Super User MN Fisher Posted August 22, 2021 Author Super User Share Posted August 22, 2021 I love it when they use different bolts to attach the same items Fenders: One side had 3/8 hex bolts front and rear...that's fine...exactly what I would have used Other side...front was a 3/8 socket head, rear was a 5/16 hex head (stares) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted August 22, 2021 Global Moderator Share Posted August 22, 2021 Walk back to the garage, then back to the trailer. Then back to the garage, then back to the trailer. Lather, rinse, repeat 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User MN Fisher Posted August 22, 2021 Author Super User Share Posted August 22, 2021 At least it's only about 15' from where the trailer is parked to my tool-box. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deephaven Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Exactly why I use a cart, a mobile tool box or a tool basket. I just bring everything I could ever need the first time. ....which limits me to 20 more runs back for something else 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User MN Fisher Posted August 22, 2021 Author Super User Share Posted August 22, 2021 It is a mobile tool box - but garage main door to sidewalk next to work area is 10' of grass...whoops And garage to back door right in front of work area...there's a 2" step up...umm, not that way either. Tool box is 2' from that step up...8' from door...closest I can get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User MN Fisher Posted August 23, 2021 Author Super User Share Posted August 23, 2021 Gotta love the 'wanna be's'. Put the canoe up on a site...less than an hour later had a 'buyer' who then proceeded to try a check scam on me. Reported them and told them to take a hike. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deephaven Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I just looked for your listing to scam you but couldn't find it. ...more seriously, I flippin' hate people. Sorry that you had to deal with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User MN Fisher Posted September 1, 2021 Author Super User Share Posted September 1, 2021 One other thing I did was finish removing the steel wool someone had shoved down the forward section of the trailer. @TnRiver46: you'll get a kick out of this. In amongst that were cracked open shells of acorns...seems chipmunks or small squirrels had been using the forward part as a stash point...didn't find any nesting, but the amount of cracked open acorns was impressive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted September 2, 2021 Global Moderator Share Posted September 2, 2021 Hahaha! I see that a lot in crawl spaces, even mice will put little acorns anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User MN Fisher Posted October 11, 2021 Author Super User Share Posted October 11, 2021 Once I get everything done on it, I'm gonna do a walk-around vid of the trailer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deephaven Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Awesome work. Smart too. I know myself. If I did the boat first I would never get around to the trailer. That'd be sad. Going to be great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detroit1 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Nice job, Ken. I wouldn't just throw the spare in the back of the truck without locking it down somehow. It's getting harder to trust people these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User gimruis Posted October 19, 2021 Super User Share Posted October 19, 2021 Technically if it’s in the back of the truck, someone could snipe it. If it’s bolted down on the trailer, that might be a slight deterrent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User MN Fisher Posted October 19, 2021 Author Super User Share Posted October 19, 2021 Or put it in the rear of the extended cab - took the rear seat out to turn that part into cargo space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deephaven Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 OMG, how can you drive around with that and the rusty leaf springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User MN Fisher Posted October 19, 2021 Author Super User Share Posted October 19, 2021 Not enough leeway to replace the leaf-springs...they're still fully functional, so it's a 'maybe next year' thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deephaven Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Ok, j/k. Great job although when all else is new looking those stood out .

Super User gimruis Posted October 21, 2021 Super User Share Posted October 21, 2021 Is it sitting on the trailer in there? Looks like the perfect size area in the garage to work on it. Even in the winter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User MN Fisher Posted October 21, 2021 Author Super User Share Posted October 21, 2021 Ya, it's on the trailer...leveled port/starboard and fore/aft.

Couple spots it's a little bit of a squeeze - but the garage is small enough that the space heater I have will keep it working-temp even in Jan or Feb. I was also standing right in front of the door into the basement work-shop area when I took the pic...so that's another plus. BTW: Last seat is out, and all the leaves that were sitting in there have been 'vacuumed' up...just about filled the bag on my leaf-sucker...course until Sunday it'd been sitting under a tree that's already lost most of it's leaves.

Super User MN Fisher Posted November 4, 2021 Author Super User Share Posted November 4, 2021 Close to being done setting the feet. To keep them in line bow-to-stern, I'm using my 'long straight edge'. Set the foremost one, set the rearmost one, place the straight edge between those and set the rest against the straight edge...and they all line up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
