i might add though that i did add arched fiberglass bows on the bed lips to support the canvas top - it kinda looks "factory" to the un-edumacated
What ‘task at hand’ would it need to be adapted for? It’s a 1/4 ton trailer. The only thing it’s useful for to me is carrying a tent and my gear to a location that my popup cannot go.
It carries my tent while allowing enough room for
The annex under the tent as well as carrying bikes or
Kayaks or any other campy accessories I want. I’m not really sure what else I would use it for because it’s not a particularly useful size and doesn’t have a tailgate. not good for hauling quads or dirt bikes, not really useful to go get a yard of mulch or rock, so on and so forth.
If it was gonna be used to haul any substantial amount of stuff i would have bought a larger trailer with a higher weight rating. I have a 3/4 ton pickup for that kind of work. It seems to work for exactly what I need it for. I had no desire or intention to keep it ‘original’ from day one, though the only unoriginal parts about it are some
Bed liner and 8 holes I drilled.
That all being said it would take about 10 minutes to remove both the rack and tent, either separate or attached to each other.
Well it ain't just the smoke and the traffic jam that makes me the bitter fool I am But this four-wheel buggy is A-dollaring me to death.
For gas and oils and fluids and grease, And wires and tires and anti freeze....And them accessories, Well honey, that's something else.
