Put up an improvised spray booth and managed to get a couple coats of high build primer laid down. Just needs a little more body work, couple more coats of high build, sand it down with 400 and she'll be ready for paint!!!

Nice build! It's going to have a ton of character. One thought, with the spare out back are you going to have enough tongue weight to keep it from fish-tailing on you? I added a bike rack to a friend's tent trailer for two bikes. With the bikes in place it lightened the tongue so much that you couldn't tow faster than about 55 without it starting to sway wildly.

I think so, with the body mounted! I plan on having dual batteries, fridge and any other accessories mounted in the nose. Should distribute the weight well!

Last of the body work complete and final coats of primer applied. It is evident I am no body man; however it does look pretty good for something that is going to be bouncing off of rocks and trees.
