So if I put a tarp in it, and fill with water those two will show up?With a liner and a water jet or two you could even use it a rolling Jacuzzi:
- Might be a hit at a rally.
The possibilities are endless.

Thanks Soni.I'm pretty sure the rear brake chambers are just a standard type 30-30 commercial brake chamber. Any truck supply house should carry them. Or you can buy the whole thing new for $40-50. All you have to do is cut the threaded actuating rod to the same length as the one on the old one and change the crosshead over.

P.s. I'm sure you know this already but do not try to open the spring brake portion of the chamber. If that one has the bad diaphragm you should just replace it Unless of course you have the necessary knowledge and equipment to preform this dangerous task safely....![]()

Purchase info? I need a few for my trailers. 1 of 4 had a pin.I'll pass on the fairy godmother! I guess the wife of 21 years will do!
I did order a pin today.

Have you been Good? Was that on your Shopping List to Santa!?Is the M989A1 suitable for towing an armored vehicle? I know it's long and stout enough to handle weight and size, but I'm wondering about loading... Is it feasible to make ramps to drive up the trailer? I would need to tow a Saracen (British APC) with my 5 ton. The other conundrum is how you handle the deep well -- if you have to build it up to make a flat deck, I think it would be too costly and involved.
Saracen acquisition unrelated to Santa! Just got bit by armor bug and long story short, an armored Cold War era British APC journeyed across the Atlantic to Pennsylvania. For some reason I can't upload photos, but it's the same model as this one.Have you been Good? Was that on your Shopping List to Santa!?![]()
That looks like a great trailer, but is it civvy? Civvy trailers on craigslist are $4K+ and you have to deal with 12V vs. 24V and then different plug. On GL, the trailers are a grand or so.Very nice!
Maybe you could find something like this around your area.View attachment 600141
