| Looks good, surprised you aren't able to find paint closer to match the body of your Jeep. |

| Later on I may repaint it but I'm leaning toward getting it raptor-lined. I just wanted to get rid of the rust and make it look decent. |

| Since when did John Deere make off road trailers?
Lol, just kidding man. It looks good and you can't beat the price. |

Looks good man! He did a good job! I need to plan a trip up there to have him sandblast/prime mine. ....Now my question is: can you backup? I need to learn how backup with my trailer, I am so bad at it! Frustrating sometimes!

| Here's a trick when learning to back up. Look over your right shoulder and put your left hand at the top of the steering wheel. If the trailer is going too left/right, move your steering hand to the same side as the trailer is heading.
Remember, small adjustments are best. This is especially true with a short wheelbase and short tongue trailer. Very little input is needed to steer that kind of setup. |

| What he said. I'm used to longer trailers but you get used to the short trailer with some practice. |

What are you going to do to it? are you getting a roof top tent or fab something? ... I want a RTT for my trailer but they are so expensive. ...for good trailer mods check out expedition portal or ih8mud at their trailer section |

| I did think about selling the trailer but like a friend on here told me that I could never build another trailer for what I paid for this one. If I ever sell it then the price would be a lot more  |
