Sooooooooooooooo I figured out how to make the 'vert wheels work... I think... Need to pul one off tomorrow and verify a measurement, but if I'm right, oddly enough it will be an aftermarket Jeep part that makes it possible.... and some new 5x4.5 hubs courtesy of NorthernTool.

Planning on it.... Also need to de-pin the connectors and get some Raychem or that expandable sleeve tubing on the wires.... that shit right there is just sloppy

Wait till you see the pass-through's for the 2ga battery cable Wait...... why would someone need 2ga battery cable on a trailer? Ok, maybe 4ga... I need to check my stock to see what I actually have left over.

I'm with you on buying the toolbox though, I thought about making one a while ago. Buying decent rollers costs more then most boxes on the market lol.

Thanks man. I need to get back into practicing TIG welding SS. I was doing alot of really thin shit and it wasn't turning out so good, so I said fuck it and just MIG'ed everything that was SS. BUT, with some future plans that I have, I need to sack-up and get practicing.

Sooooooooo with the exception of a few "finished" photo's withen the next few days, the trailer project will be put on hold for a while as the car needs a little rear end attention before a 2-day track event in 2 weeks. Oh well.... that and I'm waiting on some parts for some sexy finishing touches as I had a few good ideas tonight.

Curious, what's the issue? Is it this? If so what trick do you have up your sleeve, mind sharing

And onboard air

From what I've gathered over too many years in the marine industry, trailer wheels and hubs are 0 offset. And MOST of the axles are 1" stright spline so interchangeability is pretty easy. So, found me a 5x4.5 hub, and the spacer..... well, I'll just get a pic of that when it comes in

My favorite tool is my 4 1/2 angle grinder. The thing is so damn useful. I can cut anything with it super fast. But my newest fav is my cordless dremel best $100 I ever spend.
