I'm going to hack the shifter buttons and wiring onto it this weekend and give Bebop fits of rage. :laughing:
 
Coolest part of the trailer deal IMO was my trade in pitch to him to finalize the price i wanted him to pay me for my trade in. "I'm willing to swap the overhead cabinet doors out of my old trailer that are all stickered up for the ones in the new trailer if we agree on my price" and that sealed the deal. I get my cool sticker collection back and he doesn't have to scrape them off to resell the trailer. It was a win for the both of us.

Sweet looking trailer!

For the next sticker collection, use some thin plexiglass with some double sided Velcro (or something similar) to mount to the cabinets. That way your stickers stay intact if/when you ever change trailers again.

Good idea but I'm pretty sure I won't be allowed to buy another trailer in my lifetime unless I get divorced or hit the lottery. :laughing:
 
So you're saying I need an LSX in a crate sitting in the garage next to my Whipple when I die? :grinpimp:

Not getting my stickered up cabinet doors swapped. New cabinet doors are 1" narrower. I'm honestly bummed out about that. 😔

If you can just peel them off you can re-glue them on the new deal.
The best plan though is the lexan sheet or vinyl frame.
 
I ordered a BlackfishFab queen size bed for my old trailer a few months ago but never got around to installing it. Over the weekend I pulled it out of the box and put it in the new trailer. :smokin: I modified (cut up) the wall brackets that came in the kit and mounted the hinge to the fender well and used the top portion of the brackets mounted to the wall studs for the strap that holds the bed in the upright position. I think it came out pretty good myself...

Next up was a bunch of trailer organizing products I picked up at Summit Racing on Friday. It has decent counter space but because my wife goes to the races with me I'm not actually allowed to use those for race car trailer things so I picked up this foldable and removable table and mounted it on the wall. Bonus with this table is that it hangs on 4 aluminum buttons and they give you 4 extra so the table can be mounted in different spots. My plan with the extra 4 buttons is to mount them on the side of the trailer under the awning so I have an outdoor work table at the track.....

Mounted a fluid rack that holds all the stuff I'll ever need at the track in one convenient place and it doesn't take up the limited cabinet space I have.....

Mounted a push and normal broom bracket near the back door to keep them out of the way and easily accessible so I can clean off the back door before I close it.

The other stuff I picked up like a grease gun holder, air hose holder, tire gauge holder and paper towel roll holder I didn't get any pictures of.

Edit: Also forgot to take a picture of the electric tongue jack I put on it. I wired it up to plug into my trucks 7 pin trailer connector so nobody can randomly raise it up and down until the trailer battery and/or jack motor is toast. Also acts as a slight theft deterrent. If the 12v charging pin on the 7 way trailer plug hookup on the truck isn't powered the jack isn't moving.

Because a 40' goose was $20k more and I'm not paying that much extra for 6' and a carpeted cubby hole up front to sleep in. :laughing:

Logical approach for sure :lmao: I've never priced a new trailer so didn't realize there was that much price difference between the two styles.

Trailer progress looks great and I really like that fluid rack. Battery operated leaf blower will be your friend for cleaning the trailer as well.
