True but I do like trucks so you don't have to worry about hooking things up or worry about if it's still hanging out back there when you're cruising down the road. Then there's the whole backing up which, while not too hard, still trips me up a bit. ha!
Congrats on the new Land Rover! I thought you purchased two white trucks, at one point. Did you get rid of both? Man, I can’t believe your mom had that flat bed in the backyard. Seems like that would have come in handy sooner. 😉
I had a grey one that was my driver but it was in rough cosmetic shape and did have almost 300K on it. Did run great though. The white one had a shot engine but was in great cosmetic shape. I bought it cheap to put the fancy things on the grey truck but I ended up just parting it out instead of swapping the parts. Still have a few parts left. Sold the grey one before it broke down and I was looking to go back to an 8' bed truck but then I couldn't find one for a good price. Was able to pick this Rover up for just $2200 cause it had a few issues. Fixed the coolant leak and the brake issue so I can drive it but I'm sure there is going to always been some little thing wrong with it. Yeah I've had that trailer sitting at my moms place for about 5 years now. Didn't need it having a truck and all but now it's def going to come in handy again. Bought it about 20 years ago. Been one of the best investments I've ever made.
I had a pavilion with the exact same metal-frame, very flimsy.I put it up and the next wind blew it up into a tree. If there wasn't a rope dangling down that i could grab I would have had a hard time to get it back. So I used all the straps and ropes to fix it better. The next day the wind blew slightly harder and ruined it completely. So i took a look to the instructions again and found the following words: "Only for inside use". Were they kidding me?
Opps 😮
For real.
Spray some flex seal over roof top seams to seal it ?
Thanks! Yeah, I have a wax type seam sealer made for tents and I was thinking about using that.
Utility trailers are so much better than having a truck! You have the bed when you need it, and you have enclosed storage all the time!

@@smileygirl1840 nice! Sad he doesn’t post so much these days. Welcome!
Are the legs/metal sturdy on it? I need a metal frame to put chicken wire on and use as a chicken run
Good idea! Yeah it would def be good for that use. You can probably find one like this that doesn't have the cover anymore for free on marketplace.

@ oh yes, one truck was for parts. I remember you said that. Well you’re moving up now. That was a great deal on the Land Rover!

Inside use only!?!?! OUch! So crazy! But yeah these things are not well built for sure.
