Took my trailer to Southeast Overland to be patched up and a rack installed for my RTT. The trailer will be built in phases as I see what I need and $ allows.

Had it blasted. Came out great! Already knew it would need work in front nose of trailer.

Being primered as we speak. I plan to finalize everything with them Monday. I hope to have everything patched up, extend the tongue, make a new full tailgate, and a rack for the RTT.
 
Future plans are either to swap the hubs to match the cruiser and 31" tires or a new axle all together. A box up front on the tongue as well. I have a gift card for Amazon I plan to use on battery powered led lights.
 
Direction I am headed in.

A cover just isn't realistic for me $ wise.right now.
 
Current setup..still need to extend tongue and change hitch setup but money tree hasn't bloomed yet this year!

Adding a little more support for insurance but this is basically what it looks like opened up.

Plan to put any cross-bracing in the front/back direction, or put gussets in?
Some last minute reinforcement is being added now however that is 1" tubing gusseted to the tub already. Several people have reached out to me about the bracing so better safe than sorry.
 
Well just got back from my 1st trip with the trailer. Got to get a second jack for the front of the trailer. Need some leveling blocks. And unfortunately a new rear tail light. Clipped the boat trailer fender and broke one. Led lights I picked up off of Amazon were great!

Poor pics but Gervaise welded in the front feet today. Hoping to start learning how to weld this winter and extend the tongue next year myself.
