We picked up our 'Chariot'. This beast is gonna take our stuff to Florida. Jeanann's pretty excited. This will fit up to 4 horses, so it's pretty big. It has a new floor, good brakes, new tires, everything works, and we got a pretty good deal on it. It will even warn traffic that we're coming, by drawing everyone's eyes to it's beauty.
If we have a little extra left for the move I'd like to paint it. Rust is minimal. Not bad at all for a '72.
Jeanann is getting ready for the birthing. She was taken out of work this week, mostly because I was harassing her doctor. She want's to stay in I think, but I think it stresses her out too much. She has another apointment next week. If she really wants to go back, I wont stop her, but I hope she's done.
The explorer pulls it fine. The trailer weighs a bit over 2700 lbs. The tow capacity of the explorer is 5900 lbs. That means we can bring 3200 lbs of 'stuff' with us to florida. We still need a brake controller on the Explorer for the trailer, and we want to buy 'weight distribution bars'. They are supposed to help stabilize the trailer, and even increase the vehicles tow capacity a bit. Any improvement is worth it for such a big trip. I plan on tearing into the trailer a little to check brakes and bearings, doing a little maintanence on whatever I may find.
There's the belly. She loves her beautiful new trailer.
