The same trailer WE started with until some clown ran over it (yes I said ran over it) while we were at Strawberry. Over by Ladders with tons of people shore fishing but, of course no one saw anything.
Anyway, the truck wiped out the back corner of the trailer bending several of the bars out of use again.
Mojo took it to work and had a new frame welded. All that was left was the axle and the leaf springs, whole new flat bed that now rides OVER the wheels instead of between.
We also have the smaller trailer that I am going to modify which is where I think Albino got the idea for the Thule. BUT, heres a kicker, we have used our trailer allot and put many miles on it.
This last trip out with you Zak, about 3 blocks from home, the drivers side leaf finally broke in half. We scrounged for garbage on the side of the road and I found an old speaker the worked to lift the bed up so the wheel could turn. Made it home and wiped the sweat from our forehead thinking about all the miles we have put on this trailer plus towing it behind our camping trailer, and it picks 3 blocks from home to break.
Anyway, I took the leafs off the little trailer for now, and here is the kicker, the leaf springs on the little trailer are three heavy duty, the leafs on the one in the picture, two?! Figure that one out.
