Got a New Trailer

If not already, get new hubs with the 5x4.5 bolt spacing, and 3 more matching wheels, then it'll match your Jeep, and you'll have more spares just in case you lose another wheel...
His hands must be kept warm to write those checks. Workers gotta get paid. He is the boss.
Really... who wears boat shoes anymore, much less when Jeeping...
I think the Jeep was just protesting... @AndyG , just drop the Jeep off at my house, I'll have a long talk with it, and all will be sorted. (you can slip the title under the garage door, and leave the keys behind the wreath on the basement door...)
OP
Got a Hopkins direct plug-in trailer wire kit-
I have one of those on my tj for the rare occasions it pulls alittle trailer. No complaints
OP
Lights up good in back now , had a weird issue throwing the brake lights- ground was loose in the harness.
The NATO tail lights are about the weird- 4 bulbs each
I think my favorite part is the articulating hitch.
The next project is an operable tailgate- I’ve got a heavy duty piano hinge that might work-
Then to decide whether to paint it black-
Thinking black and silver rubicon hood lettering or “Rubi- Container”
The Rig drives amazing with it in tow. I was stunned. Hated to unhook it.

M416. Had one for my military M151 mutt when I was in and bought one from surplus for $125 right as I was getting out. They originally came with a pintle hitch which is great for off road. The reason they didn't have a tailgate was so they would float.
I regret selling it in 1992 for $500. Yours is in the best condition I have ever seen.

“Rubipro.” The “-con” being there’s no room for stuff.
Not to be outdone by AndyG, I picked up a trailer of my own. It's a fixer-upper.

I will if the rent is cheaper. It can't be higher than the city I live in. HIGH rent, low crime.

Boat shoes? Irish setters guys. Manly.
Irish Setter is Red Wings import line. Get about 1/2 life out of them compared to US Made Red Wings. Also my Cobbler says the US Made are much better materials and holdup to a rebuild better. Just had a pair of Irish Setters resoled , wasn’t worth the money. Should’ve gone new.
