Plumbing all tucked away, and spare tire mounted inside via the passenger seat hooks.  :icon_salut: No picture yet, but it was a pretty slick location.

Keystone has a particularly unique set of front seats that actually work with the RC setup. They are VW seats that have done very well in the elements, but they needed a few spot welds to make sturdy them up. Done and Done.  :headbang: Down right cushy.  :nono:

I was thinking just the same, except only to the hook of shame.

Unfortunately, I don't even have 5.3.  :017:

But the little sipper V8 has done well thus far. Low and slow once or twice a year.  :steeringwheel:

Can we say Fuel Cell?  :dontknow:
Indeed a dirty job, and lacking a little work  but much better than the woefully exposed stock setup.  :035:

I am curious as well. A nice set of Rock Sliders just does not seem to be available for the RC.

Single set of brakes on axels at the moment. We shall see how they hold up, but fortunately I have a light foot.  :steeringwheel:

Glass Be Gone does not work as well as Va-poo-rise. Where does the poo go? One of the few movies I have actually seen. 10 points to the first to name that movie.

However, Keystone had Christmas come early; the remaining fuel cell parts are in, straps came in, and driveshafts are on the way. Oh boy.

Sorry I was out of town this past weekend. 2280 is the official weight of the trailer. 7k towing capacity leaves room for 4720 +/- 500lbs for tongue weight. Not bad! Although Keystone still needs to go on a diet.

Besides the two members here that know the weight, does anyone want to venture a guess at the official weight of the trailer as pictured above? Ready to rock and roll. :)

I can only confirm that it is technically lighter than it started yesterday. :)

The inspection from the Law was to ensure that no markings were present and that there were no similarly described stolen trailers in the system. It passed that process yesterday, but unfortunately the Officer put "Shopmade" instead of "Homemade". One requires a Bill of Sale. So he is changing that today and then off to get a VIN and then tags!

Nearly finished product. :)

Update:

Trailer is nearly complete. After a weekend's worth of wiring, board running, re-wiring, cursing the Trailer Gods, thanking the Trailer Gods, and a test load. I am happy to say this project is nearing completion. Inspection with Sheriff happens tomorrow.

I am most afraid of a tree limb swinging into one and leaving the trail full of glass. Maybe they will be coming out soon.  :violent1:

Boards have all now been powerwashed and "resurfaced". I purchased the Behr wood refinishing product and to be honest, it worked pretty dang well. Granted, it is expensive and does not really spread that far, but from what I can tell the exterior is hard as a rock and the pulp and resin filled all of the cracks and gaps perfectly. To do the 8 boards, it took nearly 4 gallons, but I would use it again.
