Trailer becomes a frame machine
Most have seen pictures of several of the trailers I have built over the years.
This one I made about 20 years ago for a guy but it stays with me more than with him. SO half the time I call it mine.
When Bob the actual owner wants to use it he borrows it from me LOL
Bob bought this 2007 ranger pickup with some front end damage. Brought it to me to replace the grill and bumper and straighten out the fenders
Well I found that the frame was bent more then he thought so I decided to use the trailer as a frame machine to straighten the frame
