A big HD flip up wheel on a trailer is a nice thing for a bigger trailer. For a relatively light trailer it just needs a kick stand. So I made it one.

Second mod was due to a 400 mile trip listing to the tongue slap around in a loose cradle, wtf was the manufacturer thinking! Now it's a tighter fit but still tilts.

If you really don't need it to tilt or have the tongue come off for any reason just weld that tongue down and be done with it.

The Snow-Bear trailers are really a Jack of all trades, Master of none.   You can dial it down to just a few intended uses and make it a Jedi Master of those.   Remove a lot of the slap and slop by removing all the unnecessary hinges, bolts and pivoting dodads and weld all that down solid.

I take all your advice to heart Insayn but keep in mind this will be my do all in one trailer, so if one of my buddies has his motorcycle break down... I'm his call, if I need to move my kids I can without the one ton... If I need to haul 6 yaks I can.. The yak-rack will be custom built light enough to remove easily, sturdy enough to hold the boats, diversified enough to keep the gear onboard and locked up dry.
In other words I want my Jedi night to be a master of several trades with a few parts swapped  :banjo:

We have just named the Mojo trailer the "The Jedi".
