    Roadside Assistance

    I have a commercial plan through state farm, and they don't offer roadside for that line. Could try Humphries or some of the other bigger commercial coverage companies like western truck. Most likely it's the tow companies that are the issue, it's easy and cheap to get a roll-back out for...

    M871 Rebuild

    Last one for this evening before I ran out of sunlight. The trailer is getting repainted "686" Desert Tan. Actually Home Depot was nice enough to explore un-used portions of the paint machine and pull the actual Federal Standard 595 chip code for the two colors. I provided the codes 33446 and...

    M871 Rebuild

    Here is the trailer primed, it's a white primer which I didn't think would be fun but it's turning out to be really contrasty to the top coat. Yes there are some missed spots but as previously mentioned they aren't a great concern. The main objective was to get the rusty metal primer over the...

    M871 Rebuild

    Alright I have a few pictures to upload. These are after I stripped the lights reflectors and well anything I didn't want painted. It also conveniently shows the only markings the trailer had, mental note to save that info.

    M871 Rebuild

    Well I finished priming the trailer, well sorta, I ran out of primer. Since its oil based and I don't want to clean up again I'm not going to touch up undershot area's. Since it was overcoating CARC and not priming bare steel I can live with this. I'll post pics in a second but first a few...

    Re-decking M871, what material?

    I went with White Oak. The Yellow pine I found had to be worked to much to get the dimension. The white Oak is coming custom milled to rough dimensions I'll do the finally and ship lap it. I'm also painting the trailer see other thread...

    M871 Rebuild

    Been awhile since I posted but I've had a busy summer, between work and work if you know what I mean. I finished striping the trailer and pressure washed it a few times. Still had to go pull webs and two big girls off the cross members. I don't know how they survived the onslaught of 4200...
