    One of the benefits of living in Michigan…. Fenders on trailers are not required!!!

    I’ve got it mocked up doesn’t look to bad although it’s a tad tall. Given the lack of availability of fenders it will work. I may bolt the fenders on rather than welding them. I’d like to be able to remove the fenders if needed.

    All that’s left is to paint the fenders and install them.
    I can bolt them to the frame and not need the angle after all.

    chains are on and bed anchors are bolted down.

    Couldn’t sleep last night so I kicked the garage furnace on and painted the fenders.

    No I’m too lazy and untalented in the ways of Bob Ross :rofl: :lol: to go that far. If we get stickers again I will though.

    I took a few minutes tonight to mount the fenders they don’t look bad for being the wrong size. :whistle:

    Well, having loaded wood in that trailer more than once, I gotta say that looks way better than it used to. Nice re vamp for sure.

    I am glad to see you put fenders on it. That is the way to go. Besides you would not want to be responsible for picking up a rock and breaking a windshield. Great job on the trailer.

    Had you never mentioned the wrong size, i would have never guessed. Looks just fine to me. Almost too nice to put wood in.
