Chester,
With that damage, it would be about as easy to go ahead and put on a complete new A frame. That way you could make it extra long so you could have a nice big storage box on it. Or maybe an extra battery or two. It would handle better with a longer A frame too.
Good luck on your project.

Hi Chester,
I couldn't really tell from the pictures what kind of frame damage you have. I intend to jack up the trillium and look for cracked weld joints. Is there something else I should look for? Could you see your frame damage before you took the boler off? I saw on another web site there was a recall of trillium frames including my year so it's on my list. Windows first. Thanks for any pointers.

Hi Maggie
The frame is broken on both sides of the "A" frame itself.Someone had done a patch job,but not very good.Also there are a few cracks in and around where axil joins to frame.

Hi Guys
This Boler had about 12 bolts holding it down.I took boler off of frame by myself using a small hyd jack.I just kept blocking it up till I had clearence to pull frame out backwards.Took about 1 hr after bolts were un done.

WOW!
Ches, you are SO efficient! Hmmm, :chin I should ship you up to Red Deer for a week to help with mine. Then I could actually get some camping in this year!
Your improved frame looks great!

Holy smokes!
Ches rips out the old frame and slams in a new one faster than a speeding bullet.
I would still be thinking about doing it!
Nice job Ches.

Hi Lainey
Don't be afraid to do something.,These are very easy to work on.Just look stop and think and you will be ok.Only rules I follow is not to put any holes in unit if I don't have to and if not sure ask lots of questions.If you go through all the old posts you will see some amazing mods that folks have done.
