The adventure continues….
Four steps forward three back. The trailer was stripped of all planking, sides, gravel and wood chunks. So I took the jeep over to pick it up. On one jack stand the weld was broken. Still held up by the secondary stand. I carefully backed the jeep into position. Then I tried to lower the…
