Thanks Lou....I wish we were closer too! I hear it all the time from my brother who lives in Cranbrook Not sure what you mean about back doors? The dump trailer came with a perfect rear tailgate built by Izzy but I like the idea for my reefer trailer for sure! it currently has the stock Tamiya trailer doors and a diamond plate would look perfect! thanks!
I will definitely check out auto Glym


So the trailer is coming together real nice. Box is assembled, I stripped the frame , painted the rails and re assembled this weekend. Just starting the testing of all the wiring and so far everything is working perfectly on the first try! Lights! Check, Box up and down! Check!







And then, as I sat looking at the trailer I had an idea??? I like the open wheel look of the tri axle and was happy with it when I suddenly remembered I have a bunch of fenders compliments of a forum member I got months ago and because of Sue's truck having the same style fenders I thought this might look good?








I think I will hook up the truck and trailer tomorrow for a better look but I'm really liking the fender idea. I would mount the fenders to the axles just like her truck and keep them low and tight to the tires.

Please let me know what you think

Mario
