Swing out trailer tongue extension question
About a year ago I saw a pic of a swing out tongue extension. I thought it was in the mod section but I can't find it. It was swing out and not pull out. Has anyone seen this pic/mod? I want to add this tongue to my trailer as the first step to reworking my CB on my X.

I have seen two One was attached to the side and swung out and the other which I preferred was attached to the bottom of the original tongue . This allowed a longer extension that would just clear the wheels of the trailer when folded back and also added strength by being directly under the original tongue. I will look for a pic but I dont think I have one . All you need is the pipe a pivot bolt a pin for the pivot arm and a coupler. Put some delrin washers b/w the two tongues and ouila

Don't know where the Mac trailer extension is, but here's another swing-out design:

I like that bolt on one at

Seems like a reasonable cost considering the time it would take to make a custom one. Looks like it would work on a Mac trailer without any modification.
I also like another product they are selling

Nifty simple way to get that old gas out and into the car or lawnmower.
