Pulled in a messed up parking lot to get out of the way for a ambulance. When i pulled out i must have hit a pot hole amd heard a bang. Got home and went to unhook trailer.

I can see a torch and a 15lb sledge in your hand in the near future…

Don’t feel bad. I ruined my tailgate a couple weeks ago turning the trailer around with my tailgate down. Felt like such an idiot. Thank God for good insurance. $250 deductible

Now that’s real pretty… you couldn’t have bent it at that angle if you tried LOL some days I think wasn’t for bad luck we have none at all
Maybe ill just go back to that parking lot and back up into it.
Genius!

That’s the worst place for a Jack anyway. Weld you three 2inch hitch receivers to your trailer. One on the side of the tongue up front. And one. By each tire. Get a side mount trailer jack and weld hitch insert to side of jack. Now, by pulling a clevis pin you can move the Jack to the side if you get a flat and you can stow it parallel on the tongue.

Nevermind just seen parts was less than $100. Lets hope they have them in stock.
On a side note. A customer of mine has got me 2 nice jobs and he is very well known in my small town. Instead of giving him $20 off his next wash i got him this.
He just got his 3 year old son a sand box and i didn’t see any toys in it.
Going to mail it to him with a thank you note.

Zoomed in but it got blurry and couldnt see it. I get the idea though. Im guessing its better to mount them behind the wheel? It being connected to the ball on the truck should keep it all balanced.
Just get a side mounted tongue jack, like I have on the landscape trailer. Less cranking and it folds up out of the way. Light as your trailer is, will work great. Mine was like $20 at NT. Took all of 5 min to install.
Can you not get gets the bolts lose on yours or are they bent all to hell too?
