and faster. But hey, I gotta do something with all these parts for projects long undone and forgotten! ;-)

For the money you'll end up wasting on parts that may or may not work, why not just buy the proper spout? http://www.amazon.com/NATO-Jerry-Fuel-Spout-Nozzle/dp/B009HJMY8Q You can find them cheaper on the 'net - just make sure to get one that has the tube to allow fuel to flow freely (see pic...

If you're referring to Airstream, there are many - and I mean MANY, resources available for SketchUp (https://www.sketchup.com/products/sketchup-make) such as: https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search.html?q=airstream&backendclass=entity&hl=en...

Nice! Love getting the Jeep and trailer on the sand at OBX.

That's great work! What size/model of tent? Been looking at those, but hadn't figured out which would fit best on the M416.

Only if you sell it to me, for $1. Free shipping. ;-) There is a 4Sale Forum as well, so likely should put it over there. So many forums...

You can use those "leaders" to wire into a box on the trailer http://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Spectro/38656.html then wire from the box to wherever/whatever you need to power - lights, but also aux, etc. That's my plan for my M416 at some point. Today, I used one of these to...

Very cool. I've thought about a TV under a flip-up lid, but like your idea too. What's the dish/antenna brand?

Another possibility is canvas awning companies - the boat people are $$$... ;-)

If I were to do it again, I'd figure out some way to not have the mounting points protruding into the tub - maybe inset them into the space between the tailgate and tub in some-way-I-never-figured-out-before... ;-)

See link in my trailer build thread. I'm just seeing that there are few key pics missing, so will try to fix that, but you'll get the idea. Basically, use a tailgate cable kit.

Love how it evolved over time to fit your needs - and you used it the entire time, not having to spend a lot of money to start enjoying it. Looks great and functional too!
