    New pics

    I am heading to Uwharrie for a few days, dragging the trailer with me. It is about finished, except axle and tires. Picture it on 31" ATs. For reference, the tires on it are about 19" tall. That will lift the trailer 6", which is perfect! I currently use a 3" drop to keep the trailer level,which means if I flip it to a 3" lift, it will be perfect again!!
    I welded the tool box up higher so I can fit my electric jack under it, just need to cut the tube and sleeve it so I can remove it and have it fit flush with the tongue and skid plate I need to add.

    From the Lifetime site: trailer weighs about 700lbs, the tent weighs 25lbs. I figure the tool box and battery setup probably weigh a combined 80-100lbs. Load on all the gear, I am probably sitting somewhere in the 1300-1500lb range. Once I add the bigger axle and tires, figure another 100-125lbs. Not bad at all. I got 12mpg heading down there, 13.5mpg on the way back, and I averaged 6.8mpg on the trail...lol.
