Got everything all put back together today on the landing gear. It now cranks down to 18 1/2" and up to 30". Worked out real nice and you can't tell it was even done. .........

17) I used an angle grinder with a cut-off wheel to perform the surgery. I cut 3" off the outer leg, inner leg and lead screw. 18 ) You will need to drill new holes in the inner leg for the lead screw retaining pins. I used the piece I cut off as a guide and ran a transfer punch through the...

14) Outer leg, lead screw and inner leg. 15) I washed the lead screw down with brake cleaner and a brush to make working on it cleaner. 16) This washer welded to the bottom of the lead screw is what "tops out" and keeps the screw from threading out of the inner leg when you crank the trailer...

10) The outer leg just lifts right off the inner leg and exposes the lead screw that raises and lowers the landing gear. 11) There is 2 pins holding the screw assembly in the inner leg. 12) These pins will push right out with a punch by hand. I only had to tap on one to get it to move, then...

5) After the shaft is removed you can lift out the side gear. I used an allen wrench. 6) This is what the back side of the side gear looks like. The lower gear looks just like it, but sits on a smaller pin that goes up in the narrow slot. 7) The lower gear can be lifted right off the shaft. It...

As I stated before, I need to shorten the landing gear on the trailer because at the lowest height it is just right to get on/off my truck. On uneven ground off road with the dirt bikes it will present problems and be too heavy to lift on/off the truck. My wife's Yukon is even worse as it is...

Don't know. Mine had some black carc over spray on them, but I switched tires out anyway. I'd guess the carc would wear off over time maybe. Have you tried pressure washing it off? .......

After thinking about it more and more, I've decided to stretch my trailer out to 10' long. Luckily there were some "unknown" trailer chassis this week at Richmond and I was able to win one today. I plan to cut about 30" off the rear of the donor trailer. Grind the welds out on the rear most...

So I've been reading about paint and such. Seeing these concerns with working with CARC, should I take it that grinding, sanding, welding on this trailer inside my home garage would be a big NO-NO? Understanding I'd need to wear a respirator, but concerns over the dust getting on other things in...

Well work on my trailer mods officially began today. I plan to add to this thread throughout the entire process. Its probably gonna take a while though. I'd been kicking around the idea of putting 16x8 steel wheels and 33" tires on the trailer to lower the height down so it will sit level...

Haven't got any good pics of it yet. Should have took some when I took it out to the car wash and washed it off real good a couple weeks ago when it was so nice out. Still has the road spray on it from dragging it home from Richmond in these pics. I sure wish it sat level with my truck. I am...

Won it out of Richmond, VA. They looked good in the pictures but I had no idea what I would find when I got there. Was VERY pleased to find it is in brand new condition. Tires still have the tits on them, all grease zerks have little plastic caps on them, the tool box had all the accessories in...
