- I wanted to add front clearance lights to my trailer and in the process I decided to completely redo the wiring and add extra tie-downs to the front.

Cool rig setup driver
Nice setup i am also doing the same kind of setup for my 7x14 trailer using the 4 conductor wire i bought from local store
Nice upgrades. Really like the front markers. I have a 5x10 utility trailer and it also came with no markers up front. So I'm working on putting two amber markers up front also. The tie-down angles are good too. I was also attaching straps and bungies at the bottom of vertical sq. tubes. I welded on little D-rings everywhere you could ever want a tie spot. The junction box is a good idea too. It's all inexpensive, so why not. A real good thing about your trailer is having a wrapped tongue. Lots of little ones don't have those supports running under the frame. Wrapped is far stroner.
I appreciate it! I am a huge fan of the A-frame style tongue. The only thing I don’t like about the trailer is that it’s not quite wide enough for the Ranger to fit. I have to use the 10k car hauler which is a little overkill. 😂
@@jon_saunders Yup would be nice to have an extra foot wider. 6x10 or 6x12 would be perfect.
No doubt, a 6x10 would be ideal, but trailers are ridiculously expensive nowadays, even used ones.
@@jon_saunders Everything seems to be through the roof, thanks to our dear leader. Let's Go Brandon!
Doesn’t look like anything is going to be getting cheaper anytime soon either.
Don't forget to treat your wood planks. Good old used oil works great.
Good point. I’ve never done that before, but I’ve heard a lot of people mention it. Next time I change my oil I’ll try it.
Did you ground your clearance lights to the frame?
Yes, the lights ground through the mounting bolt.
