Neat trailer design that I'm sure you'll adapt nicely. Great job on the frame.

Nd4SpdSe - I see that you were at Mosport on the outside heading into corner 2. I took the shot below in September when I camped on the inside of corner 2. I usually go a few times a year. I'll look for you next time!

I installed a similar lock on my trailer tailgate. The first thing I did was make sure that I could get replacement keys cut for it ... and I did. Several "off-shore" locks that are available today have stamped keys and they can't be duplicated according to a few of the locksmiths I have...

Mine's still under construction ... but I'm getting there. Next up is a counter over the fender top.

I had a Jeep cover stolen too and although it wasn't that expensive it was annoying. I decided to make a few and they turned out to be even less expensive. I picked up some cheap plastic covers from Princess Auto and a Jeep sticker pack from Canadian Tire. Total cost for each cover is...

I wish I'd thought of that! Nice work over all.

Nice job all round. :) I like the one piece tongue to rear receiver tube. You could turn that into a "rotisserie" with a couple of engine stands to speed up the frame welding process. Looking forward to seeing the fenders go on (have to agree with flat tops for table purposes) and how...

Nice job on the fender widening. Looking forward to your lid build. That's the point I'm at too. I think I'm suffering from "too many ideas".

^^^ I don't think so provided you're not trying to sell your product. You might want to check the site rules though.

I agree! This is a neat trailer. ahb1989 - You've put a lot of thought into this. We need more details! I'm also looking forward to what you decide for your exterior finish. As for mine, and I don't want to hijack your thread, it's still under construction. It's a "drive way" job...

I built a utility trailer about 5 years ago and went with aluminum panels for the box. It does require some maintenance but I figured it would be better than touching up paint. I use it pretty regularly for household purposes and to pick up used Jeep parts. It sits outside year round and...

Thanks wvtradbow. I appreciate the compliment. :) Mine is on hold for the moment. It's a driveway job and right now my driveway is snowed in! I have lots of inside projects to keep me busy. Among other things I'm building lots of small parts for it that I can run outside to install on...

Mine's still under construction but I don't expect to have any problems. I'm repurposing a trailer that had a large welder on it and "tighter" fenders so I should be OK. I've loaded it up but I haven't put it on the road yet. Here's mine ...

That sounds about right. I screwed 3 short pieces of 2x4's together, placed them on top of the tires, placed the fenders on top of the 2x4's and called it good. That's 4.5" vs. your 4.75" so we're in the same ball park. :)

Nice job wvtradbow ... and I appreciate the comments re my trailer build. Regarding a swing out spare tire carrier, I'd be concerned about hanging that much weight off the back end of your trailer. I think your axle is far enough back that it won't be a problem but it's hard to tell from...

I modified similar fenders for my trailer. If you "snip" them as shown in the pic below them become super flexible. Welding the gaps closed is also easy and brings back all of the rigidity. Honestly, it's a half hour job! Good luck. I'm curious to see how they turn out.

Road races at Mosport, Ontario in September. It rained all weekend. When it stopped for 10 minutes I decided to take a picture. Man I hate breaking camp in the rain!

Mine too. It looks like you're a step ahead of me.

Thanks. Lots to do yet. I just cut out most of the cargo area floor. No surprises really - it all has to be replaced. The uni-body frame rails are in great shape though!

I replaced the floor underneath the driver's seat on my XJ. Next up is the passenger's side.
