jedimaster Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Well I hooked up the motor and backed it in and wouldn't yah know it... literally like 3 inches from fitting in. I could just angle it but I wanna try and get it in... Not much room... So here goes... OH SO CLOSE!!! Unbolted the chains, took off the lights, wiring harness and test allignment.. Time to cut... Ahhh... gotta love the Rescue Bladea and recipriccating saw.. Goes through like butter... Almost cut the harness. Test fit before I bolt it down.. Move the wheel thingy back, Drilled some holes, Bolted it all back up... All done... Very happy. Saved me from buying the hinge do hickey. If it was like a foot off I wolda got the hinge, but only a few inches.. just not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedimaster Posted April 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Yah, with only a 6 inches off tongue. I am not too worried about it. And being I tow it with a Jeep, I gotta be real careful anyway. Next job is to paint the trailer the same color as the jeep. I painted the TJ last weekend... Here is a pic of the TJ, after the OG paint scheme. Only half done in the pic but you get the idea. Trailer is gonna go the same color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 well the tongue weight will be more and if that's not a problem you will be fine you could move the axle ahead a bit if it is a problem, but I don't think it will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glen Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Thats some nice work right there. Now what paint are you going to use on your trailer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted April 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Gonna strip the trailer down clean up the little rusty bits, prime it and use the same paint from the car, I think I'll seal it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 You are going all out. Get at it open water is coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted April 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Tremclad is good too, as long as you thin it out and put a few coats on. Car paint is a bit more durable and can also be rolled. For the jeep and the trailer though, its flat Olive Green. The boat will be done in Gloss black tremclad, the inside will be flat rolled on. Just killing time sprucing things up while I am waiting for the ice to melt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeter Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 The inside of the boat is going to be black? Thats going to get real hot in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
