Awesome build. I need to add a bunch more screws and supports to my trailer.

My starcraft came with one support post for the opposite corner of the door. my dealer said that's enough to support it if the cable would break.

Finished up my wiring today. Got a safety on and off switch installed for the winch for stray signals. Rare it could happen but what the heck. Started working on the rear bumper. Super simple with ammo can storage.
Here are the bolt ammo cans locations. Had wanted them to open on top, but with the stabilizers and bumper brackets this is the only option. Will fix them to hinge downward.
Figuring I will run a spare tire off the back along with a high lift.
Planning on camping in the backyard tonight, of course 30-40 mph winds.
Oh my Merica knitted beer cozy!

Did a little more today.
Switched shocks out. Not to impressed think I will need to redo my shock mounts. Probably go almost 90 degree mount should help out. Going to test drive it first though.
Worked on my rear bumper setup. Ammo cans were welded and mounted
Threw the spare tire on to get a feel. Hangs below the bumper but is still higher than everything else just looks weird.

Appreciate it!
Took the trailer to work today finish painting and test run it on the highway. With a lower ride height and the new shocks it runs better. Sunday going to take it for a trail ride. Hope to get the spare on this week.

Got quite a bit done today! I added frame tie in's for the subframe/original frame. Fully welded the subframe and just one side of the original untill I test drive it
What jack stand is on your other trailer with the big wheel? Is there a source online for purchasing?
Thanks,
Chris

Home built harbor freight jack and wheel.
I really didnt care for it because the tire wall would try to fold over sometimes.
