You get the truck and trailer stuck too?

Well I’m broke down on the side of the interstate near rifle Colorado. It would appear that one of the leaf springs on my trailer snapped. It took out one tire only to discover it had snap after I change the other tire and it about got flat too. This throws a huge wrench in things considering I was going to try and get up over the pass today Before it snows this evening.

Damn!

Outside of purchasing a new trailer, what are your plans

I know even duck tape can’t solve all your current issues ... and it usually can!

I was thinking the same thing! Looks like someone is trying to trick us into believing they were playing in the mud

I have a Carson 5.5 x 10. One of the fenders has an area with no paint on the top where the tire rubbed and burnt it off after a leaf spring broke. I was on a gravel road, so the tire was ruined before I knew what had happened. Thought it was pulling funny, but not until I smelled the rubber did I stop to investigate.

That was the 2nd spring In relatively low miles. Seems like a weak point. Since then I try and carry a block of wood or something that can be Jerry rigged between the axle/bump stop in case it happens again .

Warm Coors? I guess you can get worse than cold Coors...

Lol. I’ll agree with that!

You throw a whole bunch of mud on on that to look like you did something cool?

can you put. a couple ratchet straps around the axle forward to get you to a trailer shop or a place that sells leaf springs

[joeymt33]

It’s gonna take like two days to wash all the mud off!

@100Acre this is a good idea. Had a friend strap his F250 axle to get him home. It’s crude but it does work. You’d have to keep speed way down

 

[Plumber32]

Um yeah.... what a shat show. I can testify to the superwinch 4500!

I spoke with at @southparcoloradoand he suggested jacking the trailer up & shoving a piece of wood in between the axle and the trailer. It worked and I was able to get it back over to my friends house about 5 miles away. I dropped off the trailer with the pioneer and now I’m heading to Denver so I can drop off my camper there in the morning to get the roof replaced from hail damage I got September. Tomorrow morning after I drop my camper off to get repaired, I will come back to rifle where there is a truck and trailer place where hopefully I’ll find the leafspring and if they don’t have time to replaceit, I will try to fix it myself. If I’m unable to get the springs in time or they take forever...whatever I’ll try to trade it in and get an aluminum trailer.

It’s out and it worked I was able to get it back over to my friends house about 5 miles away we dropped off the trailer with the pioneer and now I’m heading to Denver so I can drop off my camera there in the morning to get the roof replaced from hell damage I got September. Tomorrow morning after I drop my camera off to get repaired and I will come back to rifle where there is a truck and trailer place correct the spring and if they don’t have time to replace I will try to fix it myself.

Nothing better on a cool rainy day than Gumbo and Tater salad while watching football.

It could be better, get rid of the diet Dr Pepper and get a bud light!
