Towing/ Camping /Trailers

[pmccraney]

.... When people (frequently) give me s*** about having 4 kids, I will look them dead in the eye say, "yeah, you're right, its way too many; which one do you think I should kill first." It's always fun to see their reaction.


Nolen kicks us out of the trailer thread in 3,2, 1...

I would have more if I was younger but I want to retire at a decent age. They by a long shot are the best thing to ever happen to me.

 

[wngrog]

That's why I only have one kid. Call me selfish I don't care. Who wants to go to Clayton, OK next month? Yeee haaa!

Saw good pics from there last week. Lots open still

You will never hear me call you selfish. Genius, brilliant, lucky and friend of Jrob maybe but never will I call you selfish.

I'd call him a Mother Trucker...

 

[Bodean]

I've just got this s*** figured out is all

Since @under_psi @pmccraney and @77TLCFJ40 all SUCK BALLS at updating their trailer builds, I'm
Going to post up the pics Louis sent me of his M100

 

[wngrog]

Run PMc is still dicking around with his junk heap.

He's got it in a million pieces.

I started my tailgate today. I suck at welding so I used bolts. I used Land Cruiser tailgate hinges

I'll add latches and a cable to hold it 90 degrees later. I used a sawzall and it's mostly straight. I'm going to get some rubber body trim for the trailer edge to fill in the gap. Sand disc cleaned up the edges.

C channel on the sides give it support. I'm planning on putting cutting board material in the center of the tailgate

I'm pretty happy with it. Got new reflectors and will reinstall the data plate. Rock out.

That's the next thing I need to do with mine. Just been too chicken$#!* to break out the sawzall.

 

[Bossman]

I gotta say... I hate seeing these things cut up. I understand the access issue but a hinged lid seems a better solution to me. The box is roughly 6' long but only about 4' wide. Your trailer so do what you want but I can't see myself ever cutting one. Just my $.02

 

[wngrog]

Yeah. My box is a basket case anyway. Smashed and bent.

The tailgate makes it so much more usable. I hated the hinged lid. You have to empty it out to use the RTT.

I like the additional table I just got too.

 

[Bossman]

Humm. I guess I must have hinged mine differently as I could open it (the hinged lid) quite a ways with the tent deployed. Mine was motorized though. Never should have sold that thing...

 

[wngrog]

Able and being convenient are two different things. I could have lifted it but that's not what I had in mind.

Not sure I would cut a clean tub either. That was one reason I chose this one over Patricks.

 

[BMThiker]

Mine's pretty wrecked too. I got the rolled edge mostly square, but the front panel over the tongue looks like tank ran over it... while on a washboard.

 

[pmccraney]

the innuendo here is that I should not cut my trailer because it's straight (and will be completely restored). I'll see how long I can live without doing it. If it starts to be a pain, I'll cut that bitch like all the purdy 40s on this board.

 

[wngrog]

It's going to be nice.

Gotta figure out a clean latch.

Should finish this up today.

 

[SHUSH]

looks to be pig approved.

 

[wngrog]

I wish I had a cruiser tailgate chain
