I went with 3"x4" .120 wall.....mine is a lot heavier.... You should be fine even off road. As far as frame design I'd start over.....as mentioned before, main frame rails should be continuous.... Sorta like mine. My tongue is 3x3x3/16. I don't have pictures of it but both small boxes...

Mine is 9' long im also running a full size rig and a family off 5.

So I had some time on my day off today, I was working on the trailer getting some parts installed. Here's me putting on the coupler, torquing it down the spec. Old-school way of setting the bead on tires While I was mounting the tires I lowered the Jack a little bit so I didn't have to...

I built my own custom axle similar to this but, I used a sterling 10.5 axle ends. My trailer will be pushing 5k and I used .250 wall tubing, more than enough. As for yours the I would use the .250 wall just to be sure, you don't want to dent the tube or have it bend on the trail. Also don't...

The trailer should be making progress here shortly.....everyday I've been getting Bowes in the mail or the wife has been picking up parts for me. Pic will be coming soon.

I have an ICON 7" lift in mine and run 37's with ever so little rub at full flex. Also they ride really nice. Just thought I'd add my .02

2000 Excursion with a 7.3 PSD,37x12.50's on steel wheels and full size spare inside. 7" lift all springs(dang they are heavy/12 leafs per corner)No bumpers/no armor. Loaded for weekend(3day) with myself and 2 other adults and 3 kids.

Depending on how difficult the roads you plan on going on, depends on what the trailer needs. I would make sure all the wiring is well protected along with some sort of protection for any light that "stick out". Other than that just make sure trailer is good shape and well maintained.

That sounds like a good deal for aluminum. If it is overkill, is it going to be to big for your tow rig or just for your gear. It's always better have to much room than to much stuff. Just a FYI it is a long road to go down to build your own trailer, but I feel it is worth it.

As for mice a couple of bounty dryer sheets works great for keeping them away.

It can only be done with a full-floating differential.

I am going use gear oil. I'm having A shop build custom axle ends with pop out plugs like semi trailers have. Just so I can keep an eye on oil levels and quality. Also going to install a drain plug for the whole axle housing.

Thank you.....your trailer is the one that gave me the idea.....and the one I've seen behind a bronco.

Sub'd just to see if I can get any ideas for my build. (Build thread in sig) Looking great, love them stickman.

Haha, guess I uploaded to many pics at the same time to 3 different forums, used to much bandwidth had to pay for photobucket. Pics can now viewed in the thread, lol
