    Nice set up. Be careful with the trailer brakes. Have seen alot of rollovers and such because of faulty trailer brakes. How big are the axels? 3500 pound? Couldnt really tell from the pic.

    Either way, nice set up! Hopefully that makes you a lot of money!

    Roger that! I just rewired them. The previous owner had a 4 pin setup running no brakes at all! He was convinced that because his truck was a 3/4 ton he would be able to stop his load. I purchased a reputable brake controller as well and installed all new lighting. Safety first! Even the biggest load isnt worth squat if you dont make it to the yard. The axles are 3500 lbs each.
