I am getting ready to embark on a DIY project of converting the drop leg of my trailer from a pad to a wheel so I can move it without having to pickup the tongue of the trailer. Has anyone done this project to their overland trailer, if so please share. Thanks

If you've got a tractor supply near by, they usually have a wheel that bolts onto the leg in the trailer section. These can also be found online pretty easy.

Installation only requires a saw, drill and about 30 mins.

Thanks for the suggestion, I like that it is removable in case of clearance issues and for cleaning and replacement ease.
