It started out with light skin, so no, it can't dance no matter what it tries to claim when it's drunk.Your trailer looks mighty fine, Coug, excellent; but can it sing and can it also dance?!

Are we talking a rural elementary school, or one run by liberals?Is it allowed within 800 yards of an elementary school?
Only in camo!Is it allowed within 800 yards of an elementary school?
Rural! We know anything goes when the libs get ahold of your kids!Are we talking a rural elementary school, or one run by liberals?

Nice looking trailer, Coug!Okay, did yet another thing to my M1102 trailer.

Not the prettiest, and I still need to add some type of hard material under the canvas to keep it from sagging, but I've definitely seen worse.
on the HMMWV I used a fiberglass panel painted black. Been working great, and I have more of the panels. Or I might just put some wood strips in there. I have a sawmill and acres of trees, so plenty of materials to use.Nice looking trailer, Coug!
Wonder if you can use sailboat fiberglass stays as trailer bows? The stays are just long flat flexible strips of fiberglass used to stiffen sails. Olympia is on the water isn't it? Any marinas there where you could check?
Or maybe you could just use lath strips (1/4" x 1-1/2") found in any big box hardware store: they're flexible, too (to a point).
You know. Just a couple of ideas. Maybe the trailer crowd knows if that'll work or not (because I really don't know what I'm talking about!).
Looks good. Nice work!Painted my M105A2 trailer and much more...

Thanks the original landing gear was damaged and I had to cut it off, dang that thing was heavy too! I had a crank jack on there for awhile but grew tired of it very quickly. Picked up the electric jack from Harbor Freight and it's a game changer for sure..
And that electric jack is nice too! Huff and Puff and Grunt loading and unloading the trailer - and then you get home - and have to crank the handle to disconnect the trailer... Yes sir, the jack doing the work is a nice upgrade!
Paint job is nice too.
Wondered what that little "hood" on the jack leg was all about...And that electric jack is nice too! Huff and Puff and Grunt loading and unloading the trailer - and then you get home - and have to crank the handle to disconnect the trailer... Yes sir, the jack doing the work is a nice upgrade!

Thanks, Mullaney!!
Patience paid off.So today I was going to install a new set of brake levers on my tan M101A2 trailer.
This time I used heat, liquid wrench, and a hammer and pliers.
It was slow going at first, but after a few heat cycles and lots of hammer taps, plus almost a can of penetrate, she finally busted loose and works perfectly!
It will run the entire length of travel now and can even only use two fingers doing it.
Took about an hour.
It was either going to work or be taken apart and placed in a vise for an autopsy.Patience paid off.
Who would have guessed it?!
