Definitely keep the lunette. Other than a little bit of noise, there is no negative to it.
I like your simple rear stabilizers. Any reason you are keeping the original front landing leg?
How does that tarp hold up to TX freeway speeds? I thought I had a good set up but I was proven wrong at...
Tarps arrived from mytarp.com. Need to play around with how to rig them but they look good so far. Ended up getting a large tarp to cover the entire trailer :) and smaller ones for just the sides and rear if a quick set up is needed. I plan to make some awning legs that attache directly to...
The stock pins and cables were a no go in my book. At highway speeds the chains would beat up the trailer and slowly work the pins out. Of course there was no option for holding the tailgate level.
My goals were to:
- Have the tailgate cable and pins separate so there would be no chance of...
Nice restoration. I went black on my trailer as well.
Most of the work was done in my drive and the neighbors enjoyed watching and seeing the progress. Once it is complete I will probably park it on the street so all of the curious people can take a closer look.
Mark, your build is an inspiration to many. I plan to cover the top only. I made some awning stakes and plan to use the rack to attach tarps off the sides/rear.
Thank you. I look forward to seeing your build.
Well, counting the stuff I sold/scrapped off the trailer it really only cost me $150.....
The welder was a bit more than $500..... Also had to buy a new grinder that would accept the razor disks I used to make the stakes. I do have a very...
What do you need the serial number for? You don't need one to get a plate for it.
How does that CRV pull it? How is the receiver mounted to the CRV. We have one and I have been wanting to add a hitch (non plans to pull my 101 with it though :))
Made a little more progress.
Took 14 cans to paint everything I could reach with a rattle can. Flat black is a very forgiving paint :)
Hopefully I will finish the rack this week. Plan is to make it pretty modular so I can add/swap out side panel. For now, I mostly want it for supporting...
Well, finally got around to making the 4 stakes I wanted. Material used was .120 wall 2"x2" tubing. Hopefully I will finish the "bow" parts this week. Took one razor disk per stake and a lot longer than I expected it would to cut and fit each stake. I am glad I went with the .120 wall over...
