Pressure washing the trailer today. Getting it ready to paint, grease the wheel bearings and put on the new LED side marker lights and tail lights. I welded on the side marker light brackets yesterday that I made out of 2" angle iron.
Utah Moab Trip 4/27/19-5/5/19

Sounds like a fun day. That trailer looks awfully familiar.
I used a lock washer so when it got close it held itself. As @Alex01 said, there’s an access hole underneath. Do you have frame tie-ins? Not that you need them, just want to make sure I bring what you need
For this trip....I think everyone should take a picture of their rig or set up just as they are getting ready to leave home for "Moab". 
OP
Nope, right now I’m just on the stock bumper. I’m going to try and find a hook locally because I don’t want to leave it until the last minute to get my rig together but I think yours is a good backup plan.
I’ll give you 2, I have 6 of them, what do you prefer chrome or black?
Good plan. I’ll bring it
Will need a drill and 7/16” or 1/2” bit and grade 8 hardware to drill one extra hole. I leave tomorrow. I will bring the hook for sure. If you want me to bring those bits let me know.

Don't for get a picture of you loaded up and about ready to head out from your house tomorrow and post it here.
So this is what jinxed us..... We're both officially in the last minute category now.
5 days to get 2 rigs ready. Should be a fun week.
I can't actually load anything till the day before I move out, so you will get pictures, but later in the week. I mean I will be loaded for the most part the truck and the camper, but the jeep won't go on the trailer till the last minute. I have load up the Jeep on the street or I can't get out of the driveway haha.Don't for get a picture of you loaded up and about ready to head out from your house tomorrow and post it here.

! Especially Alex! I’ve been following your build thread...I hope this all works. My guess is it will!
Super jealous. I still have 4 more days of work then head out friday afternoon.
It's our own faults for not leaving well enough alone. Parts arrive monday so I have a few days. Worse case mine is getting its new seal in moab.You guys are nuts
Yeah, but leaving our rigs alone really isn’t in the cards, even as awesome as your rig already is. Got to be tinkering, improving.
OP
How far do you think you will get on Friday? Are you going I-80? We are leaving on Friday as well, but have to stop at Cabela's on the way. Can't go by their without stopping!
Can't go wrong at cabelas. I can't wait for the next time we get up to Truckee so we can go show the baby the animals.
We are stopping in Elko, NV at the Homes 2suites by hilton.

No not this year but I can drop them at @Alex01 place in Martinez at 3:30 to 3:45 am as I go through there every Monday morning if that works.
