Nice! I'm tellin ya, the welds looks awesome, and it carries over well onto the lid!

I agree, those welds look great! This is really a nice project, thank you for sharing!

Thanks for the compliments fellas!

I got a little more done today, but nothing really picture worthy. I worked on the back bumper, using a peice of 61" long 2x3" 3/16 wall tubing I had. I was trying to cut out oval holes for my flush mount LED tail lights, but my 2-1/2" hole saw was about shot, probably from all the holes I cut when building my cargo rack, lol. I was able to get one oval hole cut out with my grinder, it took forever to grind out the the half round end portion of the holes.

Great design and build.

Thank you!

This week I plan on ordering some latches for the lid, weather stripping for the tailgate, and a stick of 1" square tubing for my front water/gas container rack that will be across the front of the trailer. These are the latches I'm going to go with:
