Fred Ed built that bumper and either he or a friend of his did the board for it..
Yea i love this bumper!! Its fun and really different. One thing i hope to do is use battle switches or a pico switch to control it from the TX. Should be able to make it work, it'll only mean a few more wires haha

I promise I will never complain about my wiring nightmare after seeing the birds nest of wiring you have to deal with this is not a truck you want to remove the body on a daily basis eh? lol
Trailer looks sweet, can't wait for updates. How long is it by the way?

Mario
Thanks Mario! Yea there are a lot of wires!! It'll have 2 batteries in there too. BUT ill be adding charging ports as that cab will NOT be removed on a daily basis or hopefully ever!! The trailer is 32" long And the top sits 10" tall ill post pics for ya. And ya dont complain about wires!!!! Did i mention that i will be putting the seats and dash in it keeping the windows clear?

I found it at a garage sale for $1 HAHA J/K It has made its way through a few hands.

Ok here are a few more pics of the trailer


As with everything i took it all apart!!


Ed helped me at st louis to fix the rear latch so i followed his advice when i got back and re did the whole rear latch with a better hold (ED Big Thanks for all your help!!!)


Here she is all shiney

Even added some fingerprints (gotta re polish the sides)



Heres the lift setup has a 5 stage cylinder


Gets 22" of lift (Just put on my orange truck to level trailer, had to brace it as i have no wet kit on that truck)




Hope that answers some of the trailer questions i hope to have a video of it lifting by the end of the week

Again big thanks to Ed, and J.D for the help at St louis!!
