Thumbs up

Just built up a homemade utility trailer from a old "Burley Child Carrier Trailer", I found for cheap! Found a great TUB to put in it and got it all together and mounted up on Feb. 1. On the 2nd. we took it out for it's first Test Run and it pulls GREAT!! Sadly our almost 30 year old Ford Ranger we've had for the last 2 years is having transmission and other expensive problems so we will be "CAR FREE" again soon. We were CAR FREE for 10 years before 2019, when my lovely wife Jo had a heart attack in Jan. 2019, I made a deal with my brother for his old "junk hauler/yard" truck as due to having constant hospital and doctor/specialists visits in WINTER I need fast and convenient transportation!!!!! Now 2 years later Jo is doing very well and back to being strong enough to ride a bicycle easy! So the old beater truck was NEEDED but it's time and mission is about to end and I needed a trailer so we can get FOOD and larger items. Bit of a PIA to have to haul a trailer and bikes up stairs to our 2nd. floor apt. but it's doable. Since we are now have ONLY our meager Social Security Retirements for our sole income we can NOT even dream of affording another PU truck! As they say: what comes around goes around and for us that is true, The "RIG" as I call the bike and trailer combo will do the job now!



The "RIG" is alive!! LOL!
