Idk about ur Michigan DMV rule on homemade trailer as i know my state DMV rule i have to take it scale to weight out and do some paper work before i could get homemade trailer title. Just wonder.

Pete M Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 It was originally built and titled in colorado (by a previous owner) and I can only say that it falls in the "weight/fee category" of 500#. I've got no idea if that means it weighs as much or is "rated" to carry that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 the other day I went back to the junkyard and grabbed the 3" lift leafs from that XJ. not the whole packs, just the Super lift leafs. today I spent waaaay too much time outside sweating and didn't even get one side finished. hopefully tomorrow I can wrap it up and see where it sits. the hope is for about the same height but with an overall stiffer pack. other items on the to-do list: -remove all the random brake lines -install some turbine rims -replace the rusted spare tire carrier with a functional one -I'd love to rewire it up with a 7-wire loom so I can power for in-bed lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 now with greater load capacity, better roll resistance, and some snazzy turbines with tiny crappy tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted August 4, 2020 Author Share Posted August 4, 2020 some days my genius knows no limits. so I've been fighting with my bent tailgate on my bent bed for years now (push in with your body weight and yank hard on the handle at just the right time) and today it finally dawned on me I can just nip off the end of the latches. now it's a one-handed operation.

Pete M Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 so one of my crappy tires on the turbines has a slow leak so I traded them out for a pair of my Rubicons. I like it. can't wait to pull it with the Liberty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 get the yard to use the forklift but if I'm at the house, I screw a couple 2x4s to the existing 2x4s to make a ramp off the side of the trailer. they don't weigh much so it's pretty easy to slide up the ramp.
