[QUOTE="daniel_loz, post: 93074, member: 1703"] Yes I know the trailer needs lights and a tag. I dont know how to add them to this trailer though since it seems to be missing the small wings (for lack of a better term) that would normally accomadate trailer lights. Are there bolt-on light mounts available? I was going to try and fab some high mount PVC ones that would double as guide-ons, but was unsure how people that have them are grounding the lights. The bunks seem way too long to me - whats the average bunk length necessary with a 14 ft flat bottom jon? I have already stripped the old bunks off and removed that front crossmember that was fabbed up and bolted to the trailer. I planned to cut new bunks tomorrow to the correct length using non PT 2x4s. I also need to source whatever bracketry or mount is necessary to bolt the short bow stop bunk above the winch. Any ideas where parts like the light mounts or that bow stop bunk mount can be found? Im sort of stuck as far as making progress until I can find these parts. Im currently working to wire brush all the rust off of the axle and leafs. [/QUOTE]
