Bent trailer jack dragging on a waterbar (repaired story)

[Sodo]

OK since you poor fellas aren't getting much action on TBN here's a story to liven thinks up.
I know y'all are on the edge of your seats.

Beautiful October day.....

Hooked the trailer jack on a waterbar......dang.

Peeled the jack body open like a tuna can.

Jack-knifed the trailer and hooked up a chain + chain binder to the hitch.

Here is the view from above. Notice the trailer angle. I will drive the truck ahead and straighten out, and it will pull on the bottom of the jack.

The view from the rear view camera. It wasn't very useful.

Straighten out the truck and out pulls real hard.

The gusset got in the way.

Cut it off with the sawzall.

All straight in 20 minutes, in time for dinner. Will re-weld gusset tomorrow.

By far I like the first picture the most. Glad you had no more damage than you did.
