The license plate is below the bottom of the gas tank on my 1972 Blazer so that is not an option.

Thanks, but I’m trying to use the original factory lighting and not swap to LED. There’s a few kits out there that I could use if I was willing to go with LED lighting but I do not want to on this vehicle. And I apologize for not being clear as my original video shows the use of an LED tail...

I have a 2 Wheel Dr. 1972 Blazer that is getting customized and painted. One of the projects is to hide the fuel fill behind the driver side tail light. There are a few different ways of doing this, but I saw this and would like to know if anyone has any ideas of how to make or repurpose...

I would like to paint the floor but I don’t want it to end up slippery. Any suggestions?

I finished up the Winch mount today. I still need to purchase the winch, the bracket It will mount to and the battery box with battery. The battery box arrives tomorrow. Here are all the nuts welded to the plate on the bottom, so I never have to crawl under the trailer to tighten the nuts or...

I agree the NEC probably doesn’t cover cargo trailers or mobile homes. I have worked in a few mobile homes and the installed electrical leaves a lot to be desired. A one and a half inch deep box has a cubic inch capacity of only 7.5 cubic inches. A one and 1/4 inch box would have even less...

I’m a retired 40 year commercial and industrial electrician. Those boxes may fit and it may work but there’s no way a box that shallow is legal. That’s why I was asking just wondering if you found something with a little more room in it? A 3x2x1.5" box has a volume of 7.5 cubic inches, and you...

I Purchased the quarter inch 12” x 12” plate from a local steel supplier, Turner steel. The angle brackets underneath I had to have a fabricator make for me and it was more than I thought it should be. The receiver tube was a 12 inch tube I purchased and cut 5 inches off the end and welded them...

it is funny the trailer manufacturer tried to talk me into the 7000 pound axles. I asked him why because they are all listed as 9990 pounds to avoid CDL issues. That’s why I decided to go with the 5000 pound axles and I will never be loaded to full capacity. They did make 2 Wheel Dr. blazers I...

5000 pound torsion axles x 2 I don’t plan on putting anything else in the trailer with the blazer but if I had a better tow vehicle why not? The trailer is rated at 9990 pounds.

my trailer is only 20 feet. It is probably a cheaper brand than yours. The manufacturer stated that the weight of the trailer was 3200 pounds. Now Ad the etrack and a few other things let’s round that up to 3500 pounds the rounded up Blazer to 4000 pounds I’m still gonna be between 7500 pounds...

I have always try to get the 10% total weight for the tongue weight. I have a scale to check that but I agree I would do a test drive before driving 1300 miles. 2012 Silverado with a 9400 pound tow rating. Blazer and trailer should be about 7000-7500 total weight. I do have a real nice weight...

Both of my blazers are just about 15 feet long. The trailer is 20 feet long not including the V at the front. Depending on how the tongue weight ends up, I may have to have the Blazers further back than closer to the front. I may even end up pulling them in backwards? When I weld the nuts to...

Do you have any pictures of your flushmounted outlets? The walls on these trailers aren’t very thick I’m not even sure a receptacle without wires would actually fit in the wall thickness?

As I said in a previous post that is just temporary. All the nuts are going to get welded to the plate so I do not have to go under the trailer to install the winch plate.

Are the solar panels permanently attached to the roof? If so, how did you go about that and how did you wrote your wire down?

Battery/battery box is next. And hoping for a sale on the winch and Bracket

This is what I have come up with. and this is what I did under the floor. I will eventually weld the nuts to the bottom plate under the trailer. That way I can install the top plate and remove it without ever having to get back under the trailer.

If you’re serious about buying one of the blazers, I recently considered selling the bronze 4 x 4 rust free blazer. Message me if you’re interested in discussing it the price would be $70,000 firm. I have done a lot to it and it’s reliable but not perfect. Even though the body is Russ tree, the...

Someone posted a link to those boxes earlier in this discussion. I like the idea but it’s not possible on my trailer. There are three framing members coming from the tongue. One of those is in the center, which is where I would want the winch. Even so there’s not enough room on the left or the...
