Nothing wrong with being cheap!

I definitely get the cold thing.....My running boards for the Rebel show up tomorrow but it's going to be about 12 degrees tomorrow.....
I need to hurry up and get my shop finished so that I can work on things!!!

If you are looking for some things to do....I'd put some gears in it. I'm probably going 5.13s but I tow a lot. I'd also look into an D n J billet valve body plate with a few trans updates to bullet proof that thing.

I don’t tow anything heavy but the information on the transmission is the kind of stuff I want if I was going to go with larger tires than 35s i would think about a regear

That’s one of the reasons I want my camping gear to be on my truck only not near as comfortable but less stuff that breaks plus it limits the number of people who get to come lol room for dogs not kids

I have a friend that is a welder he used to build truck box trailers he never had one fail but so many others did that they pretty much outlawed them that video just proves that even new stuff breaks

its not like those trailers are built with high strength steels and world class welders or professional engineers of any kind. all them trailers look like cheap garbage to me

Pretty much! They build em as cheap and light as possible for the most part. Pretty much all of them are just cheap junk. There are a few quality ones, like airstream for example, but you can buy 4 or 5 of the cheap ones for the cost of 1 airstream.

Heavy duty boxed aluminum frame and cast iron bulldog hitch…dont think these trailers are having the frame issues lol

When I bought my truck I gave it my crawl test I crawled under it and checked it out one of the first things I noticed was the resonator hanging down so it had to go but I also looked for things that where strong like the boxed frame but flimsy bumpers so if you are going to spend that kind of money you have do your research
