I really wanted to put the new wheels and tires on the jeep today.
But forced myself to finish installing insulation/ sound deadner in the top. I bought some 1” insulation board from homerdepot. Spent way more time than I wanted to on this so hopefully it will be quieter. Also should help with condensation on the inside of the roof. When it snowed or frosted it would literally have huge water droplets on the inside of the roof. So now I won’t have to wear a rain coat inside my jeep I put the old license plate to good use. |

since it was so nice I was working outside.
So of course a eastern Oregon rain storm hit!! The good news is eastern Oregon rain storms only last for 1-5 minutes.... this one was pretty bad it lasted a whole 4 1/2 minutes!!! Around here when we say it rained 3-4” we ment the Rain DROPS were 3-4” apart Edited by Flatfender Ben - 16 Mar. 2018 at 3:43am |

Loaded up my tools and spare parts.
Points file and the all important spare condenser Fuel filter and spare electric fuel pump. I made sure and strapped down my old ammo can toolbox... if I ever flopped my jeep I don’t want that bouncing around!! I used the footman loop in the floor and seat frame for the strap. My Dad knew a guy who rolled his 4 wheeler and was killed by a ammo can toolbox. I definitely don’t want to be hit in the head by mine. |

I have never seen such a trailer the pivot part is neat. Single axle is crazy. How does it pull with 2 jeeps? Is that rear part bent or is it just the pic?

Ya that trailer is one of a kind. Built by Dad. The only thing he bought new was the axle. The frame is from a IH load star 1600 farm truck,including the leaf spring set up, he unbolted the truck rearend and put the trailer axle in its place. The aluminum deck is the second level out of a cattle trailer including the rear ramp. The ramp is angled to make loading easy. Most cases if parked in a low spot ramps aren’t needed. Especially when unloading a jeep we just back off. The uprights for the tongue are pieces of the truck frame. The part that goes out to the hitch coupler is a big piece of bridge beam. The Coupler itself was used and already had the angle parts welded on it when he found it. Since the deck is all aluminum makes the trailer surprisingly light for as heavy duty as it is. He frequently has hauled his 15,000 pound mini excavator on it. With no problems. Being single axle many people raise an eyebrow at it but it actually handles and pulls really well being a gooseneck. |
