so , few people have heard about my not so more wonderful trailer. i call it "racing trailer" its green, old, looks like crap, but its lived a long life.
it has over 2 million miles on it. 30+ years old. been allover the country, on and off road. been air born more times than i care to count. so when she needed leaf springs, tires, wheels , bearings etc... i gave her the best.

she had been sitting for about 7 months. full of cinder block from a job that got cancelled, and well i had another trailer. and maybe soon ill have work i can use the block on. well never that happened. so i off loaded the block. and drove from socal to las vegas for work. took the long unpaved way like i always due. cause i hate the 15 freeway. loaded it on friday and drove to my cabin with fire wood, the same way.
got pulled over for the tail light i broke when i dropped some wood on it. no ticket, but a good laugh with the park ranger in the mojave preserve.

so i unload her on saturday, and head off to get lunch and go to the real home,
got about 300 yards turning in a sandy road by my cabin. and the trailer flies in the air and pulls to the right. then the left. i slam on my breaks to figure what the heck is going on.

being excited . i forgot to check and retighten the ubolts on my trailer. i put new leafs on there 9 months ago. OOPS!!

bent axel. tweaked the leaf packs. owell. i`ll have her new in a month or so!

 

I kinda got one of those trailers. But in my case it's just the same steel frame and axles. I've added metal to it and taken away from it through the years to make whatever kind a trailer I'm needin at the moment. It started out as a horse trailer, then I extended it out longer and it was a flatbed hay trailer, then I shortened it back up and mounted a tank on it and made it a water trailer, then I pulled the tank and put side boards on it to haul rock with, I think it's next life is gonna be as a tandem axle car dolly. At least that's what I'm thinkin for now anyway.

 

Queeg why you put the old gal out to pasture and get a new one? You're gonna spend more on it than it's worth and it still may break down again.
