what did you do to your trailer today?

Today I hacked up my new to me Lunette ring. It felt a bit sacrilegious, but in the end, it was a spare that another ExPo member was not using, and it is now getting used albeit in a slightly modified form.

Chop Chop...



I ground off the sides to squeeze the shaft into the receiver extension.



Fits like a glove!



Going to drill this out, and put a BIG grade 8 bolt through this. I will also be welding the end of the receiver extension tube to the shaft. Goint to heat the hell out of it then use a friends Mig to weld it up. Cast needs to be heated to bond I am told, he has welded cast before so I will listen and learn.



Oh and I drove it today for the first time since the refurb began. Got a lot of looks and a few thumbs up. It really stands out!

Hauled it out to a local Jeep "Show and Grime". Was an awesome turnout, and some truly amazing wheelers and ExPo rigs.

Wavebreaker's Woody ExPo trailers first post completion trip





The only shot I took of mine there... got there early, got blocked in!



AN Evoque hit the RTI ramp, the owner was a great sport, she got a lot of props for doing it!!



Now back to work on getting my RTT mounted.

Trying to put my side lockers together. Their turning out to be a real pain in the but to get everything just right. At least for me by my self.

^ that does not look easy to do solo.

I worked with My good friend Mike (Wavebreaker) to get the modified Lunette project going. Took me 45 GB minutes to drill a hole in the cast iron with a drill press, about 4 assorted 1/2" bits and a lot of cutting lube! Mike was nice enough to weld the tubes together, bonded really well and in combination with the huge grade 8 bolt... one stout extended tongue was born.





We also made some plans for getting the lid finally attached. Been lazy this week, need to get this completed. Hardware picked up tomorrow, hopefully RTT installed this weekend!

Spent three hours trying to wire the new M116a2 trailer, New 7 blade sealed loom, new grott tail lights, junction box
and wires run hooked everything up and only the right light worked, checked bulbs, fusses, truck plug, " hooked the 101A2 up and it worked fine"
pulled my hair out trying to wire 4 simple tail light wires........................Only to find out the YELLOW wire in sealed plug was bad!

Returned it and waiting for a new one. I could have wired the 4 pin I had but I want to add a hot like from the truck later.
