I had a couple of Warn D rings in my recovery gear so I attached them to the @knuckledeep bumper. How can I cut holes for lights to mount in the bumper?

Look at what came in, within a box, within a box, within a box. Well, I’m glad it was well protected. Thanks for the suggestion @Plumber32 .

Drill a hole and use a saw. Or a 12 gauge with 00 buck shot at 10 feet!

It’s raining right now, thank god! It’s been over two weeks since we had any rain. Very thankful I don’t have to physically water everything. That and I just finished fertilizing everything as well.

You you guys remember the Lowe’s Jobox I installed on the trailer? I waited until yesterday to install the locks. I found it was defective in that the locking bars that come down from the lid were welded 3/4” too far forward. So after discovering this by trying many locks of which none worked, I realized the box was crap. I Took the trailer back down to Lowe’s and one of the managers helped me remove the bolts etc holding it down. We had to Sawsall two of them. Even though I no longer had the receipt and had painted the box gray, they went ahead and exchanged it for a new one. I have this same box on my smaller 500 trailer (green box picture) but it’s welded to the trailer and no hopes of removing it with any ease or without trashing it. So, I have to sand this one then paint it. I am hoping the holes will match and I don’t have to drill new ones. Just more crap to deal with before I leave. Joy of crap we could use a crap emoji....I’ll see how I feel after I get my root canal surgery tomorrow and if it’s not raining, I’ll start sanding painting and mounting this on to the trailer. FORK! I need a toy hauler!
Side note; I did test the new one before bringing it home by installing the locks prior to leaving the store.

I got the Hi-Lift jack mounted on the front of Crunchy. It was on the 500. An easy transfer...doubles as a forward bumper to the bumper. I’m sure some old liberal lady will think it’s an assault weapon.

I see a blue box and I want to paint it green....Well, the surgery went well and when I got home, I mounted the Jobox and the Jerry cans onto the trailer. I repacked the Jobox with all my carp and then got the 1000 loaded. Tomorrow will see it taken for a interstate test drive and most likely I’ll be leaving early Sunday morning. I’m now at 44’ in length.
Side note; I mounted two E Tracks perpendicular to the others so I could mount my ramps securely, plus there’s a coated steel cable running from the box to the ramps to the 1000. So Sunday?
Yes, I said it and buckets of carp meatloaf and squishy between your toes icky essence of evolution. God I’m longing for sights unseen and new horizons.
Has Ye ever thunk that maybe God created Evolution? It makes sense, unlike me...

Yes, I know. Over kill on the straps, but I like to be redundant.

I got my RAM Mounts installed today. One for my IPad and the other for the phone. Thanks @Bad_bowtie for the switch plate! HoundDog helped me get the sound bar installed and then we went riding. It was awesome listening to Devo’s Mongoloid ripping through the forest!

Today I got the dual battery and dual battery kit installed as well as the dual reverse lights. Both of which I purchased from @Hondasxs at the Forum store. I also am buying @Tigermark ’s bumper with the rear lights so I installed that today too. I’m selling the one I won at the Takeover to Hound Dog. I got a 3rd D-Ring for the hitch. I ordered 10 cree rock lights, a 52” light bar and switch panel with switches. @CumminsPusher didnt do anything and deserves no credit whatsoever. Ok, he did everything but the rear bumper...
