I could use some AGM batteries, IN.

Fairly clean, watch the wood for long term rot and short term water damage. In the long run, get rid of the wood and use a chunk of aluminum. A single wheel spacer between 1 and 2 inches thick should give you the needed support and sizing to replace the plywood.

Easy, they were thinking...................................... you don't need to remove these to paint them. Clean them up and hit them with some black epoxy paint. Let them dry and then bed line it.

I'm fairly certain you can swap the outer drum assembly to six lug. As backing plates and drums interchange with the regular 6000/7000lb axle stuff. The backing plates can be swapped to electric with or without parking brakes. Standard Dexter axle stuff.

Just tape them off. I'd go with the entire round part so that the liner is just over the hold down circle, making it drain easier.

The wood is cut to length, it fits under the aluminum top lip of the trailer. Gravity holds it. Interesting idea, but I don't like how soft the aluminum is and any major weight will bend the lip. I can easily flex it with just finger pressure.

Are you going to add receivers to the outside ends of the bumper to allow the stabilizer legs to continue to be used? Ah, never mind. You kept them behind the bumper.

Holy popo, your right. Once he flips it back to the correct side he can see just how much better it is already. It was probably behind a duce or 5 ton, and some mil mechanic thought it would best to flip the ring.

I've already painted my rims in black. Looks good. I also plan to mount the spare for it under the rear of the trailer bed. Since I'm only running 265/75R16 tires it will fit behind the axle and in front of the rear marker lights no problem. I'll either go fixed or try to find a decent priced...

You can do several things to get better towing height/hitch set-up. #1 in my opinion is changing to regular truck rims and tires. A set of dodge or chevy 8 lugs and some 265/75R16 tires will bring it down a bunch and still maintain great ground clearance. #2 is change the trailer hitch. Several...

You do know that you can do a tire change without a jack? Lower the hitch way down, install the rear supports to the highest current point, and start winding up the front jack. Both tires off the ground without needing a separate jack.

Thank you sir! Sent from my now working home computer.

It's a PITA using my phone only to access here. I can't see why my phone works but my home computer won't.

I'm getting a 503 error when I try to acces the forum from my home computer. I'm stuck trying to access it with my phone, any one able to help me?

You could probably just add matching side windows and you'd be good to go.
