Glad to know that everyone has the same initial thoughts as I did. Tongue weight is in the 100-150lb range. Loaded only includes a cooler a spare tire mounted up front and a sleeping bag and sleering pad. Total load is only 300lbs of cargo. I should try putting 300lbs in front of the axle and...

Looking for some input. I built a trailer from an old truck bed and frame. It is an s10 ZR2 frame and spring set with a long bed box with a cap. The problem I am having is at hi way speed the box sways on the leafs. The wheels do track properly behind the blazer I tow it with. I guess the best...

Chilli, Make sure if you do a tour of Canada again to make it to Manitoba. I'll take you out in the back country.

Thanks for the compliment. I don't get out to seddons much. Usually head to Rennie or Policore. I need to get out camping soon.

Almost done. The fairly large changes as of late.

Some recent changes have increased my flex drastically.:Wow1:

Made a skid plate because the stock Alum. one was bending. 3/16" plate and some cutting and welding.

Jared gave me some help today so I could get my spare outside of the blazer. And in case I need to use the hitch to tow I can mount it on the front.

I have been running an Eaton E locker for about two years. This past summer I noticed that it wasn't locking properly. THIS LOCKER DISENGAGES IF YOU CHANGE FROM FORWARD TO REVERSE RESULTING IN LOCKING UNDER POWER! The locking pins have a tendency to wear out under this condition. I am not...

You can order zerks with out the check ball. I have done so at work because air greasers in the wrong hands were pushing the balls and springs into moving parts. http://www.fastenal.com/web/products/details/58826
