Even better: TRUCK-LITE STOP TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY 10V-30V HUMMER TRUCK OR TRAILER 35 UNITS | eBay
The guy selling these is a flake though, so pay attention to your order. I made two individual orders about a week apart, neither one had the right, or even a valid, tracking number. The first...
Went to the freight terminal to pick up my MEP802A auction inadvertent win. The trailer pulled great behind the hemi jeep. I admit to being a little nervous - it's not the heaviest load I've had in there, but the longest distance to travel with a heavy load. I was about 45 mins from home...
I was just down in Oly last Wednesday to pick up a paint sprayer I won off ironplanet. I had an appointment in Taco so I drove around thru Shelton from Kitsap. I walked into the rental place that had auctioned off the stuff to pick it up and they look confused, shuffled their papers, and tell me...
I just realized you're in WA.
I registered mine at one of the local strip-mall licensing centers and they never even asked about an inspection. I walked in, paid the $, and walked out with a small license plate.
Years later it still doesn't have a light on the plate.
Also, ask your buddy if...
Bolted to the deck? Weird.
They seem to sell for much more than I would be willing to pay- but fortunately my M1101 came with a set, which are locked inside unless I'm using the trailer. Check ebay for going rates, but someone that ended up with a trailer and didn't get the legs will want them.
My first M1101 was pristine, unused, except for one small dent where someone backed into it.
This one has a few dents and dings, scratches, and saw limited use before the auction. It's a 20' good looking trailer. ;)
It gets used, maybe not as often as some, but I don't have (or want) a...
The custom tarp finally arrived. Very happy with the fit. The back of the tarp comes down just over the top of the tailgate and you can see the other sides.
I had to add some loops for the 550 cord. Fortunately all the loops and screws/washers/bolts were stuff I had on hand, so no run to the...
Yikes that coulda got ugly, glad you're ok!
My full weight on the tailgate of my M1101 won't do anything, but that can make me complacent. Thanks for the reminder!
UPDATE:
Tailgate panel is finished and slides in and out perfect- not so tight it's tough to get it lined up, and not so loose it flops around. It seems highly doubtful that it could wiggle its way out of the slot straight up and come off, but to be sure I needed some way to hold it down...
Finished the other corner after work tonight. Everything went smoothly except right at the beginning when removing the side uprights one of the rivnuts started spinning 😡 fortunately it was one of the ones I can get to the nut side and clamped some vice grips on to hold it.
I'm out of...
I gave the brackets a try but they're not going to work.
The socket in the corner is about the same width as the thickness of the wood, so I started poking around in the garage at the stuff I already have, and found this angle steel from a previous (non-trailer) project. I took the side panel...
Interesting. I have a set of those I picked up at Tractor Supply and was planning to return them. I was looking at an external mounting but that wasn't going to work because of the bow sockets (can't run bolts into the sockets or the bows won't drop in). I'll have to play around with them...
Yes, I can be verbose.... Maybe my question got lost in all the text. :unsure:
I need some ideas for the back panel. I want it to be easy-on and easy-off.
I looked at some stake-side corner brackets but they won't work with the uprights.
The only other idea I've come up with is to take...
