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.

olddude Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I was just kidding, Were they is a will there is a way. I remember pulling a bed off my old 54 GMC and mashing a finger pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 last night another bed was delivered to my house (huge thanks to Tex06!) and with my back mess up I figured the easiest way to unload was to just slide it over to the trailer on 2x4s to bridge the gap. worked like a charm.

Pete M Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 still bein' useful. the red one is eventually going to be my future trailer body since it matches my new '88 right down to the decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 upgrade achieved. picked myself up a longbed over-the-rail Comanche liner for a whole 50 bucks. on the downside, I had to leave the Duraliner behind and so I no longer own an example of each brand of liner made.

Pete M Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 I'm hanging on to the red one for now. but if you want a replacement header, I'll see what I can dig up before I head north. I've passed on a bunch lately that had minor cracks. guess I should stop doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted June 29, 2022 Author Share Posted June 29, 2022 it's amazing what some hot glue and paint will do. these are the busted up tails I've had on the trailer this entire time (I'm not putting nice things on the back of the trailer until I get it to a car show). inspired by a painted pair I just sold, I bought some black and clear and started gluing them back together. after bringing the tails into the house I discovered a wasp in one. she was unhappy about that, but I took the housing outside and she flew off. her nest was not so lucky. they look fantastic from 20 ft. I assure you, these are horrible tails. but regardless, weather permitting I hope to get them installed in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted August 22, 2022 Author Share Posted August 22, 2022 due to someone needing a 3.55 dana 35, I got off my butt and swapped in my AMC-20 to free up the 35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 got some goodies off an '86 XJ at the junkyard and one of those things was a pair of beat up AMC mudflaps so I figured they should go on the '86 trailer. being from an XJ I had to figure out how exactly to attach them. close enough for the half-a-jeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 used the half-a-Jeep to get some gravel this past weekend. in total it was 4 trips at 1000 pounds each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
