….. but whatever Image

It’s time for the trailers 100,000 km service - it’s 13 years old now and really beginning to show its age, has done a lot of dirt road miles and has been pretty well sandblasted underneath - didn’t really realise just how bad it was until we stripped it today to be honest.

Anyhoo - blew it apart ready to go to the sandblaster on Monday, made a shopping list of new lights, bushes, U bolts, brakes, etc ready for when it comes back

Looking at that surface rust, I recommend painting with something like Phoenix Paints Metalfix. Will save a lot of work getting bare metal.
