He's got one for the boat, one for the camper, 1 for the toilet hitch, and one for certain politicians?

Having a urdo today so doing a bit more work on the trailer.

Started fitting the body to find that the chassis got a bit distorted when welding together. Ball has a cunning plan to straighten it so hopefully that works

Does it involve a couple of bits of drag chain and the forklift?

Have it sitting on the tyres, springs and axle look to be great quality.
All the running gear, bearings, hubs and hitch etc are rated at 1600kg or better except for the springs which are 600kg or so.
Looks awesome. :peaceout:

Had another URDO today so got stuck into the trailer. The body is squared up and glued down also welded the floor in. Boss woman is going to Darwin tomorrow and hopefully will remember to pick me up a pair of guards and tail gate hinges.
