[QUOTE="Rowdie, post: 294405, member: 272"] I've spent a lot of my time over the last week and a half replacing bunks, tires and even the jack on my trailer. I'll put some pictures up once I get this started. I'm on my tablet now. But I can't believe how deteriorated the brackets were holding the bunks on the trailer. I should've done this last August, but kit took me forever to find the right brackets. Finally went to Moritz and had them order them. I was planning on doing it after work and weekends, but this shutdown gave me the time. The carpeting of the bunks went real smooth, I even caked the wood in wood glue to seal them up nice. Lucky I all this extra time too, as while airing up my tires two valve stems broke, and I had to take them tires off in the mud. Fn Ranger rims look nice but suck if you use a tire iron. You can barley fit it on the lug nuts as the rim is just such a tight fit, need to use a socket. The tires were pretty bad so I put 4 new ones on. Since I only had one spare, and live 50 miles from anywhere that sells tires, I could only get two put on rims. Lucky one of our bus drivers helped me out and put the other two on for me. Then the jack was giving out, and I barely got the boat off my truck. So my trailer is a fancy one with fiberglass surrounding the special jack. I just cut a bigger hole. But what would seem like a 1 hour project ends up taking the better part of a day. I had to take the jack apart from the bracket as the bracket is welded to my trailer. The one I bought was held one by snap clip. Needed a buddy to help me as I don't have the right tool . One thing after another I tell you. But today, my buddy took my boat out while I went home and replace the bunks. That heavy MFer slid right on and my Drottolatch hooked up on the first try!! Everything on the boat was working, and both motors started right up!! And the F.N trailer is finally done!! [/QUOTE]
