    Default Skersfan's build for Old Sarge, May 2012...

    Well Folks, the new build has begun, and once again I have the honor of bringing you the first pics. But first a short word from our intrepid builder...

    "This is production trailer number 1. Some major changes in the frame. The first one was extremely strong, but had some rough points for me. This is smoother and stronger. 2 inches longer, which will allow for a small bumper in the back. Water tanks farther forward. It may be just a little heavier, but I never want to see a broken frame." - Skersfan




    05/13 from the Blue Room... "All of my trailers are built on a jig. You are looking at the frame on the jig. I sent Old Sarge some off the jig. Tomorrow pick up the top bows being bent by All Pro, hope to have the walls on it by tomorrow nite with luck, if not will be shut down until after Overland Expo, as the prototype has been put through the paces for the last 8-9 months so she needs a good cleaning, touching up of the scratches, to make her presentable." - Skersfan
    More to come...

    I have been getting parts and steel, but I am supposed to be at Overland Expo in the morning, and still have not left. Hard to both, I am dead tired and have no idea how I am going to drive 600 miles tonight, oh well have to do what you have to do.

    I will start back on the trailer next Monday.

    Stay safe and sane in your travels, Bob!

    Cool to see the build pics on Trailer #2 (Production #1), I was hoping you'd be able to share (or get someone to do it for you).

    Cheers from CO ...
