Lots of progress this weekend. Finished the frame, mounted the jack, installed shocks, wired led lights, and mounted the tub. Still a long ways to go but I can see the end of the tunnel.

Frame, fenders and rack are 100% done and waiting.
Tub painting in progress. Black Berliner inside and under. White enamel on tub exterior. This is just white primer.

Great build ! Make sure you pat yourself on the back, that came out sweet....
I would suggest this as the trailer jack.It really makes a difference rolling the trailer on all sorts of terrain.

I would also suggest changing out the wheels for Jeep wheels . This will allow you to use tires better suited for off-road use. The tires that fit the 16"rims are LT tires for a 3/4 ton or one ton truck .
These HD tires will not flex when aired down causing the trailer tires to bounce into the air off-road. With Jeep wheel you can fit an off-road tire load range "C" that will air-down and flex offroad. I use one of the 16 wheel/tires as a spare .

These 416's are so maneuverable by hand, even when moderately loaded that a wheeled jack stand is overkill. Of course, YMMV
Of course ,empty on a flat paved surface . Loaded and not in a driveway is a different story.
