    thats kinda what I had in mind, air cylinder tommy lift style folds out then drops at enough angle to hit the ground with the bags dumped. as long as it is away from the normal trlr thing, just trying to put some ideas I had rumbling around in my head to use probably be more trial and error before its done and I,m sure it will probably get sold when it's done anyway. a totaly custom cycle trlr for some rub out there, probably have to install one of those chingadaras k-b mentioned so it will sell:roflmao: keep going with all these little ideas nobody but a rub will be able to afford it.

    the lift gates i have worked on were hydraulic/12v.....and cables and pulleys....worked really slick. i think harbor freight has one for a pickup that could be adapted to a trailer....piece of cake!!!!!!!!!!!:)

    ain't done much this half (home time) rode a couple of days, ordered the sheetmetal to get broke, and trying to cut the cost by trying to pick up wheels hubs spindles etc. on the auction sites got alot wrapped up in this little project already picked up the decking and the paint and some rino lining cold app. trying to locate some cheap rear fenders off some thing like touring model bikes but that is more on the later list. other then that it's back to oregon and work hope it is warmer I am definantly ready for the heat.

    got back and instead of the little project of a trailer its pull the engine and trans on my sons nova it decided to say nope don't think so on the way to town the other day and now I've pulled the eng and trans to reseal the pan and rebuild the trans so the trailer is on hold again. so just thought i would drop a note and get back to work, enjoy the ride.

    it can be challanging getting things done being out of town about 70% of the time, then playing catch up when I get home,:banghead: pulled the trans down last night and found the friction discs shot start cleanning and putting it together to day and the intake and pan gaskets on the eng, should be done in time to head back to nevada for work then next round home it will be replacing the fuel pump on the dodge,:gah: so the trailer ison hold till later, but I look at it this way spring is coming soon and the need for the trailer to get it over the drifts will be need less and I didn't work any where it wasn't snowing this year anyway,:mad: so I'll have till next fall to finish it (this reminds me I need to get a new rear on soon also):D

    well got the trans rebuilt, the eng resealed, reinstalled all is well, returned this half, picked up an injection pump and fass fuel pump, almost didn't get it back to the house before it gave up, 15000 miles on a bad pump ain't to bad, anyway got the pump changed out the fass system installed, got the pod lights on the bike, and fabed up another mirror stanless panel, and installed it, where the down tubes infront of the battery box, behind the rear cyl. cover all the factory holes, cleaned the shop and today i fix the chicken coup door, then back to nevada, maybe i can touch on it when i get back mid month..........unless it's nice then I don't have to tell you where I'll be:biker: :cheers:
