Here is a video update of my trailer. I haven't taken any videos yet so this one is pretty long winded. https://youtu.be/UHiotSXC_DI

Don't Litter
Love the flat fenders! I'm not a fan at all of my round ones...
I went a little crazy and added a 2.5" 0.25 thick square tubing from the tongue all the way back to the cross member at the axle (or I guess, axleless suspension). I just want it to be really beefy and the stock tongue just wasn't doing it for me. I think it will be worth its weight.

I fastened the fenders to the trailer temporarily to do a fit check. They fit! The tire on the front is not going to stay there... I plan on building a storage box on the front out of tubing with an expanded metal floor. I will mount the tire on top of that so the top of the tire should be flush with the trim where the roof begins.

Looks great and nice car cover
Replaced the bolt on jack on the tongue with a weld on swivel jack. Much better
Took it for it's first ever drive around the block today. My dad tailed me in his truck to act as my brake and turn signals since I do not have any yet.
Then brought it home and welded the fenders on. They look great, they are sturdy enough to stand on. In hindsight, I'd have given the tires a little bit more clearance, but they should be fine.
