Yah, just been kinda lazy. Working a long stretch of nights. Long shifts kinda kill the day. I got the tub back last Thursday. Mounted it on the frame the same day. It is great. Anyone who is considering it should just go for it. I love it. Last Friday I converted the Jeep to 7 pin. That was fairly easy the second time. Passenger side!!!! duh. Then for the trailer I pulled the new wire for the 7 pin. That's basically where I am at right now. Just trying to finish everything. The paint for the lid will hopefully arrive Tuesday. I am going to do camo green Plasti-Dip over the black gelcoat. Should look pretty good. As soon as I finish the lid I will put some pictures up for you guys.

Spent a few hours installing a DC power system in my dry-box. I got the Optima Yellow Top, Guest charger and breaker/distribution box installed along with the shore charging inlet and one 12v outlet. I plan on adding an MPPT charge controller to go along with the folding sale panels shortly. This should allow me to run quite long without the need to top up from AC power.
will be adding a Merit jack on the back to feed the ARB fridge directly using their native plug.
While I admit this adds to the tongue weight, I plan on having my spare mounted n the back of the trailer, which would offset this add.

Is anyone on here running their Tentrax with electric trailer brakes? I am considering adding them to mine to reduce the amount of push I get when going downhill off road. It looks like it would be about $280 in parts (left and right brake assembly, drum hubs, some locking washers and nuts, and wiring) for the trailer and a brake controller. Does the list below look complete?

Haven't done much to the trailer lately. I do have the itch to get away somewhere, hopefully within the next few weeks.
Here's my newest toy. Tiger 800. Lately I have been playing around on that. So far I love it.

Wow that looks great! The wife and I just got done packing some stuff in the Tentrax today we are headed to Moab at the end of the month. Will have more pics after that.:wings:
I really like having a wheel jack on the tongue but I wasnt able to find anything that fits the smaller 2x2 square tubing of the Tentrax. The mounts that come with the jacks are usually made for much larger trailer tubing. So I had my local Jeep shop fab up this very cool mount. The guy did a great job and now it just needs a little paint.

This was driving to Moab, only pic of the trailer from the trip LOL. Lots of Jeep shots though.
Would you mind sharing what your Linex job cost you? I picked up some rock damage on mine from the tow vehicle when we were in the desert last time. Now the linex has become a higher priority.

The LineX cost 500$ it included the wheel wells and about 6" wrap under the belly. Its also the non-fade LineX which is a little more $ then the regular. Im happy with it and plan on taking it out next weekend!
