I stumbled across this "homemade" utility trailer on craigslist, and for the $100 asking price I couldn't pass it up. I haven't picked it up yet, as I won't be in the Indianapolis area for a couple weeks, but I wanted to share it and my plans with you guys. It will mainly be used as a utility trailer around the house, and as a pack mule for camping/wheeling trips.
Basic specs (per the CL listing):
4'x6'
all steel construction
straight axle w/leafs
Only known issues - lights may/may not work and it needs a hitch coupler. Keep in mind I haven't seen it yet, so it may need more work, but for $100, I can always resell it or probably scrap it to get my $$ back if it is really rough.
Pics:
The plan right now is to get it home, put on a proper coupler (LokNRoll would be sweet, but is way out of my price range), re-wire it and re-do the lights. I'll probably go through and re-pack the bearings as well. Eventually I'd like to sand it down and paint it Krylon Flat Tan or Krylon OD.
I will definitely post more pics once I get it here, and along the build process.
