Thanks Dan.

I got a little done on the frame today.
About a dozen more holes to drill & the frame will be done, after that comes the tongue section.
Then when the parts get here I can start on the axle.

Thank you Mark. I will post pictures of the frame next days-off.

If things work right I'll get a three day weekend :wings:

Most of the drilling is done. Then square up the frame & start on the tongue section.
I'll post pic's of the tongue to get some opinions on the A-Frame section.

Well looks like no 3 day weekend. Yes, I like the rain also all the fields around are turning green.

About 10 mins. ago it started to snow a little.
I sure hope Monday & Tuesday are nice. If not that's O.K. I can do some more mock up work!

Next on to the tongue section.
I could'nt decide if the a-frame should be out at the side rails

I'm hoping the 16 Gal. fuel tank will off set the 18 Gal. water tank in the back of the trailer box.

Then came the Springs. I have a set of Stock Samurai springs.

I disassembled them and made a couple of 5 leaf packs for the trailer.

We'll have to see how they work.

Now to finish the trailer box mock-up and then set it on the trailer to see how it will look.

Thank's everybody for checking out My Trailer Build :coffee:

I could work in your driveway for days! That is a beautiful view!
I like the wooden work stand you made, Less bending helps.
Looks good and great work on the springs. Keep us posted.

Trailers looking good. I may be bringing mine Trailer down that way for a shakedown run next weekend. Have time for some backroads?

Good design. I also love the mountain views. The only mountains around here have legs and a head
attached to them.. Couldnt resist..

Hey Everybody, I have'nt had much time to work on the trailer lately. But my Brother & I set up the 10'x20' carport on the front of the garage yesterday just in time for the rain. We call it our outdoor shop extension.

Well at least the rain brought some nice treats
