I am pretty sure that is not the only itch that has been 'got' in the AA p-lot. :flipoff2:

...and i wasnt discouraging a steel deck.
Finally got my dovetail going last weekend. Pics are following. Starting on moving the axles back about 8 inches and real fenders this afternoon and weekend. Had to take a Robbie picture too!:flipoff2:
looks heavy!
heavy is good...
How hard is it going to be to get into that toolbox where it's at? Other than that, lookin good.
Remove the jack from the tongue and put a swing jack on the side. Then but the box on the tongue.
I hate side jacks, especially lifting a heavy trailer. All of our small trailers have them. The tool box is really only for chains and straps, so whenever Im pulling the jeep, really wont matter. I can still open the lid about halfway with my bumper above me.
Didnt really want to use 5" channel for the slats on the dovetail, but its what I had at the time. The trailer is/was fairly light.
Why does it matter if the jack is on the side or in the middle. My swing away jack is mounted on the side and it seems to work just fine lifting the trailer with the Bronco on it. And I don't have to worry about bottoming out on the jack
I'm a dumbass or was drinking. I do have a swing away jack, but it is in the middle. I havent seen my trailer in a while and was thinking of my old car hauler. It working fine either way though.
sometimes on heavy trailers the swing jacks try to twist, but i perfer them
electric jack, its what high class rednecks use.
