It was a joke. Ma is Mass

He's from KY. Clearly stated

I use mine for everything. But in the winter I will fill it with fire wood stacked and leave it in the driveway, with gas being so cheap right now, I may not burn much firewood this winter. I have a little "build page" that is fairly up to date. If I haven't put the webbing pictures on it then I...

I put three straps of webbing with snaps under the front bow and rear bow pulled tight on my m105 and have only one spot that puddles a tiny bit before it dumps over the edge. Reason I didn't do plywood was because it's longer than 8' on a m105. Plus it makes it super easy to remove if I want...

Thanks. It's actually easier to stand the tire up and roll it on it tread than it is to try to drag it when it's laying on its side on the ground under the trailer. We use the trailer for everything (utility, fire wood, camping, travel) because we have small children and my sister-in-law does as...

tough to see in the daytime pictures because i can't make them larger for some reason but they are on. obviously the reverse lights i installed on my truck are brighter and spread more light but i needed something on the trailer and i think this fits it really nicely. cheap LED strips from...

New reverse lights. I think they will be bright enough. I also installed snaps on the bottom of the bows and ran webbing tightly across the tops to keep the canvas from sagging so bad between them and holding water. We'll see how well it works. OK, I'm on my phone and can't post...

I would have gone gray on the trailer to look killer with the van but nice job on it. That van is awesome too

Thanks for the compliment. I'm aware about load placement to keep wander away but with this trailer, I've never seen it. I loaded it with a thousand pound Marine engine tight up against the tailgate and nothing else in the bed and she tracked perfect. I've also put a couple thousand pounds of...

If I give up the handbrakes, I could put larger ammo cans on it for larger storage...and I could save about $400 on the cost of the axle.

The only problem is that I enjoy the hand brakes and to get a Dexter with emergency brakes capable, it costs a fortune.

although my fuel mileage suffers some, my truck pulls and stops it really well. i have upgraded my brakes but i feel stock brakes should do the trick nicely as well. if i'm loaded heavy, i leave plenty of room and plan accordingly but i have never thought (yet) i'm not going to stop. i do have...

Here's what the modified cover looks like with just the top bows into the stake pockets and snaps I stalled all the way around. They are stainless snaps from my boat canvas so they won't bleed onto the white paint. Strong enough to hold my little dinghy easily. My wife hates to admit that this...

I also welded 2-2.5 x 1/4" sleeves to the front and a 2x2 1/4" block to the Jack so it can be stored out of the way and tight against a support under the trailer to prevent rattles and relocated to the tongue for lifting. Works great. the pictures of the jack leg are from before i drilled the...

Not sure if I posted this here or just on the facebook sites. I needed a way to carry a spare outside of the bed and didn't lime the idea of lowering a tire to the group d, then dragging g it out from u see the trailer then lifting it up to change it. This is much easier. The reason it is so...
