It if were my trailer, for a standing table, I would loose the fenders and make a table that ran the length of the trailer that also serves as a fender (similar to stock trailers). May not be as deep as you want but the length should be good. For a sitting table, I use tables made to slip into...

Paint came out very nice. I have a BOB taking up precious garage space too.

Containers do fit well. Just need some wider fenders for trailer and tow vehicle.

Looks good. How is the fit at the tip of the a-frame? Planning to weld it or just bolt.

Good call on the fire extinguisher and nice install. I usually pack one and keep one handy while working/cooking outside.

Well done. Sounds like you have some nice friends/family. I just got a set of those tires for my truck and am kicking around getting them for my trailer too. They look good.

Going to add some weights as I finish swapping things around. Lots of variables but some decent info for items pictured. Tan Frame/Extended Tongue = 1060 lbs Tan Frame with 101A3 Tub = 1580 lbs Black Frame with 101A3 Tub = 1260 lbs Black Frame = 740 lbs 101A3 Tub = 520 lbs 116A3 Chassis...

Thanks Mark. You motivated me to make it happen.

Yes. I run the intact 7 wire as far as I can though. Could also just use 7 wire as is for jumpers but only use three wire. Wires would be protected and you would only need one size of wire clamps.

I buy jacketed 7 wire by the foot and put my own plug on. It's cheaper and you have control of each wire's function. I separate the 7 wire to make jumpers from lights to junction box. Also ground everything to the junction box.

Nice seeing pics from owners. That trailer for 12.5K seems like a bargain.

Wanted to take both trailers to car wash to clean off some old mud. Maiden voyage towing doubles. Pulled fine, would probably do better with a loaded lead trailer. The new frame feels like it has more tongue weight than a stock trailer. The old frame is surprisingly light, so it is easy to...

Coming along nicely. Any plan for bunks?

Pulled the hubs, cleaned out old grease, and then serviced bearings. I use a tip greaser (chainsaw bar) to pack the bearings. You can see that it almost makes it all the way through from just one side. Paint can lid for scale. Finished up the electrical with 7 pin on rear bumper...

It does not look bad from the. Going to a spring over might be a bit much at this point. A ball mount with just a few inches of drop would probably get you where you want to be (and you can change it if needed).

I prefer to set mine up so that the tongue is slightly low vs level. When the trailer is loaded, it sets almost level. Depending on your set up, you may want to gain a few inches on the tow vehicle side and a few on the trailer side to help is look more balanced.

Looking forward to this build. How much does that workshop space run?

Wow. Looks like you did a great job. Nice to see it with some mud on it.

Thanks Matt. Your build is coming along nicely too. 6 more cans of paint and ran the main electrical.

I just used 3"x 1/4" flat bar. Pics are at the end of my build thread. Will do it a little different the next time and put the flat bar/gusset on the back side of the front cross member then make one of these from plate (grid = 1") to weld on front. You will probably have to add 1/8" to...
