Mouhahaha Posts: 1786 Location: British Columbia	Has anyone ever replaced the front aluminum on a horse trailer? What did it run you? It is aluminum on steel frame with checkerplate on the base. Both the aluminum and checkerplate are dented. Last night we were going up the driveway at the indoor and it was a sheet of ice under the snow and we were about 3/4 up the hill when I lost traction and the **** thing pulled me back like a hockey puck down the hill. Fortunately the ridge of snow stopped us but we had enough momentum that it turned the trailer and jacknifed against my truck. Edited by TMEquine 2018-01-28 5:50 AM
