In process of getting our Wildcat ready for a spring break trip with the kids. I have been tinkering with small mods over the WI winter and finally decided to upgrade our pin box from the crappy stock one. Honestly trailer pulls well with my truck but just wanted some additional cushion on the long trips so I settled on the more affordable MorRyde as opposed to the more expensive air options.
Pinbox came in and looks fine and way more heavy duty then the stock box. Here is where my forest river bashing begins. My fiver is exactly one year old and I have already upgraded more then I care to report as well as cleaned up and fixed stuff. I don't mind and most are easy fixes or mods to make us more comfortable and safe on the road.
After pulling the old box out I quickly discovered how crappy the paint was on the box mount bracket. I figured I would touch up the paint and put the new one in. I started to scrape some loose paint and quickly had two sides down to bare metal with only a paint scrapper.
Now two coats of primer and still working on finishing painting the damn mount before I can move on. Is it so hard to ask for a paint job that last more then one year. Kicker is my unit is stored inside all year!
Hopefully the rest goes smoothly although I also have to clean up their crappy pin box wiring as well. Rant Over
