How the hell does that pass the pits/road worthy?
Whatswrong with that? Itd be easy to reverse:smiley_thumbs_up:
I'm thinking these days it wouldn't pass. It had been repaired on the left hand side( rewelded and braced) but who knows it may have had someone stand on the drawbar to reach the roof rack of the car so that's understandable.Quote:

As long as electrical works. keep the trailer and load under a tonne forget about brakes.
Bit of a buff and she'll look new.
What's with the 60 series it's hooked up to ?????
Hahhahah
Maybe the draw hitch is so long and the 44 drum on the back is full of lead so when changing the cv's in the bush you dont have to jack the front of car up. land cruiser owner are strange people
Trailers don't need to go over the "pits" to be rego'ed,
all you need s proof of ownership and receipts for steel/materials
So in theory you could register a 44 on pram wheels with a coat hanger as a draw bar
it stinks.
Same here in NSW, once a box trailer is registered just pays your money each year for renewal.Quote:

I do recall a mate taking one over the pits for some reason, It was a brand new
7x5 trailer. not sure on braked trailers
Top find Mega, thanks for sharing that, PMSL!!
Cheers, the ferret.
You can also see the coat hanger draw bar runs the full length of the trailer and is supporting the tub also I still laugh thinking about it lol, I think I'd trust a 44 on pram wheels before I loaded this up lol.
When engineered correctly and applied correctly a lattice boom style like that can be very strong while weighing next to nothing. You can see this evident in cranes.
As for that trailer it's had its day. The idea is good but the execution is not lol
