What work did you do on it today?


Not to be confused for cool/great ideas like this thread, which by means post anything rad/great idea in this thread.

I didnt do what I need to do lol. Iv been putting off adding additional lights and making the ramps fold down instead of having to slide them from underneath
 
A few weeks ago I put new wheel bearings in. Also took the tires off my toyhauler and mounted them on the trailer wheels. Sailun all steel tires with 4400lb load capacity. I pretty much needed all the load capacity for this load. :grinpimp:

Bought it and towed it home. Found out it needs a pin support part from Lippert.

Has a nice Onan 5500 watt generator, two renogy 100 ah batteries with Bluetooth, a fuel station and a 10 ft garage. The drive home was adventurous because I have a fuel leak from the driver side rail I'm replacing tomorrow. Lots of white smoke.

Previous owner did the wiring. It has a second battery disconnect on the other side of this wall from the factory.

Then I heard a loud BANG when I lifted the rear beds. I don't know what happened but I'm guessing this part was already bent and they never used the beds. Just a retired couple.


Three look like this.

This is the one that made the noise. Part ordered. Hopefully I'm not getting scammed. It took about 20 minutes to land on some diagram telling me what this is. It's the Pulley Support Assembly 182690.
Also a Bed Lift Pulley Support Bracket 94-207

Inspected the open hauler so I can go pick up my daughter's new-to-her car. The boy and I organized the tie downs and other assorted junk, cleaning up the tongue box. Then I checked threads about tie downs somewhere around here and bought stake pocket d-ring adapters because I have no rails on this trailer. Gonna tirebonnet that green monster for a whole 9 miles and see what breaks.

....and the walfart battery for the winch is a goner. Might grab one on the fly because I'm too bougie to use a comealong in front of the in-laws' neighbors.
 
Took the load of scrap in thats been accumulating on it for about 10 months. I'm going to need to pick up a vehicle next weekend so it needed to happen. Need to hook up the brakes finally and add on to the lips for the ramps as they need to move in 6" a side.
