The silly question thread

[mudnut]

You're doing it the hard way ET. If you want to recycle your toilet paper, just hang it up and belt the s%&t out of it...

Should you iron it or just roll it back up?

Should you iron it or just roll it back up?

And if the perforations don't line up, just use you sewing machine to make new lines. (As per the comedy show: One Foot In The Grave).

You're funny.

Thanks kiddo

(see you in the happy thread?)

I have been toying with the idea of replacing my Camper trailer's axle with a complete front GQ axle.

This way I can run the old style Hydraulic brakes.

I want to fit an air driven or hydraulic driven motor to the diff.

This way I could move and also recover the trailer.

It could also help to power the set up through tough terrain and up steep hills.

It might also be set up as a descent brake, so the pads and discs don't get hot and fade.

I wonder if it would have to be registered as a motor vehicle.

That's not a silly question. The whole thing is a stoopid statement. You're in the wrong thread!

Please see the 'It makes perfect sense to me I'm a Victorian!' thread. Bahahaha

seems a lot of work for little return, whats wrong with 10" electric brakes, I welded a rear
receiver onto my camper if need be to recover, Even for long term remote touring I cant see the
value of it, sounds good on paper though
What weight trailer you talking about mate.??

You remember my home-made camper don't you? Anyways, I thought it would be a good way to carry spares:P

The problem with a front gq diff is..
Knuckle joints..
You'll have to fix these..
Shafts..
They are supported by the diff center..
Imo..
What's wrong with a skid plate for the hitch.
If you need to recover it add the hitch skid plate and drag it out..

Now the "extra drive"?
How will you start and control this drive?
When your in shit and contemplating a second drive you've clearly gone to far..
But more importantly are you going to risk it all to jump out, engage hubs and start whatever power sorce you have for the extra axle?

Then there's all that weight hauling around for the sake of a few spares..
But say you do brake a cv joint 2nd day of your 10 day trip??
Your going to leave your camper??
Either way in that setup something is going home on a trailer..

Imo it's much easier to carry a spare long and short cv and a few sets of bearings.. including trailer stub axles..

Get yourself a motorized jockey wheel so you can move the trailer around.
