Cool on machining the wheels, I'll just put some 8:25 tyres on there to drop it down a whisker so it runs more level to the Dodge, I could put 9:00-16's on with the spare budd rims I have but besides the fact it would take a lot of machining and stuffing about it'd mod the trailer too much and basically look like sh..
I got this trailer as it's a good fit to the M37 unlike my little 6'X4' trailer (that I can't even see in the mirrors) and it'll fit the military set up quad bike better, I had extended the back of the Dodge a bit do reverse turning rate is reduced but it just means I have to take a few more swings at it, does remind me that I really have to make an effort to make that steering lighter, I have noticed the "armstrong power steering" is getting a little lame with age ![]() MM

Have just come across an image of a 'Corio' 1 ton trailer in use in South Vietnam. It has ROUND guards.
Can't post the image, sorry: you'll have to take my word for it. Mike C |

G'day Mike, loooong time no chat, would you be able to e-mail me a copy please? Purely out of interest and I can host the pic to put on here if you wish. It'll be a couple of months before I can get the time to work on the trailer with the view of making it road registerable, can you tell me what the 2 brackets with a large hole and 4 smaller holes under the trailer for? (Cable, Storage tube, Mystery Bit!!)
I'll let you ponder where we spoke Mike, involved taking what I think was B2 for a spin though... Best Regards - Tony Eagling

No, you bought it to Corowa in 2004 (year of the Dodge) and showed it to all, think it may have taken you a while to clean it after we had all been crawling all over it and I took a couple of ideas from it to use on my very modified Dodge M37(recent pic of it in the marsden matting thread) and I haven't changed my opinion on what I said to you, You DO have a seriously interesting and cool job

You know it wasn't until MM said that he had bought one of these trailers that I realised that I had a parts book for them in the REMLR archive if anybody needs a copy.
