Well the wiring for the trailer lights are done. Every connection is soldered

Including these? The biggest question is why not all pictures on one post................

Yes I soldered all the wire ends before crimping the eyes on. I didn’t realize that I could post more than one picture at a time. Not the best with this stuff lol.

Maiden voyage. Trailer was loaded with firewood before stacking 10 posts and 65 1x6s on top. It handled the weight awesome.

Still need to come up with a name for the trailer.

Here's a simple trick I do when it comes to grounds on a trailer. I get some stainless steel 1/4" bolts and drill a hole in the steel where a ground is needed. push the bolt through the hole and weld the head. The threads will be on the other side of the steel so they aren't going to get damaged by welding. Now you have a stud to bolt your grounds to that will never loose contact with the steel frame or rust. The weld isn't stainless but as long as you paint the weld (like all the rest of the trailer) it'll last. Just don't paint the stainless threads.

So those crimp on terminals must be steel then to solder? the ones I have aluminum, I thought that was all there was.
