I love the LED lights. I've got them all over my boat trailer... 10x brighter and they last longer!

Darby was on that track for a short time, had been looking for a 1/4 ton and a roof top tent finally found the roof tent a Mombasa that was 125 lbs total weight 42"X72"X10" high when closed would of worked great, went to pick it up last night and since the owner hadnt used it in a couple of years we open it up to find that the mice had a condo built in there, so now back to square one again!

Some more pics, with the trailer in tow behind the Jeep ...

And a close up of the Lock-N-Roll Articulating Hitch setup ...

Got the wood floor cut, routed, and drilled today. I used 1x6 cedar decking board. I had to route out a relief for the tailgate so it could swing without hitting the floor, and also route out the reliefs for the tiedowns in each corner. Now I have to pull the boards back out, sand them, and apply a few coats of spar varnish.

Looks GREAT Don. So if we build one for the KJ's,should we call it a "LIBBYCART"?

I have never been a fan of calling them "Libby's". Sounds like a girl's name that I have never liked.

Instead I'd call it a RENECART or a KJCART or something like that. :lol:

But you like the girls name Rubi huh? :lol:

My In-laws Dachsund is named Libby so I try not to use that name for the KJ's.

Dang. good point. You got me there. :lol:

So since mine is a Sport guess it has to be a SPORTCART, just doesnt have the same ring to it!

I think Don has a thing for Rubi though :wink:

Have you started on the cover for it yet? I had one drawn up that came down over all the edges , even the tail gate for extra security but then thought it would be hassle each time you needed in the back? Easier to just drop the gate and grab something.

How does it pull? Cant weigh that much so should be pretty good!

I haven't started on the cover or fenders yet. Soon hopefully. I should have the floor varnished and reinstalled by wednesday.

It pulls like it isn't there, except for the fact that it bounces a lot since it is so light. I bet with some gear in it it'll pull like a dream.

Great trailer Pix, you could have gone with the Australian name for the Lib "CherokeeKart" no girly sounds there mate.

I'm sorry I just couldn't leave that one out :shock:
