Frame Assembly

The frame has been assembled without too much trouble. I used a few 2x4 sections with wedges along with a laser level to get the whole thing level. A piece of angle iron clamped across the diagonal kept it square as this was happening. The trailer was originally designed to fold, so one of the crossmembers was split into two c-channels and bolted along the rails on both sides. Also, the clevis pins holding the triangular front section on where replaced with bolts and nylocs. The wiring was pretty straighforward as well, although I did run independent grounds to each light after reading about some issues with using the frame as a ground. The only thing to give any bother was the 4-pin connector for the lights; it had a strange flange around it that had to be trimmed off to fit the vehicle connector. All lights appear to function properly.
