Cheer's, Neil.

Nope that's a new one to me. If your talking about the trailer rims.. No need as soon as I get my pup back next week (that's not my pup in the picture) then the boss man is going to have all new outside rims put on it for me.

Oh and to explain why I don't have my pup.

Well on the morning of March 30th, I left the house went and hooked up my trailers, did my pre-trip (and I do a real one not just kick the tire and look at the lights). I left the place where I park the trailers while home made two left turns the second of which I have to go through a dip in the road. After I made the second left and was heading out of the sub division to the highway, I look in my right mirror and I can see BOTH of my tires on the front of my dolly.

I pull over go back and look and the right side of the A frame on the tongue of the dolly had broke in half. Under further investigation they found that the metal had been cut some time ago, probably with a saws-all, and then a piece of DOT reflective tape placed over it.

I'm just darn lucky that I was not running down the road either loaded or empty when it broke.





The part between the arrows was perfectly smooth and straight. This is where is had been cut.
