Now that boys and girls...is a beautiful thing!

Hahahaha...yeah, but you know, it's actually been rewarding to figure it out. I've been eyeing a 20 ton hydraulic floor press from Harbor Freight, so me thinks it's time to bite the bullet. I figured for a little more than what I'd pay someone to do it I could get a floor press out of it! More on th...

Definitely perplexing for sure. So I took a stab at pressing in the new bushings with my bench vise. What an ordeal. After getting to the point where I just couldn't physically turn the handle any more (even with a cheater bar) and this is how far I got. Do you guys think it's far enough? I do think...

Thanks Bob. Yes you are correct. Fortunately, I'm stkll able to see where the old tack welds are so I plan on using that as my visual marker of what side faces forward. The 4tha and last sleeve is being stubborn so I stopped by Lowes last night to get a smaller cold chisel I plan on finishing that o...

It worked! So I used my jigsaw with a metal cutting blade to cut some grooves inside the outer metal jacket then used a hammer and chisel to fold the metal inside. Liberally sprayed PB Blaster and out she came. Pressing the new one in will be another story. So, for those of you who are brave enough ...

Looks like they were tacked onto the axle (which makes no sense to me since the bushing is captured between the flanges that it's bolted to under the trailer). My one question for those of you that have replaced these is...is that metal lip that sticks...

Got these suckers back today from the local sandblaster. Aren't they perty?!!! Does anyone know what the small hole is behind the hub? At first I thought maybe they were spaces for a girl but can't tell. Now to paint them. Any recommendations? After that (or perhaps before) to replace those rubber p...

Thanks Bob. As far as l can tell the bathroom subfloor is okay in my rig. The PO had replaced some of the flooring in the back so now it just seems it's the frame that needs help. Planning on doing this when the weather cools off down here. Will let you know how it goes. Hopefully we can do most of ...

Thanks Landon! Figured they wouldn't be cheap!

Hey there, The windows were ordered from https://www.motionwindows.com Made in Washington state, double paned sliders. Started refurbishing the others and I just wasn’t liking it. My wife and I put them in, need 2 people wasn’t hard. The biggest obstacles are that the old windows screw to the trail...
