Where did you pick up those latches?! I have been keeping an eye out for them but haven't seen them locally

Really taking shape!

Everything is stripped off, it's primed and ready to be painted this weekend.

Painted Friday night to the same color as the tow vehicle.



Reassembled the trailer and painted the black areas.


Fishing poles installed.

All assembled there are a few things that stilled have to be done, wiring the tail lights in and all the electrical power in the tongue box. The tongue box will be done later (after the trip in two weeks).

Well I know it's been awhile so here are some updates to the build.
Installed a bracket for the table and solar panel inside the lid.



Making the propane tank holder.


Tank installed.


Added additional gas struts to lift the lid with ease.

Best daughter ever if she does say so herself.

Great build(s)! The original tie downs on the m416 also function as bottle openers. G.I. Ingenuity!

Thanks, I'll have to try out the tie down bottle openers. We are getting the rigs ready for CFW 2015 in a week. :REOutIceFishing:

Way cool, thanks to both you and your brother for the great play by play

 

[Abntroop]

Great builds! Thanks for sharing and for the inspiration!

With a new year we have two maybe three new builds coming. Each one should be an improvement on the last we have plenty of ideas floating around in our heads.

Mass produce that tank holder and you could sell thousands.
