Today, one pallet of ECO Bricks. (2000lbs) Plus a few hundred of other misc stuff.
This week, I have mostly been putting logs in my trailer

Rub-a-dub-dub,
Four men in a tub,
And how do you think they got there?
Now THAT is impressive!
Pardon the newbie here, but what kind of trailer is that, and what's the weight capacity? Any trouble towing that much?
I just towed an old W123 Merc 400km (close to 5,000 pounds, loaded with tires rims etc) with my 1987 Cruiser, but I don't think I would be able to pull that much lumber, much less off road by the looks of it!!
I know that my old Astro van, with tow package and all that used to struggle towing my 4x8 trailer loaded with firewood just two rows high. Yours is really stacked!

M101a (USA) 1500lbs offroad and 2200 HWY is the listed capacity. But I exceed that regularly. Its a heavy pig 1325lbs empty. My 80 struggles with it at HWY speed here in the mountains. But for the occasional heavy payload its great. Prevents me for having to own a pickup.
Going for another firewood run today to finish stocking up for the winter in my shop. Also use it for camping and haul extra fuel, beer, and the odd rocks for trail maintenence. I don't use it a lot, but when I do, it sure comes in handy.
Busy week coming up...new main bathroom going in.
So today started out with a trip to Bassett to pick up a new chair over in Conn.
Then to the Depot for the vanity that was on order, and the cast iron tub before dinner.....
Tomorrow is a trip to the tile store, because that's in as well..
and here we go....1400# of tile, wishing I had a brake axle...defintely in the spring

titanpat, who makes the front box on your trailer?
It comes with the M116A2's as a package with the generator...holds all sorts of goodies...tiedowns, some tools and rope, and a few treehuggers if you slice them thin enough...
Here it is in the original configuration. It originally had feet that I cut off...it's made out of aluminum.

Every M116 I've seen is missing that box.

not a military trailer per se
it was designed after a military trailer and is what I believe to be a Ben-Hur 22-47
bought it a week and a half ago looking like this
then by Friday of last week it looked like this and I was putting it to use

yeah, pretty much the same thing as a David Bradley, except for the fenders
still in pretty rough shape but it is a decent "50 footer" now
Just got back from a week of winter camping. Trailer acted as a gear hauler, cook top, and ice-chest.
What the hell is your name, Jeramiah Johnson!!!!!
Far better man than I. I went to Pismo Beach three weeks ago, 38 degrees right off the ocean, wind blowing 40 plus miles an hour and rain, sleat and hail. I had enough in about three minutes. Stayed the weekend, but if I had been sleeping in a tent that sucker would never have been put up.
Great pictures!!!!!!!! If your a penguin!!!!!
Just WOW!!!!!
