This is my first build. After looking and searching for a trailer. I found this on eBay within a 6hr drive. This is what it looked like after I got it home. I had rented another trailer because I was not sure of it's ability to be pulled.
I had took it completely apart and sent the pieces out for sandblasting. Total cost so far was 600 trailer and 300 for the sandblasting. My project sat until late summer. I opted for a axle less suspension at a cost of about 700. Urethane primer on everything and I added POR to the frame.
I added about 18" to the tongue length. Removed the Pintle hitch and added the Kilby off road hitch. I purchased the 2" receiver stock(not sure what I paid). Welded some angles pieces in to accommodate bolts for the frame. Drilled and bolted everything together with grade 8 hardware.
At this time I am thinking about my tent choices. Also considering what to do with the tub floor. After the sandblasting I had pin holes and there were dents on the bottom.
