Took off the soft toneau and RTT in favor of a hard top. Still a long way to go but moving forward...

Looking good You could do the 3M 1080 Wrap in Matte Olive green. That would look good or even better Line X a custom color. Even with Powder Coat my trailer is chipping

Got the hardtop back into one piece -one of my old sailing buddies is doing the fiberglass work. I think it turned out awesome! I decided the front tailgate had no purpose and that it should be welded up -that will also give me a greater area to mount the hinge for the hardtop.

Looking great Will!!! Bring it down this winter for some FL camping. My new trailer should be done by mid August.

Thanks Ben -Curious to see your next trailer. Ive made a little more progress. I had the front tailgate area welded up -now Ive got a solid area to mount a hinge for the hardtop, I didnt see the value in the front tailgate anyway. The hardtop was put back on for fitment now that its one piece again.







Hard to believe not that lot ago it looked like this:

I still need to find a way to add gas struts to lift the hardcover on the trailer, also need to find a way to latch/lock it closed.
