The treadplate steel is a little weathered and worn. I actually had to put the K20 in 4x4 mode to back up on there. I guess I need the no spin and tires newer than 12 years old! I was thinking I could get some wet paint on there and sprinkle some fine sand on there.

Congrats on the new trailer.Looks great.
Thanks, I just fixed the stripped jack and the tight, missing a spring coupler on it, so liking it better now. Now on to the wiring fixes and winch repair.

Once you get the K20 storage and transfer lot set up, I will make some runs out there These older 4x4's sell well here in the rustbelt.
