I ran the El Camino Del Diablo with Joe and his trailer. Cool trailer and even cooler dude! It's well built and looks even better now that he camo'ed the whole thing.

How's the Cabela's AGR battery you ask?
I have to say it's perfect. I have really sucked the juice out it on several occasions prior to purchasing an Engel refrigerator. I once used an Igoo cooler that drew 7.1 amps. It didn't take long to pull most of all of batteries reserve. To my amazement and relief, the Cabela's battery did everything they advertise....one tuff battery.
Secondly, it doesn't seem to mind bouncing down the road in it's battery box on the tongue of my trailer. If your considering a purchase of one of Cabela's batteries, I'd say you are making an excellent choice.
Hey Muddbaggins, I loved your trailer. Your family is super nice. Great people to fall the map with. Let's go it again soon.

Camo paint
Forgive me for my tardiness. This working for a living is a pain.
I went on-line and obtained the official NATO paint scheme for a Jeep. Then I made a transparency copy to project onto the side, top, front and back of the Jeep. I already had prepped the body w/800grit sandpaper and block-sanding. I used Rustoliem (sp) primer and paint in a rattle can from your local HomeDepot.The official paint is Nuclear, Biological and chemical (special blend) paint and quit expensive and difficult to obtain. However the catolog on-line provides the paint numbers. HomeDepots colors just happened to match in the color scheme. Hence I painted my Jeep and trailer for about $200.00. Best thing is that if I get scratches I just grab a can. It shows little dirt. In fact I make it a point to wash it because unless you rub your hand across the paint you don't know its dirty!. For days I really want to show off the good side, I spray the paint with NoTouch tire treatment and wipe off the excess. Just as I do the top and tires. It shows very well and thus far I have realized no down side. No high luster shine in the bright sunlight. It seems to be just what I asked for- A low maintence paint job. Pin-stripe scratches are really easy to repair. Shot the bumpers and fender flares and frame with flat black.
