    Redeth's Overland Trailer Build

    i would only be 4 wires you would need to tap into i think. just the brown, yellow, green and white. You could actually just tap into the wires that lead into the tail lights and just ground a white wire to the chassis. That one sounds pretty easy to do. I would just go to a junk yard and pull a...
