I use mine often.
On a dark night with eyes acclimated, the BO light is more than bright enough to drive around and not hit anything.
Even used it on a less traveled county dirt road and it was just fine. Not smart, but fine.
Good luck on finding the gasket by itself.
Probably will have to buy another assembly that has gasket.
Weather striping cut down works in a pinch also.
Had to install a bolt in the surge brake lockout hole.
Haven't received new surge shock yet and needed to use trailer today.
3/8” x 4” Grade 8 bolt and nylon locknut. Longer than needed but worked.
Definitely a difference in stopping without trailer brakes.
It will say DOT 5 on the container.
Most shops won’t have it.
It is more expensive but worth it.
I buy mine on amazon.
It is NOT compatible with others.

The seller is a member here.
Has been great so far.
If they do show up after the replacement set, I will refuse shipment so he gets 4 tires back.
The vendor SS member I tried to buy from initially was more than double the shipping price.
Would not come down a cent on tires or shipping. My...
Tires are officially lost. All 4
FedEx hasn’t a clue where they are.
Trace has been started.
Seller will have to file a claim when required wait time has passed.
Seller is wonderful and is sending another set Friday.
I am past ready to get this thing to the new location.
If anything, just install a solargizer on it.
It doesn’t charge, but maintains a fully charged battery.
Or if close to power, install a battery tender.
NOS GM CUCV headlight harness is available on eBay.
I bought one for a spare. Just FYI in case you need to go that route.
Agree on the grounds.
Physically remove and clean up each one and use electrical grease.
Just looking will do nothing.
Lots of sharp edges up front. Check and follow...
Your wayyy overthinking this!!
As noted, just do the proven and time tested cable from vehicles battery via 7-way plug.
Depending on the unit, you can run the wind generator as you drive.
With that comes high risk of damage from items striking it.
I would just charge it with the 7-way and...
Got to see this in person today as the RT66 convoy stopped close by.
Looks even better in person!
Great layout and attention to detail.
Wife saw it also and was equally impressed.
Now if I could just get him to make me one........hmmmmm!!
