I was thinking a come-along would give me more control than the ram. It's also cheaper. The ram costs over $100 for the set I would need. I have a friend with a body shop and maybe her has a frame straightener that would be better.

Pretty close. I am sure the shipping will drive the cost up as well. I might as well buy another one and put them together to make one good one and sell the parts.

Here's a few pix I took today: IN backing it into it's place I bent the tow bar. I think the ring got bound on my hitch and when I changed direction, it bent the flat piece. I tried to bend it with a crow bar but it was too small.

I would suppose the feasibility of a repair would depend on what the trailer cost me. I figure my break even point is with the sale of the wheels and anything after that would be just for fun. I saw a new post today that had a pix of a repair...

Thanks for the fast response. I figure I could sell the wheels for a profit and possibly take the bed off myself and build a lighter bed and that may make the whole thing usable. The wife wanted to build a trailer she could travel around in. If it weighs as much as this one does, it will be a...

Hello experts, I just brought home my first M1101 trailer. I changed the light bulbs and used an adapter for the wiring. I dragged it behind my Jeep Cherokee and going through the mountains was a task! It is much larger than I thought and my Jeep struggled with it going up hill but it was a...
