Not much to show on the LJ, the planets have not aligned for me to get out wheeling in the past month. The window is just about closed for 2024 with old man winter marching this way. Today was the day to get the snow blower and blade on the tractor in anticipation of some snow, and to get the shop in the winter configuration.
This year I’ve got a trailer to add to the mix, so I decided to load the LJ on it and push that into the shop to allow for work on both inside.
I’ve got two trailer projects for this winter:
I plan to build out this toolbox with a winch, battery, NOCO AC charger, tow charging, and a new trailer wiring junction box.l to allow me to add reverse lights and deck lights.
The other project is to extend the loading ramps. They are 5 feet long and they could have been 6.5 feet and still fit under the trailer in the provided structure.
I’ve got no issues loading the LJ with the ramps as they are but I’ve got some lowered cars to load and they will benefit from longer ramps.
I sourced the same extrusions in 6061–T6 and some other shapes to help as reinforcements across the butt joints on the main beams.
To do this I’ve got to learn how to weld aluminum. I got the gear and a plenty of extra extrusion for practice.
And why not also try a new way to cut stock? This was on special with a free 8aH battery.
