Hey all

New to the site, and want to share my girlfriend's and I new trailer.  We bought a 2006 Miley 2H SL we found on the side of the road for 4900.00.  It had only been used a handful of times and still smells new.  We are moving to Lampe, MO (on Table Rock Lake), near Branson, MO, from Southern California in April.  We will be carrying a three year old Arabian with us. 

I like LED lights so I updated all the lights on the trailer to new LED S/T/T and also a LED S/T/T/DOT bar on the rear.  The DOT bar functions as the three DOT running lights for the rear, but when brake lights are activated, the whole bar lights up, acting as a third hi-mount brake light.  As when a left or right turn signal is on, that side of the bar flashes.  I wanted to install that incase of tail-gaters, people behind the car behind me can see if my brake lights or turn signal is on, instead of who ever is behind me blocking my intentions. I plan on adding reverse lights as well as load lights to the rear, which will function as reverse lights when shifted in reverse, but also hooked up to the hot feed from the interior lights on a switch so the can function as load lights.

The rear S/T/T are clear LED lights, all the amber and red marker lights have been switched to clear with colored LEDs and the Amber/Red marker light has been switched to LED but with colored lens as I can not find a clear lensed one.  I plan on adding two more S/T/T LED lights lower on the side of the trailer, just need to drill and mount.

Here are some photos:

LED Lights on the LEFT, Sealed Beam on the RIGHT:

Both sides installed, running lights on:

Brake lights and marker lights on:

Running lights, with DOT/STT bar installed - we kept the two marker lights on the side of the bar installed, it fit perfect in-between and I did not want to mess with covering holes from the removes lights:

Brake Lights with DOT/STT and LED STT:

LEFT Turn signal on with DOT/STT Bar activated:

I still need to install another set of STT turn lights lower on the trailer, as well as reverse lights.

For reverse lights I may just go with a flood type light that will double as a moveable load light.  As well as Oval grommet type seal beam lights that will mount on the sides, the one in the photo below will mount to the to top area.

Congrats PTRJason, looks good. LED make a hell of a difference!

Anyone know where to get spare tires?  Ours did not come with one, and before I take the long trip, I want to have a spare.  I think I will get one and a rim when I am at the local tire place when I have all new tires and the tune up done on my truck.

How much to spares, rim and tire, usually go for?

Hey all, I made the trip to Missouri. LONG DRIVE with a horse trailer, I took it nice and slow, even 18 wheelers were passing me. On the final leg I was a little more comfortable was kept up with the big trucks. I like the new LEDs I put on, at one point my Fiance got two, not one but TWO flat tires, even before 350 miles into the trip. Got one in Victorville, CA, and she got another, different tire 20 miles out side of Kingman. Since we used the spare, I had to call a tow.

This happened about 3 in the morning and she drives a Grand Marque, looks like a cop car. So at one point she was in my truck listening to the CB, and I was with the tow driver, one passing simi driver said that a Polar Bear (white cop car) was being towed. Another said it was a regualr car, but the driver who said it was a bear sad that she could not see anything past the trailer lights becasue they were so bright, just the look I was going for 12 53 Other than that it was a easy drive except for snow in NM.

At least the long drive back from MO was easy, and I was empty and not towing anything. I love MO and can not wait to move my stuff out there in May. It's so green and nice, not like smoggy CA. I drove from 8pm CST Wed to 11pm PST Thurs. Straight through, it was a LONG drive.
