Yep, that's what I was worried about as well. but after reading all the threads in the GL area, I am more confident that you will be fine. Looks like there are enough of them out there, that if your handle is gone it might be replaceable. I agree, after looking at lots of pics, it looks like...

Thanks all

I'm sure a SS member can chime in and answer this one fast, But what is the red tag on the equipment. Just ID numbers or is it more significant? Thanks BVDL

Funny thing, I'm sure you can relate, whenever I get passed by LEO with military equipment I just get a wave and a smile. There are so many other crazy things happening on the 15 in between Barstow and your home, that I imagine you are the last thing the CHP has to worry about. I'm just north...

You should have no problem with this. They really don't enforce this rule, and if you are questioned, you were just getting the trailer road worthy for your inspection. I'm sure It wont even be an issue.

So I am fortunate enough to fly a Cessna 210 when I can afford the fuel. Its a relatively small single engine high wing airplane. I still have a hard time judging how far away objects are from the wing tips when I am taxiing to the runway. I'm usually not moving faster than 10MPH and don't have...

Pics look great. I would love to see those in a write up. Nice work.

Congrats on your new toy, and welcome to the Forum. Once you pick up, get your EUC and have the registration done, I would love to hear how the whole experience went for you. I have read so many horror stories about that process that I was looking at a private party to buy a trailer from. But...

Wish I could afford to go shooting right now. Prices are through the roof. Have fun though, the weather is just right up here.

Any idea what part number the correct length is? Mine was too short also.

Yep its tube steel. Thin though, like 16ga. It is probably 80 pounds. I decided it was cheaper to buy a used one rather than fab one myself. It has created lots of room in the back. I mostly use mine for bird hunting, and the dogs are very happy with the space back there now.

And a couple more...

The shells are easily available if you do screw it up. I just used a bunch of black silicone sealant all around the bolts and feet. No leaks to speak of. In fact there are three inches of snow sitting on the roof of the 09 right now. Seems like lots of other folks have done this kind of...

Well so far mine will take me (190lbs) two full jerry cans, the rack, and a big BFG tire. No signs of damage yet.

I originally had the spare tire strapped to the top with ratcheting tie downs. But it still allowed some movement of the tire, and I couldn't live with that. I bought 5 new BFGs 31x10.50-15 and figured now would be a good time to secure the spare a little better. SO... Amazon for a trailer...

I found it on craigslist. Some guy had fabbed it for his K5. Here is my original write up on the rack. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?82322-Finally-got-the-Roof-Rack-M1009

Welded a spare tire mount (meant for a boat trailer) to the top of the rack. Then threw the new 33x12.50-15 BFG AT spare up on top. Now I just need a vinyl cover to keep the sun off the spare.

Such a cool build, Subscribed.

Any chance you have a wide shot? One that shows the whole back end.
