    2- 17" Jeep MOAB Wheels

    Two 17" Moab wheels. Great condition. One has a small curb rash- see pic. 265/70r17 michelins. One has 4/32 and the other has 5/32. Both treads are measured not a guess. Great trail spares. Would prefer to sell as a pair, but will entertain offers. I have the center caps to go with them also and...

    SPEN Trailer Resto-Mod (warning- lots of pics)

    A little progress Can't work outside lately with all of the rain and snow. But did finally get the floor of the tub in. Had to cut it to size with the Plasma. Worked pretty good using an angle iron as a straight- edge. Tub is squared as good as I can get it. It's off about 1/16th...

    SPEN Trailer Resto-Mod (warning- lots of pics)

    Not much more progress yet But I have a question- The original tailgate is shot. Which Means I need to fab a new one. Or put a solid panel on the back. At this point I am thinking of closing in the back end with a solid panal a-la an m-416. 1) Less Fab work 2) I feel like it would make...

    SPEN Trailer Resto-Mod (warning- lots of pics)

    It's a great shop . . . all the toys . . . . but it's not mine. It's at the local Vo-Tech. I am taking a class through the community college to learn how to weld. As my instructor keeps telling me, I picked a heck of a 1st project!

    SPEN Trailer Resto-Mod (warning- lots of pics)

    The build continues While the frame is in my garage in various stages or prime & paint, I started the tub last night. First order of business was to remove the rusted out flanges on the bottom where the old floor was welded in: The sides weren't too bad, but the front of the tub is really...

    Fleetwood Neon Question

    I have the Neon's Older sibling- the Graphite But they have the same lift mechanism. When you crank it up do you hear a distinct clicking sound? That's the pawl in the ratchet in the gear box and is your locking mechanism. If you don't hear the clicking, there is something wrong with your...

    Aggrocrag's 2011(Now 2014) Pro-4x

    Well- keep an eye on your lift mechanism and thrust bearing. They are prone to failure. And parts are getting scarcer and scarcer. Might want to find a new bearing now to prepare for future failure. BTW- to get back on topic. I had a 2000 Fronty. 165K carefree miles before i upgraded to...

    SPEN Trailer Resto-Mod (warning- lots of pics)

    It's a Spen. Previous owner and I are guessing Mid-40's but nobody knows for sure on the year. It's titled as a 2013. Neither the state of PA or the state of MD could definitively pin down a year of manufacture. So the state of MD titled it as being built in the year it was titled. The PA...

    SPEN Trailer Resto-Mod (warning- lots of pics)

    I don't know. I have the ones that came off of it- still in fine shape though not original. If I put on a rigid lid, they won't work anymore. But if not, they will slide into the stake pockets in the tub. I have also thought about putting a custom vinyl tonneau cover on it to keep gear dry...

    SPEN Trailer Resto-Mod (warning- lots of pics)

    I've gotten the frame pretty much back into good shape. Now I need to clean up the metal, prime, and paint. The plan is to restore as much as practical, but also make it suit my needs. It won't be a hard core off road trailer with RTT or anything. But I do want it to haul gear for tent...

    SPEN Trailer Resto-Mod (warning- lots of pics)

    I'm dual posting here and in another place that is more about restoration. I have embarked on a restoriation- modification of an old SPEN trailer I picked up a year ago. Lots of rot. Lots of repairs needed. Lots of challenges. But I'm excited and doing all of the work myself. So in the...

    help with wheels on trailer build

    Thought about that. Existing axle is 5 x 4.5. I need 5x5. I've found some adapters but none in 2". Would hate to buy a new axle that is 5x5 AND have to buy spacers too when I could just spec that axle the correct width in the first place. Of course if I could find 5x4.5 to 5x5 adapters in...
