YES infact it is, gold star for you..... i actualy dont have the catapult anymore, it was dismantled a few years ago, we were gona use the tire as a simulated load on the trailer, we didnt do it, but it is so heavy, its a total PITA to move.


o and BTW.... on the ground next to the tire, is one of my mud flaps.

installed mud flaps....pics will be here later today.

pic with the mud flaps and the temperary sides, the sides are made out of woven poly propolinene rope from harbor freighet... waht you see there is just a hair under 1200 feet of rope.

Ok I am very impressed with the poly rope... ok completely baffled. Reminds me of a bondage web site. Very well built trailer though.

I bet that guy across the street from you in that video of you jumping up and down on your trailor thinks your crazy.

that's alot of work for temporary. Do you work for the government? Silly question, you would have subcontracted the work.. Paid $12,000 for a 20 dollar rope. plus it would be installed wrong, thus needing rework and the cost overuns , making your trailer worth millions...

And what's the deal with the xploder in the background.
Ok now I want to see it hooked up...

FENDERS with Jerry can holder

to do all the wraping, it took me 2 trips to harbor freight, and about 1.5 hours.

i will keep these sides for a few months.

what about the exploder in the backround?


o yea, no fenders.... just mud flaps, jerry can comes later.

ill show a pic of it hooked up in a bit.

easier to wrap rope a billion times around the trailer than a few screws?

rope isnt cheaper when you get the wood for free from a construction site from their scrap dumpster. i always go up and ask if i can take some and they are more than willing to let me have their nice pieces of wood.

i would have to drill through the 1/8" steel supports and bolt em up.... also, wind can flow through the ropes, wind cant flow through ply wood.

o, and rope weighs less than wood.

its not like 10lbs of plywood is gonna make a difference for weight on your lead trailer.

btw- what did you do with the fenders you were going to put on there? HANG THEM FROM THE CEILING?????? muahhhahahahah
