Hey Zeppe807, your taillights are obstructed and probably would be worse with a full load. I have see extensions like yours where taillights were added to the extension. Shouldn't be difficult. Your project is absolutely amazing. Nice work.

The bumper is kick but , but it looks like the rear stabizer jacks are too far back . if you bottom out on a drive or a speed bump your gonna loose them or mangle them . Judging on the skids that are pictured its bottomed out a few times already

yeah they are out a bit farther than stock, i thought it would make them more stable.. i see what you're saying, I personally have never skidded the bottom of the trailer, must have been done before me, i always watch my approach angles and check my route before i go, so it's not a huge deal for me, with the additional length, i would assume the hitch would hit before the stabilizers, i might throw some skids or casters on right beside the stabs, thanks for pointing it out.

Added a DC Volt Meter and 12 volt charging outlet. Keystone cheapened out and did not install any 12 volt outlets? I was going to install a USB outlet but don't want the parasitic draw when dry camping. Here are some pics.

Good idea. I may have to revisit that as I already bought it...

I was referring to stabilizers @ the rear bumper

They are in the stock location, and the metal hoops have been used (my driveway is pretty steep), but I have never hit the jack. I have been forced to take a detour and I have had the spare tire and metal hoops, hit the ground and actually stop forward movement (I was going slow), but it took a lot to pull off the bump. The jacks were not moved when I built the bumper and rack.

Funny thing was, I did reset the load after that picture of the wagon was taken for that reason.

I have a generator box planned to add to the rack, and it will completely block one of the lights.
