I forgot how much each part cost as i spent almost 1000$ on the gear driven pump,the hose real, heavy duty triggers,extentions, and some odd parts. I don`t think the valve itself cost over 75$ but i`ll check to be sure.

    I`ll get a pic up tomorrow after I install it on the trailer. It`s been raining all day today, so I couldn`t do a thing. I was hoping to have the trailer 90% done today, but stuff happens.
    Since it was raining, I decided to take an hour trip to the Pep Boys, and picked one of these up for $60 on sale. 10x10 easy up

    Wow!. thats one hell of a deal. I`ve got a easy up also, 12x12 cost me $120 at sports authority. They really do come in handy on them hot days. I`m always using mine in the back yard for weekend BBQ`s :drunk:

    Pep boys had the 12x12 on sale for $79.98. I shoulda picked that up instead, but oh well. I sure wish they built a pepboys closer.

    Re: My Trailer

    Well, today was finally decent outside, so I decided to work on the trailer some more. I had the pressure washer off aff the frame already, so I positioned it on the trailer and proceeded to bolt it down.....The bolts that held it to the metal frame was too short. and they had the rubber bushing molded to the bolt. I had to go to Lowes and get some washers, lock washers, locking nuts, and longer bolts. Had to get some rubber bump stops, drill a hole down the middle, and put washers on each side to make new bushings.
    Also got the tank strapped down, finally. I had it lifted with 4x4`s , but decided to lift it 2 more inches. I cut 2x4`s to match the 4x4`s I had already screwed down, and screwed the 2by to it.....get it?

    I picked up the wrong connector at Lowes, to connect the water tank to the washer, so that will have to wait til tomorrow. I did hook it up to the garden hose, just to test out the washer....good to go......no water dripping from anywhere. Tomorrow, I will fill the tank and hook the PW to it. Want to see how gravity feed will do. I`m also going to mount my pressure washer hose reel to the wheel fender. Just to free up some room.

    I took 4 trips to Lowes, and 2 to Wal-Mart.....I hate when nothing goes to plan.......too many trips for little things....

    Hey TB, Good luck with the set up. Looks like you put alot of thought into it. How do you think the TB will do pulling the trailer? Just asking B/C I also have a TB.

    Thanks!
    Truck does good pulling it. Cannot tell it is there most of the times. When the tank is empty, and going over bumps, the trailer tends to dance around

    Looks like you have quite the set up.
    If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you can read this in English, thank a soldier.
