Aussie Annie Posted May 14, 2013 #101 Posted May 14, 2013 Your trailer is pretty well done, besides pulling it behind my truck which will happen tonight and ready for Don to take it West All the carpet is back in, the lights have all been op checked, the dual locking latches have been installed and I installed new rubber seal along the inside of the lid to keep the water and critters out. Don went and got the new trailer plate and we installed it, so it's good for a year. I am very confident that this will serve you well while y'all are here in the US. I am interested in hearing what you think about it when Alan gets a chance to pull it thank you for everything you have done to the trailer Brad.... words will never express our thanks properly
Squidley Posted May 14, 2013 #102 Posted May 14, 2013 thank you for everything you have done to the trailer Brad.... words will never express our thanks properly Your welcome Annie, hell I might even bid on it when your through with it and it goes up for auction
gunboat Posted May 14, 2013 Author #103 Posted May 14, 2013 I will bid on it too. if if I don't win the the trailer at the international. regards don c.
gunboat Posted May 16, 2013 Author #105 Posted May 16, 2013 well the trailer is loaded into the bed of my truck. it fit's but had to leave the tailgate down. as my ramps are a bit longer than the truck bed. but brad secured the trailer down very well. annie there is a long break over bar that will be with the trailer. I have included two different sockets 1 is a 3/4 and the other is a 13/16. one of these two sockets fit the lugs bolts on the trailer axles, the other one is to remove the nuts on the spare tire. hopefully you won't have to use them, but they are there . I will be heading north by northwest to cloves, nm. will see ya'll later this summer. regards don c.

Squidley Posted May 17, 2013 #111 Posted May 17, 2013 I have been texting with Don during the day. As of 8:15 pm CST he was in Clovis New Mexico and had covered 700 miles so far. He's doing good and I have been on his rear about stopping and getting rest if he feels sleepy. Anyone that has ridden or knows Don will attest that he's pig headed about getting rest. It's all good and I'll keep y'all updated as the trip progresses

P-roy Posted May 17, 2013 #116 Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) OK, we are traveling to Portland to visit family and should be arriving there on June 6th. Traveling from the Minneapolis, St. Paul area, driving out on June 5 and 6. Willing to adjust our route to pick up and deliver the trailer if needed, provided those dates work. Let us know if we can help out. Edited May 17, 2013 by P-roy
gunboat Posted May 17, 2013 Author #117 Posted May 17, 2013 Thanks that would be SWEET. But i'am sure Annie or Dave will chime in soon. I've got the trailer here & all in one peice. Thanks & regards Don c.
P-roy Posted May 17, 2013 #118 Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) Thanks that would be SWEET. But i'am sure Annie or Dave will chime in soon. I've got the trailer here & all in one peice. Thanks & regards Don c. I could meet up somewhere on a weekend between now aJune 5 to get the trailer, then take it to Portland as I go, or if someone else is able to start the relay west, I could grab it from them. ( I'm assuming you have it in Cleavland, or maybe it is headed to Utah ). We could route near Salt Lake on our way out if that will help. Keep me posted. Edited May 17, 2013 by P-roy
