Harbor Freight trailer crash emergency!

Good to have friends that melt metal...

That’s right Eddie, and my NWKA and NCKA brother are considered friends until they do something to compromise that and so far it’s only one that has and I never actually met him. 

Well, above all I  hope you get out and collect some hogs for that service...you know...you reap what you sow type stuff...good 4th to ya'...

Hitting the big blue tomorrow for some primal blood on the deck therapy. In the middle of busting out a custom kayak trailer for a guy up here also, got his frame built today, was working on that when crash paid a visit.

I think crash might have been very lucky!

That’s a really bad first point of failure. MJo will get you fixed up adequately. You owe him a good cigar, Doug.

Except he don’t smoke cigars 

Well then, Doug could smoke it in your honor. It’s a thing. And of course as everyone always says: “ It’s the thought that counts.”

On it.

Nose hairs need trimming too

This is what he interrupted with his emergency, jet ski trailer remodel from the axles up. 

Why not put the trailer jack on the frame instead of the tongue?
It would relieve the constant stress on the flex point.
I know it's under stress when towing, but it doesn't have to be all the time.

  It needs room to pivot up..  ( my guess )

    Thanks for saving that Raptor from certain death ...  there's so few left on the west coast now.

Unless your Gumby or Stretch Armstrong it’s really difficult to put a trailer on the ball from that far back. Jack stands under the front when parked work to relieve that stress.

Been working for me for 20+ years.

How long is the tube from the A frame to the coupler? As you can see crashes is two Jack Russel Terriers long, that’s why we put it half way back. He wanted a longer tongue “fir some reason” 

After cleaning up my mess today from the previous build I figured I’d show you the China part failure from Doug’s trailer..... right before I threw it in the scrap pile.

It looks like it wants to fly!
