Here is the trailer when I pulled it home with a pintle receiver hitch and magnetic lights.
first thing I did was scuff up the paint on the top and added some bedliner because I knew it would be slick whenever it got wet. I also did something that some might not agree with... I cut off the pintle and welded on a 15k rated adjustable ball coupler.
Here it is after painting the trailer Rustolium "sand"
Then I sorted out the light wiring and added some more clearance lights to make the DOT happy. During this time I also added and electric over hydraulic braking system with a trailer brake away kit.
Here is is with the added lights and some DOT tape.
Here is a picture to show how it looks behind the truck
The only thing left now is to figure out some ramps and get a license plate for it. Hopefully this will help a few people since I found a few people asking about pulling these with pick up trucks when I was looking at getting one and there wasn't a whole lot of info on the subject.
