OK-here
we go. The Glorified Chuck Wagon
project! I’ve wanted something
I could pull behind the Jeep or the Suburban when I go on these trips of
mine. So this is stage one of a
trailer buildup to pull my camping gear when the distance is to far, or the road is to rough for the travel
trailer. With gas prices going up, I
figured this might ease the pain of my traveling. The trailer-an old boat trailer
from our wonderful old boat that sunk a few years ago!
The
first step: remove the rear!
Then
strip the rest of it down.
Then
I get the great idea of reversing the axle to give it more clearance.
The
bolts and spring are actually in very good shape, so they will stay after a
cleanup. Next,
I had to crib the trailer to get the axle back underneath. I didn’t have cribbing to go that
high, but I got it done. I did this by
myself; why I do these things I will never know. But, I’ve lived this far
Here it is with the axle reversed.
I get 16 inch’s of clearance with it.
Stage two will be a new set of fenders,
cutting the tongue down, finishing the paint job, then the buildup of the
storage units. |
