Whooo hooo. I hope I get it. I want the 9 acres to put a shop on.. No more working outside..

Today I had to move some things around on the trailer..

The front recovery box had to moved up, I really sat too low as it was.
I was playing around with differet places to place the waster container.
I will get the steel and have the local shop weld up a "cage" for it and
tack it to the frame.. I also ordered me a new Jerry can and holder.

This one will be locked.. I placed an order for a Chuck Box, kit.
Well good times ahead. I also prdered me a pair of legs for the trailer.

 

[Backroad Explorer]

Nice look'n legs ya got their Dirtytires :Astrologist:

 

[Dirtytires]

I had the opportunity to install the legs today.. these things really make a big difference.

I have a little rust repair to do with the lights brackets I discovered.
I tied the tank to where I thought I could mount it.

I dont think there is enough ground clearance.. Damn it.

.
Any ideas on where to mount this thing ? Grrrr.

Water tanks come many shapes. I'd sell that one and find a wider, less deep model.

 

[Dirtytires]

Thanks loren85022, I now have two tanks that are of mo use to me. Anyideas where to get such a tank?
all I see is the square tanks, instead of a rectangular.

 

[Backroad Explorer]

Dirtytires Valterra makes an 18 gallon tank that measures 8x16x36.
All their tanks are 8x16 the lenght changes depending on gallons.
The 18 gal. ranges from $69.00 to $104.00 depending what site you find. I'll PM you a site that has them for the lower price after work.

 

[Dirtytires]

Got a nice all important little piece of the trailer in the mail this day..
The all imortant bottle opener.. yeah. I was looking at homes all day today
so I did not do anything with the trailer. I did however get some water
sealing done yesterday. best time to seal it was when it was raining.

 

[Dirtytires]

Ho hum. I removed the old utility light and replaced it wth a brand state of the art
36 led light. I need to get back on the train here.

 

[Dirtytires]

As it sits today.

 

[Mark Harley]

Looks awesome! How is the house sale going?

Life took over and stalled my build, Lots of ideas and materials for the build.
Now I need time for finish.
