OK, heres the start of the first offroad trailer Im going to build. This one, as well as the next one, will be built by myself and another ExPo member. Im sure he will chime in as the first trailer is for him and is his design.
Didnt get much done this evening. We were in my driveway last night till 10pm with some of my kids sidewalk chalk and some steel laying it out. Im using 2" square tube for the frame. The sides and rear will be 1/4" wall and the front is 1/8 wall. The crossmembers will be 2"x1.5"x1/4 angle. We are going to build the axle since Ive got plenty of 2" tube and will be faster than having to order one.
The finished dimensions will be 72" long by 56" wide. There will be 18" of fixed tounge that will be extendable to whatever the owner chooses. The main storage area that has a yet to be determined height will measure 72" long by 31" wide. This leaves us 12.5" on either side of useable width. We dont know how much room we will have from front to rear until we get it mounted on an axle and some fenders fabbed up.
Thats about it right now. Nothing exciting to show, but I know how much I love to see pics...so...There will be another one built after this one along the same lines of design. It will be a little larger.
