What do you think about this?

Hello from the Granite Capitol of The World,
Homemade 5'x10' flatbed utility trailer. Made by my grandfather to haul smaller loads of granite monuments years ago. For the ones that do not know what they are they are head stones, but most of the time larger. A monument usually weighs between 500-3000 lbs. So the trailer's main frame is built out of 2"x3" .250" wall channel while the 5 crossmembers are 2"x3" .250" wall channel. Axle is a narrowed 3500lbs, 5"x5" bolt pattern on chevy ralleys. The spare tire mount, I added mainly for a anchor point to use an come a long to pull up scrap metal. And this trailer is HEAVY it is seriously probably pushing 900lbs by it self. I am just curious to know what it would take for this thing to be a decent Expedition Trailer??

And on a side note I am just curious who knows about the Georgia Guidestones?

I don't know about what you could build up on it (I guess whatever your pocket book and imagination will bare), but just the shear fact you Grandfather made it, makes it pretty much priceless in my book.

Have fun with it and good luck,

Pat

Perfect for a teardrop trailer

I agree, A tear drop trailer build or make an elevated rack and keep toys under.
RTT on top quad, bikes, water toys.................
Axle flip for added height and maybe a bob on the rear to remove a little length.



The Georgia Guidestones is a large granite monument in Elbert County, Georgia, USA. A message clearly conveying a set of ten guidelines is inscribed on the structure in eight modern languages, and a shorter message is inscribed at the top of the structure in four ancient languages' scripts: Babylonian, Classical Greek, Sanskrit, and Egyptian hieroglyphs.

The structure is sometimes referred to as an "American Stonehenge".[1] The monument is 19 feet 3 inches (5.87 m) tall, made from six granite slabs weighing 237,746 pounds (107,840 kg) in all.[2] One slab stands in the center, with four arranged around it. A capstone lies on top of the five slabs, which are astronomically aligned. An additional stone tablet, which is set in the ground a short distance to the west of the structure, provides some notes on the history and purpose of the Guidestones.

In June 1979, an unknown person or persons under the pseudonym R. C. Christian hired Elberton Granite Finishing Company to build the structure

I didnt think about the kayak and MTB being transported on the trailer. This thing could no means be a trailer you take to the rocks due the rocks but for what my truck it can do its perfect. Is there any way to put longer leaf springs under it for a little more flex?

And I am just curious to how many people kno about the stones. All of us from Elberton are amazed at how much attention they attract, when we do not think they're all that.

That happens when you live near them. I see the northern lights all the time, and think very little of it. Same goes for the never ending daylight every summer... But then I've lived up here for the last 12 years (and on and off for 10+ before that), so I'm used to it and take it for granted.
