Cowboy 4x4 off road CT build

[cowboy4x4]

today I rewired the rear door lights, they were wired at the bottom from the factory so I had to re route the wires to the top since I made the door hinge at the top. I also added a utility light in the door on the inside.

Very nice! Instant awning.
Let's see the new wheel and tire pictures.
Will you be painting or wrapping the trailer?

I painted the roof tan.... the silver was like a mirror with the sun.

installed some fender protection as well, trying to keep the rock dings at a minimum.

until I can get some new rims and tires I just painted the rims black.

Any graphics or wrap for the sides?

 

[cowboy4x4]

Graphics/paint on the sides will be the last to go on as I have to install a side door and two windows. I'm also installing a recessed propane tank in the side as well.

What are you using for the fender protection and where did you get it? Thanks

weeelllllllll...... it's actually grip tape for skateboards. Any skate shop and possibly bike shops will carry it. Just so you know make sure you put it on straight the first time because it is a ******** to try and get off. Home depot used to carry something similar but it wasn't as wide. I think this was 9 or 10 inches wide. I had to narrow it down and I rounded the corners. It comes in several colors as well as jungle camouflage.

80 watt solar panel with morning star controller for base camp.

10 watt solar panel battery tender for when trailer is stored at home.

Where did you get the solar pannels from?

Haven't done much to the trailer lately, work has been slow gotta watch what I spend. I noticed that while driving over bumps the water cans in the holders would clang and rattle. Upon pulling them out I saw that the paint was wearing through from the rubbing. I used some 1/8 rubber on the bottom and some 1/16 thick on the sides. That should keep everything in good working order.
