My scratch built expedition style trailer build up thread

[Rezarf <><]

we'll be waiting.........slow coach...

I should have taken the challenge....I didn't guess you'd take a month off....:arabia:

You should have taken me up on it, but I did get a week of wheelin' in at Moab two weeks ago!

No blue today, the weather didn't quite hold for my paint to flash quickly enough so I will wait out the weather this week and spray it when it warms up a bit. I am going to sand a few runs out and seal all the edges with an acrylic sealer I have then she's ready to squirt!

Here are a few highlights from today... the primer is actaully a cool green/grey color, kinda military like!

Glad to see i'm not the only guy to buy a square die for my JD2. You have definitely given me some ideas of things to do with it other than roof racks.

Looking good.

Square is the way to go! I made my fenders with some bent square tubing as well!

To quote Huey Lewis and the News "It's hip to be square!" I too have a square die for my Pro-Tools 105 bender.

I'm really liking what I'm seeing in this thread. I may have to copy your general design for when I get my trailer started.

Sprayed all my interior panels white...

...why?

Ever tried to find something at night inside a black box? Ever tried to search for something at night inside a white box? It will help my little LEDs spread the 'luminus love in the evening!

Onto the pics...:REExeSquatsHL1:

Good Call! I suggested that MISF paint his under-dash area white for the same reason.

Here are a few pics after spraying the trailer down with 1976 Toyota FJ40 "smurf" blue.

It came out okay, I am stoked with how it came out, it should keep the rust down if nothing else

Nice. Very nice.

 

[The Adam Blaster]

Looks really nice, it's easy to see you took your time doing the paint!
When are the onistripes going on?

 

[Rezarf <><]

Started assembly today... it is coming together nicely!

Still lots to do, if I knew then what I know now... AT is the best deal on the planet for a quality trailer! But it has been awesome building this myself too:sombrero:
