It looks great. Nice utilitarian build.

What lights are you going to use? Have you applied weathershield all around? Good luck. I am curious to see if it works out.

I have some pretty generic LED taillights. I am looking for a low draw LED reverse light to add in as I am using 7-wire all around.

What do you mean "weathershield"?

Looking very nice!!!

I was pretty proud of my trailer, having just painted it. But yours looks even better! The top came out very nice, too.

I'm really liking the way you used black to get a different look. Is it just paint or something else???

Thanks, but I can't take credit for the paint. The wife and I attempted to rattle-can it and gave up. This was done be a local car painter. He found a vendor with a single stage flat paint. His knowledge on how to mix up paint means this will last a long time. The fenders and underside are the same paint in black. I may bedline the inside of the tub.

Haha. The paint job was nice wasn't it. As for the wheels/tires, you can have 'em for a six pack of some dark brown beer if you pick them up. The Thornturds are just taking up space in my shed!

What are the specs on the black top in the early posts of your build thread (nylon, uv resistant, canvas)? Where can one be purchased? thanks.

It is actually the OEM vinyl/fabric top. It appears to have been painted black. On the underside (which is green BTW) I can still the the marking for the lunnette direction and so on. The paint is coming off of the black top in areas where water pooled over the winter and you can see the green underneath. I haven't decided whether or not to sell the top.
