My BAT is in the shop

Getting the bumper fixed where the bolts had failed and the metal piece was bending and making a gap.
This local guy will also pull the wheels and repack the bearing and fix some of the fender and running board pieces where they had failed.   

I'm an idiot.  The guy that fixed my pickup trailer plugs did not have the in box connection right.  I must have noticed no brake lights with that plug last fall and just plugged the trailer into the bumper plug.  But I forgot that and the mis-wiring was such that the brakes were engaging when I was backing up.  I didn't think about it being the brakes when I went to take the trailer to the shop and just put in 4WD low and forced it back.   Hope I didn't damage too much.   He caught it right away when I went to back it up at his place.    

Now I can at least haul the horse and camp.   I should find someone to fix the LQ, it has a leaking water hose and the floor boards rotted because I didn't catch the leak. but I can rough it with the plywood over the soft spot and not using the water tank.
