The 48' black box

[M4wdFab]

picked up some power and air for the trailer today

[M4wdFab]

over KOH, my honda crapped out after 4 hours of run time.  it would not run without the choke on and then finally started to loose power and shut down.

One of the nights i finally had some time drained and totally disassembled the Carb and brake cleaned everything.  Found no issues, all looked brand new and clear.  reassembled and it was fine for the week.  must have gotten a grain of sand in it. 

New trailer heater was good.  Honda is kinda loud to run a heater-  had ear plugs in all week though from wind noise on the lake bed.


Trailer is not sand proof everything is sandy.

Water line used for hot water not rated for hot- had to swap to trans cooler line and took two repairs to get it working ok.  Need a mixer valve at the shower head.  Too hard to find a happy place between luke warm / cold and burning hot 

[M4wdFab]

replumbed shower line and made new head.  trailer de sand if fied and sleeping area mopped out. 

trailer 90% packed minus matts car and food / clothes. 

water system flushed and filled.

wow ebay sellar and USPS win

ordered Saturday morning RV pump on EBAY, said it shipped Sat at 5pm, USPS says it was delivered this morning from IL

not bad!

[M4wdFab]

new water pump installed last weekend at Rolling W.

Hot shower was nice.




Upgraded the toolbox in this unit since on the way home it came unstrapped and fell over.  tweeked both upper and lower tool boxes, took out a fire extinguisher, and broke off the pumper nipple on my helmet     transfered over everything to the new box last night.

Not fun!

[M4wdFab]

husky boxes are not tip over and roll around trailer proof!   


this one i left the wheels off and it will be bolted to the wall / floor, or strapped with side brackets that wont tweak the top when tight like the last one.  boo. 

[M4wdFab]

just under 2k for 6 wheel disk brakes, bearings, minus line hardware. 

[mr.mindless]

Sounds about right. Don’t. Miss the 9/16 wheel stud option


Tapatalking in traffic

[M4wdFab]

im not sure the brakes annoy me enough to spend that.  Def would be nice.  I think this trailer is a keeper for a few more years than my usual ryan expectancy though.  the 4500 brakes really do work compared to a 3/4 or 1 ton though

[M4wdFab]

had to cut 4" off the back of the ranger to fit in the trailer with new tool box.  only bedsides!

[M4wdFab]

broken vent finally changed, new tool box secured.  Fueled and hooked for this weekneds race.

look right mike?
you basically make your axles idler axles, and put rotors and calipers on them?

[mr.mindless]

looks better than what I have. the non-integrated hub/rotor wasn't a thing or wasn't popular so I have integrated hubs and rotors just like the drums.

that looks like it should be complete minus lines.

FWIW I went with the Dexter actuator and it's been solid. no hydrostar experience.

[M4wdFab]

OK ill check that out. 


ya i was thinking just running mostly hardline, with short softs like our buggies have.  My pump ill mount inside the trailer, so i think the cheaper non marine one is ok.
