Gabe, look what you made me do.

Sweet. Going to make a camping setup out of it?
 
For now I'm just going to clean it up and convert it back to pintle hook. Just have to cut the welded ball mount off.

Plan to use it camping/hunting/general yard duty. Also, hauling spare parts and gear to gsmtr. Also, plan to haul gear to black balsam this year. Not going to do anything fancy.

I'm not really in to making a dedicated "expo" trailer. Too much thought and bling.
 
Main thing is, I can leave all my crap in it and leave my sleeping setup in the truck so I don't have to pack, unpack, repack every day.
 
Teddy... Congrats on the trailer. Hopefully it's in pretty good shape and the conversion back to pintle hitch goes smooth. Can't wait to see it.

@Teddy read my build thread (in my sig) for basic cleanup and sources for parts.
If you keep your gear in it, make sure everything is in Pelican cases, because even if covered with a tarp it will develop moisture inside.
 
Yeah Rick, I read it. I've seen it in person and it's super nice. I'm not planning anything fancy with this one any time soon. Just a basic clean up. I actually got a little work done tonight.

Got the jerry rigged 2 inch ball hitch off, whoever welded it on was good. Took 5 cutting wheels on my angle grinder, a chisel, and a 5 pound hammer.

Then I ground all the weld off and smoothed it out. Hit it with a little Rustoleum for the time being.

Then I got my man a fre hitch swapped out for a pintle.

As a side note, anyone in the market for a man a fre/4+ 2 inch receiver hitch with a standard pintle bolt pattern? I
 
Saw a nice red 60/62 toy coming back from the flea market.
 
Got a couple wheel nuts not wanting to come off. Half way there then pics
 
Done! Ride is scary as hell though. Got a steering stabilizer coming in tomorrow.
