Being on the road for us is always an adventure. Now with the car running smoothly, the trailer we were given had a few issues.
Three U bolts snapped and bent turning our trailer into a mess of scrap metal. Note the bend in the axle. Both shocks were bent and the tire on the right was ruined. The whole trailer took flight and attempted to take us with it. Perhaps flying to Kalacha would have been a better idea.
After unloading everything and hauling it to Loglogo, friends hauled the trailer bed in their truck.
At a friend's house, Eddie begins the big job of creating a new axle with a new suspension system. You can see the trailer bed behind him on the left.
Trailing arms, shocks and springs were a gift from another missionary in Kenya.
Eddie puts his welding skills to use.
Trying to make it "just right."
Underside of the completed job and a whole new suspension is installed in less than a day.
The improved trailer completed.
