I’m not saying I condone drinking and fabbing, but even when I do, I know not to do crap like this! I was going to try to repair it, but I think I’m going to just chop the hangers off and start fresh. Better safe than sorry.

After removing the axle, and examining the leaf hole, I suspect that this trailer has been altered by whoever owned it in the past 45 years. The holes appear to have been filed and or drilled out?

I ended up ordering new leaf springs with the slipper rear setup. I need to repair or replace the ghetto front “slider” hanger, which has failed horribly. The slots have wallered out to the point it’s just one huge hole. I’ll be sure to take some pix of that repair too to show the details. The...

New hubs installed. I’ll need to cut the old backing plates off and weld the new ones on so I can run brakes.

…..on a VERY similar note….. Starting in like, ‘06? Arctic Cat used a Suzuki 660cc J series 3 cyl turbo automotive engine in their T660 sleds. Allegedly they have insane power and torque. I’ve been trying to track down a wrecked unit to use for a samurai or LJ swap for years, but to no avail...

My good friend who worked at LowRange is building a swift right now. He also used to have a GTI turbo samurai he built. Can’t remember if I shared this before or not.

8 lug hubs arrived. This 7,000 lb stuff is huge! Also picked up some 4” drop spindles. These are typically around $110 on etrailer. I found these on another site for $40, so I bought them just to have. I want to keep the deck low, but not sure if these would make it too low with the dovetail. I...

Oooh…that’s actually what I was wanting. I’ll PM you.

As bad as that is, I believe whole heartedly it’s not the worst I’ve seen. Let me see if I can find the one I saw on the interwebs the other day. Edit: Found it.

The one I gave to RockChucker had a main barrel made of 3/16” I think. It weighs 330 pounds per yoders website!

That’s awesome you got it fixed! I never messed with it and am kinda kicking myself for it, but at the same time I’m glad it’s getting good use out of it!

Traeger used to be built in Oregon, once they sold out they moved to China. Allegedly…..they are trying to move mfg back into the states. My recommendation would be Camp Chef (based in Utah, I believe made in China) or GMG. Everybody I know that has either of those brands has liked them. I...

Just do what the “overlanders” do. Throw your trash EVERYWHERE, crap on the trail without burying it, then blast all your pictures all over social media with the description, “Not all who wander are lost”

Springville, but will be in Salt lake area today and tomorrow if it helps.

Another free blue point 3/8. No idea on condition, my landlord gave it to me a few years back.

3/8 Blue Point Worked good last time I used it, I have Milwaukee M18 impacts now though so I don’t use it anymore Also free

On a JKU……. I can only assume it is “white tatas”

After some research, I discovered I can keep the current axle and just update the hubs, so I have 8 lug stuff on order, along with new leafs. So long as the spindles aren’t trashed and pitted when I disassemble, I’ll just stay with the current axle for now. That brings me to my next...

I’ve even seen them as high as $75!!! I unfortunately don’t have a vinyl cuter….but I keep eyeing them. I found a guy on FB to cut these out. I think he charged me $10 for 3. One in white, silver, and black.

Are you the guy reselling them for $45 on Facebook? 😂 But on a serious note, I bought a couple of those a while back. One for my daughter, one for me. I had her name cut out of vinyl in the Snap On font. I’m planning to build a box it can sit in to mimic a full chest.
