slider latch installed and it holds like a charm I can pull the trailer around with the rear slider and it doesnt move.

I was worried the jack may get beat up if I didn't move it off the trailer when off road so I decided this was a good place for it

finally secured the rear cargo tie downs

I got myself a Coleman expedition fold up kitchen but it wouldn't fit easy so I figured a way out. the top shelve has 6 3/4" height and the back is 18 1/2 so there should be plenty of storage. I will also have a top shelve that I can put longer items on that are less then 4" thick

Finally I figured a way to attache the diagonal supports to the feet while giving myself a bigger "footprint"

No matter how much I do it seems like this project is never going to be finished.
