Fresh paint, new hitch...

[Tacoma747]

Finally painted the trailer, put a military style pintle hitch on it as well. Someone gave it to me for free so I didn't want to turn it down, especially for the added strength. Put a new jack on the front to that is removable. Had it sandblasted, then I spreyed it with grey primer and a gallon of black Rustoleum, I wish I had a before pic, it looks 10x better now. I also put new taillight boxes on to protect the lights if I ever get a flat again (last time I got a flat it demolished the light).

I like the idea of pop-riveting the license plate to something. Will probably "borrow" that idea. I need to move mine from the back corner where it gets dragged over or backed into everything. Might mount it on the fender like yours - my fender is curved, but still work...

I have to drive over my fenders, and actually drive over a little of the plate. That is why I put the stickers towards the outside of the fender. I have a light pointing on the plate between the main frame and the 3x3 angle on the outside of the stake pockets.

That's the first mod when I got my trailer home! Like many, the plate was "flex" mounted (= ziptied under light) and was destroyed... no issues running there for the past year+ W/O a light...
