Non stick cooking spray works well for tips and other stuff you don't wany splatter sticking to.... Like threads on bolts :) Even though I have a nearby CC with welding classes, I never took any. Hard to make the regular time allotment and they are not as cheap as regular classes. I am sure...

I was in your boat a few years ago. I ended up with a Millermatic 252 and have been glad I went for the bigger machine. At the very least, get a 220V machine. I have enjoyed the higher duty cycle of the 252 while practicing. No need to stop to let the machine cool. Definitely use gas, C25...

Nice rebuild. Getting ready to start my third as well. Pics of the inside? Do the sides open? I do agree, a solid top has a lot going for it. Security, simplicity, quiet in the wind, and actually water proof.

Thanks for bumping one of the great build threads here. Enjoyed going back and looking through thread.

Thanks for the info. Will start looking into these options. I realize a long wire or band specific dipoles are ideal but there are not always trees around. I will still probably buy a few dipoles for extended camp sites with trees. In the short term, I May end up trying a Wilson 5000 just to...

Stuff adds up quick. People that buy complete trailers probably save money over the long run vs trying to do it themselves. A lot of trial and error goes on while building yourself, which costs money. Parts don't fit, stuff breaks, etc. If you have to farm any work out (paint, coatings, etc)...

Wanting to get an HF antenna set up for my trailer and wanted to see what others are using. Currently using an Ed Fong J-pole for VHF/UHF on 12' mast, or will run it up a tree if there is one nearby. Radio is a Yaesu FT857D with an LDG YT100 tuner.

Nice country. Bacon looks good. I have had a few of the flatbed 116A3 trailers and used it the same way you do, as a mobile table. Never a shortage of flat surfaces to set things on. Did you make the rack?

Pretty camping areas. Don't see many builds of the flat bed 110X trailers.

Coming along well. Any plans for a wood stove? Looking forward to seeing the rear door(s).

Pats trailer is awesome. Your trailer does not have surge brakes. They are just hydraulic brakes that actuate when the tow vehicle brakes, the ring slides in a out of a housing. IME, they are jerky and installing a pin to back up is not practical. The surge actuators on the 110X series are...

Do you sell the spare tire carrier separately? Price?

Trailer also looks tongue high.

Mark, I will check with Grey Hound :)

Hard question to answer. Depends on your tow vehicle, terrain, how you drive, wheels/tires, what you consider fully loaded, tow vehicle to trailer geometry, local laws, etc. For our needs, the trailers pull and stop fine.

First load. Still a few small things to finish up on the first part of this build but and plans are already brewing for phase 2.

Not wanting to half *** anything, we decided the best route was to replace the axle. With our compressed timeline, a standard online ordered axle was out of the question. Since we both like the offset axles on the A3s and the parking brakes, we called a few fellow green iron fans. They were...

Just keeping the parking brakes.

Welcome and looking good. Who keeps running into the pintle ring?

Thanks Mark. Take your trailer on any trips this summer?
