Title: Convert Trailer Tongue - DIY?
Post by: RainbowMan on July 21, 2014, 11:18:23 AM: I have a regular EZ Loader 16' trailer with a regular tongue and I need to convert it to a swing tongue to save some garage space. Any idea if this could be done as a DIY project? If not, who can do it for me and how much is it going to cost me? Should I also inform ICBC when I do this liek what you have to do when you customize parts of your car??

Thanks, guys. I'll order online. Sounds like a weekend project to install.
