What did you do with your trailer this weekend?

Took it camping on a couple of quick local trips. First to Davy Crockett National Forest with my son and then headed North to Oklahoma Choctaw Nation. Too short a trip but overall a nice time.

Wrapped up by COVID trailer upgrades with this new Wavian gas can. Added tire carrier rack, with axe and shovel mount, gas can holder, a light, and power. All that was left was the gas can. Finally was available online after months of COVID delay so I jumped on it. Pulling this thing with my thirsty 60 series, it will be nice to know I have extra fuel in tow. Done with the trailer (for now ;)).

Repairing damage from our little off-roading mishap a few weeks ago. New jacks and a 2.5" axle lift. The lift actually netted close to 4" of clearance at the rear bumper and the trailer is a lot closer to level now. Picture doesn't quite do it justice. Looks like I have room to up the tire size several inches now. That should get it to pretty much level and I'll be good with that.

I had it custom made from an outfit called OD Cloth. They make reproduction cloth tarps for WWII army vehicles. I had it done in vinyl instead of canvas as would be proper for the period. This is a husband and wife outfit I believe and everything is custom made. Its by far one of the highest quality bits of the trailer and fits perfectly with the tarp bows I made for the trailer. Came with tarp ropes. Can't say enough good things about the tarp. Group was great to work with. Their website is really dated though. Something out of 1995 so its a little confusing to purchase off their website. I think I had to call them to get this done over the phone as they didn't have a specific Bantam T3-C tarp listed. I could be remembering that wrong. I am pretty sure they can make you whatever you need but they specialize in WWII tarps for various military vehicles. If you have a different type of trailer not of this era then this might not be for you. Here is a link to their site:

Definitely appreciate the info. I may give them a call even though my trailer is a 1968 M101A1 and I have seriously modded the bows etc.

thanks again Sir!
 
Repairs in the works.
I bent my 3500lb axle, so a new 6000lb axle with brakes will be going on.
Also refinishing the box and making some changes, larger side door, new rear door and I will be adding my RTT

An all too short offroad getaway this weekend with the spressoWAGON and the Escape in tow to enjoy perfect spring weather out in the middle of nowhere.

And, yes, espressos were made :bounce:

Fiberglass top & bottom + OME 60-Series leaf conversion (ala Jason aka @TRAIL TAILOR) with Bilsteins + other mods and have had zero issues…

Everything under the “huh?” Was the answer to my question.
