The "Monster's" tail build thread

[AZ_Ray]

So I had some time on my day off today, I was working on the trailer getting some parts installed.

Here's me putting on the coupler, torquing it down the spec.


Old-school way of setting the bead on tires


While I was mounting the tires I lowered the Jack a little bit so I didn't have to lift the tire up… This is the result of the trailer slipping off the jacket and the jackstand


My hand got caught between the tire and the top edge of the fender well approximately 1100 pounds came down on top of my hand. Not too bad only one broken bone

So it's been about 7 weeks since i broke my hand......I'm back to work now. Should be able to get some major work done once i get caught up.

Here's some pics of after surgery and after pin was pulled out.


Yes the pin is sticking out






Here's the pin out.....they just pull it out with a pair of needle nose pliers.....
