UPDATE: Tailgate panel is finished and slides in and out perfect- not so tight it's tough to get it lined up, and not so loose it flops around. It seems highly doubtful that it could wiggle its way out of the slot straight up and come off, but to be sure I needed some way to hold it down...

I used zip ties.

Finished the other corner after work tonight. Everything went smoothly except right at the beginning when removing the side uprights one of the rivnuts started spinning 😡 fortunately it was one of the ones I can get to the nut side and clamped some vice grips on to hold it. I'm out of...

Are you able to transmit and receive between the mil radio and your handheld on simplex? Is the radio transmitting the proper CTCSS tone for the repeater?

I gave the brackets a try but they're not going to work. The socket in the corner is about the same width as the thickness of the wood, so I started poking around in the garage at the stuff I already have, and found this angle steel from a previous (non-trailer) project. I took the side panel...

Interesting. I have a set of those I picked up at Tractor Supply and was planning to return them. I was looking at an external mounting but that wasn't going to work because of the bow sockets (can't run bolts into the sockets or the bows won't drop in). I'll have to play around with them...

Yes, I can be verbose.... Maybe my question got lost in all the text. :unsure: I need some ideas for the back panel. I want it to be easy-on and easy-off. I looked at some stake-side corner brackets but they won't work with the uprights. The only other idea I've come up with is to take...

Took it out for a ride. A little less visibility out the back.

The lucky buyers got a set with their trailers, the really lucky buyers got the bows and cover too. They've become somewhat hard to find, and shipping costs are expensive due to the weight of the whole set.

Thanks to RobertoGatos making me a good deal on the uprights, I was able to get the project moving. The M1101/2 trailers are big, but the sides are low, so they'll volume out long before they'll gross out. So for hauling brush and stuff like that, I wanted to add some high sides. I went out...

Wrong thread somehow...

Wow, all I got on the way home with mine were some strange looks and stares... I pulled mine home with my M1009 so as not to need to rig up any trailer lighting- plugs right in. That was the first and last time it was ever behind the 1009 too. I paid $750 for this one ($950 for the first...

Why 55-60MPH? Were you worried about the trailer's top-speed limit or was that all the truck would do with the trailer behind it? I've run mine 70-75MPH without drama. I wouldn't suggest you do that, but just putting it out there that the trailer's speed limitation is somewhat conservative...

Oh man... that means I got Mod slapped for nuthin'. :doh:

Lol it's nothing to me but we all get a Mod slap at least once for it. :beer:

Just a reminder that members here are not supposed to post any links to an active auction. I'm not sure about craigslist.

Probe the back side of the switch to determine if there's power there. That will easily/quickly rule out the switch if you don't have power there either. Fuse?

I'm a little worried about this piece here as it's also looking pretty dry and cracked (at least on the surface). It seems to be just a splitter, but I know that sometimes they are more specialized - one side may have more restriction than the other. Easy part to find?

Thanks cucvrus, I hoped you'd chime in! After work I popped the hood and took a look. Could it be this easy? :oops: I cut the hose back a bit and stretched the two lines together and took it around the block- seems to be shifting normally. Drove down to the napa and had the guy cut me...

I know there are a lot of old threads on this, but I will need help with physical locations of the various parts and that's often left out. Driving to work this morning I noticed the transmission shifting late from 1st to 2nd (high revs) and while at slow speed I don't get any shift from 2nd to...
