So while we have owned our Legend trailer since December of '21, in that time I had done little to personalize the interior.
Today I took advantage of the warm weather to add some color to the inside.
Going forward, Jon Carlson will be traveling with us.
OK, when I go to attach photos to this post, nothing more recent than last May show up to choose from. What's up with that?

Re: Swag for the trailer
Are you using a phone to post? With my Samsung it seems to stick photos in different folders on the phones memory. The photos all show up in my gallery but when I go to upload I sometimes need to find the specific folder the photo is in.

Re: Swag for the trailer
I only post here with the PC. As I have been doing for 20 years, I haven't changed anything. I can post pics to FB and my entire photo gallery comes up, but here all of a sudden, nothing newer than 6 months ago, except this one that was edited yesterday. That was a clue. If I modify a pic, it then shows up in the file for here. OK, so it appears that the pics taken with my phone are now in a format that is not recognized by something.

Re: Swag for the trailer
Like the Nutter's speed shop decal. How did you come across that one?

Re: Swag for the trailer
John Nutter gave me that sticker a couple of years at the Round Up.
Matt showed me how to quickly change a photo to a format the forum will recognize, so here is one more of the trailer.

Re: Swag for the trailer
Totally off topic, but the pic brings up an issue that I have been having. Do you have issues with your padlock freezing up in the winter due to road spray\freezing? I have tried a couple different locks but nothing seems to work and I have resigned myself to always bringing a torch, effective but a bit of a pain I'd like to eliminate if I could.

Re: Swag for the trailer
I certainly have had that issue as well. You can spray them with WD-40 before you leave on a trip, but under inclement conditions the padlock will probably be froze when you go to open the trailer. So I too carry a propane torch in the truck, understanding that if it gets really cold it many not work either.

Re: Swag for the trailer
What length trailer is yours? I’m going to be on the lookout for something to haul at least two of mine at some point but if I was to haul four in an enclosed what length would anyone consider minimum for four sleds? I’ve been considering an enclosed for other purposes as well (smaller lawn care tools/ seed and fert, moving of mine and another people’s “stuff”). Does anyone else use an enclosed snowmobile trailer with front/rear fold down doors for other things?

Re: Swag for the trailer
I bought the trailer new off a lot in December of 2021. It is a Legend Explorer, the box is 18 foot with a 5 foot V-nose, so 23' total.High Top wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2024 12:12 am What length trailer is yours?

I bought the Legend Explorer because it has a 7' wide interior WITH NO WHEELWELLS inside the box. That allows me to haul 4 vintage sleds side by side. Mid-mounts fit the best obviously. With the Cyclone beside a mid-mount I can still get between them, but it is tighter. If I had two of the larger frame sleds side by side, I probably couldn't get through. You would then be looking at putting the sleds in on an angle.
