New wheels and LED lights on the trailer.

[RFoster130]

The previous owner majorly neglected the trailer that came with my boat. I have been trying to rebuild it. I swapped out the coupler and jack a few weeks ago. I also redid the whole wire harness and added all LED lights. I used all clear lenses. I think they turned out awesome. Then on a trip 4 hours away a few weeks ago, I developed a major vibration that pulled the wires out of 2 of the brand new lights and beat the boat up kinda bad. So, today I replaced the hubs and bearings and installed new wheels and tires. Here are some pics of all the work.

Very bright lights even during daylight.

Looks great, I am contemplating weather or not to do some LED's on my trailer. Do you have to rewire the whole trailer for the LED's?

 

[RFoster130]

If your wiring is good, no you dont have to. I had to because my old wires were all rusted through the insulation and melted in a few spots. It was well worth the 10 bucks knowing everything is all new now. The existing wire can handle the LED's fine. In fact, LED's use less power. It cost me like 100 bucks to redo all the wiring and lights. Not a bad deal at all and it looks great.

Looks great!

I will switch to LED's when my existing lights go.

I love my led lights on my trailer.. It gives me that extra insurance of knowing people see the lights better and wont crash into my jetski while coming home at night from the water...

Custom Wheels

Hey man i got my new wheels! I really like them!! what do you think!

 

[RFoster130]

They look great. Think they would look better on my black trailer. I'll trade ya..lol

You need to get those new decals. Would look sharp on your yellow boat.

 

[tresvatos1]

Yeah I need the decals bad! I think my trailer wheels would look good with the wheels you have on your truck

I ordered those trailer landing lights that come on when you back in the water... supposed to help guide you to the trailer at night...I'm sure they will be a pain to run the wires thru the trailer framing tho..

 

[RFoster130]

sounds cool but i would be worried about having to have the lights plugged in while backing into the water. I always unplug mine. i had to totally rewire my trailer, it wasnt too bad snaking the wires through the trailer.

runway lights

got the runway lights on.. they come on with a float switch once you back into the water...the wake boats back up and launch with the lights plugged in, so I don't think it will hurt anything..if anything just blow a fuse..

 

[RFoster130]

That looks good.

What thats so cool.. Where did you get that.. Also RFoster130 where did you buy those rear lights on your boat.. I'm working on a boat trailer and want something like those.

Ebay, thats where I buy 99% of the mod stuff. Place called R&P Carriages. They were the cheapest. Greg, (Tresvatos) is the one who referred me.
