Rog,
   I don't.  But as you know, I'm married. Hence, the need for a trailer in the first place. Not to mention all the other stuff that goes along with it.

Here is a pic of the original owner who goes by the handle "Digger".  I'm sure if Harley came out with that trike a few years ago it would be sitting in his garage today. Doc

Makes beer runs more efficient!  Easily holds many more cases than the saddlebags, tourpac and Anne...

Matt with Digger looking for all the parts that can be found to take home.  Doc

Lou,
    Thanks for picking that thing up with me yesterday.  As usual, a great time was had.  I'm going to use that hitchy thingy today to pull the trailer with the Explorer to get it over to my painter today.  Keep your fingers crossed.

...last note: After we got home yesterday I found out that Matt's is 10" longer that mine, but I've never had any complaints.    Doc

Don,
   Here are some pics for the hitchy thingy that I was talking about.  It's just like a trailer ball that mounts to a bumper,  but has the pin for a Heim joint for the Bushtec.

again...

Sorry for the confusion Don....Only one spare tire and wheel.  If I come across one..I'll send it your way.  Thanks again for your help.

No sweat Matt.  Just read skreminegul07's post and thought of something.  Did the Bushtec harness come with the terminator plug to keep the socket sealed up when not in use.  They do when you buy them new.  If not it's worth getting one.  That big six wire plug isn't something I normally see at the parts stores.

Don,
   I plan on getting the whole kit from Bushtec.  I also ordered the cheater plug on ebay.

That's it exactly.  The big spring clip was probably used on the pin that goes through receiver and hitch when they're installed together.  The ones I've got from Bushtec didn't use a big Jesus clip like that but a clip with a bail type handle on the end of it.  Probably easier to grab hold of.

The newer pieces are supplied with the hitch pin and hitch as an assembly that can't be simply unbolted.  If you get anything from them now it'll probably be something like this:

When you're spending money at Bushtec might also consider their little bolt on neck stand.  Just noticed your nose-down.  The little stand is a fold-up/fold-down affair that installs in a five minute bolt on.  Nice having the trailer level for loading and unloading. 

Oh, and they have that cooler addition also .

That's what Lou said.  I would assume that the one I get from Bushtec will look like yours.  Still, having one that can hook up to a car/truck will be handy to have around (on the road).  Any other suggestions before I start buying all the other associated crap I'll need???

Do you know a part number for the fender thingy???  Does it come color matched??? I'm taking the trailer to the painter this morning.
