I guess I know nothing about facebook.
I went to your link, but see nothing about a trailer.

Ok the trailer continues to change! A roof top tent, a new tool box, a side access hatch.
It now has onboard water 18 gallons, a battery- solar charger- inverter, 48 inch long drawers that slide out, A large custom cargo basket. Getting ready to change out hubs and put 35's on the trailer too.

I now have about 2100 into it, and a couple winters of building. Now it is becoming more set for just two of us...

Yep the color is ... Well... Really.... Um.... A rattle can polish off the paint sort of thing. You never really know if you got it clean, or when it got dirty. It um... Looks messed up all the time.... But it is easy to cover scratches or chips. It has a lot of scrap prices of things on many colors that created it... So I must agree that it is quite ugly!
