Now saving used oil to swab on the deck of my new (used) 10 footer. Thanks for the tips! If you are in an area of frost or freezing... you might want to ponder aggregate instead.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

I wish I'd have taken some before and after pics of my dump trailer. I bought it from a fella in Seeley lake, Mt that probably frequents a place like this based on his house. I replaced all the backing plates, hubs, bearings, wheels and added 19.5 tires. I had to strip and paint it after welding up some of the oopsies. It's a nice rig now. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/W3FcZBR2/20230629-084146.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/3rGHxQC1/20230629-102803.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/VLymqkL2/20230728-083814.jpg)
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

ive done 25-30 trailer floors in the last 20 years. by bolting the boards down you buy cull crooked lumber at a lumber yard and with the right tools straighten them out when bolting them down. i bought a few thousand 3" wood to metal screws that were made to screw 1 1/2 wood to steel a few years back. very easy to install.

Last time we did my 12ft double axle trailer, we hung it up in the air with my buddies forklift, removed the old rotted boards, sandblasted it, painted it with black Imeron, and put the new boards on.
