black zj check pm. Switawi small world huh. I have moved on from the 10 ton tic tac. the tub alone on that thing weighs over 200lbs. Thanks for all the comments. Any body got a pioneer tool trailer they wanna sell? I would like to see pics and location regardless of how far away it is...

Great stuff guys keep it comming. BTW my wife says thank you to those who talked me out of my lil heavy trailer I wanted to buy. THis is info may seem a lil basic but for a newbie like myself it great thanks.

I can see what you guys mean by heavy, for the size I think you guys are right. I think I can do a lot better. Thanks for setting me on a better course. I tend to be excitable, thanks for the perspective. I love the utility bed builds I have seen on here. That was actually my initial idea. but...

I am absolutly inthrawed by the subject matter and lifestyle of this forum. I am searching for my rig. I have found one but not acuired it yet, going to pick it up soon. I cant wait to share. I am quite the gear freak and into all the bells and whistles. Being new to the forum and overland...

weighs just at 900lbs.

guys, if i can just get the pics up you would see how sweet this thing is. as far as your lightweight custom ordered trailers turn key and delivered A: my pockets arent that deep b: i love diy c: where is the fun and creativity in that? I didnt start golfing with ping clubs, and did start duck...

Okay, how in the world do I get freakin pics on this thing? Dang!

Took a back ranch road home today for this very reason. This thing is a u-cart concrete dump trailer. 42'X60" , heavy duty axel and breaks. I will lose sleep over this thing because the rancher said he'd have to think about selling it. Check out the pics, man the possibilities!!! I'd...

Thanks, I was just wondering where in the world to weigh this thing. Just about any truck stop should have the right scales. Good call. Thanks for your patience as well.

Oh my gosh you read my mind. I want to do the exact same thing. I think it may be a little much for my Fj. I have a neighbor who has one for $250 right up the street. But that thing is increadibly heavy. Would make on heck of a tailgating rig come football season though. Can you imagine a...

Thanks guys. All good information. I have found a pioneer tool trailer I would love to rig up nicely. The identification labels on these trailers says the GVW is 3000lbs. That puts me on the high end before I even put in a sleeping bag. Any thoughts? Does the GVW on these old military...

have you guys seen or heard of a pioneer tool trailer? I have found a couple for sale, and my mind is full of the endless potential. However I think the dry weight is like 2500lbs or so. I think it is pretty dang cool though. I think they are classified as 3/4 ton military trailers. Too...

That is good information. Thank you. Are there any other issues in having this size set up I need to know about? WOuld you recomend increasing the braking system on my fj? Thank you for your insight. 3500lbs shouldnt be too hard to stay under. ( I dont have that much stuff) :)

No? Nothing? Is there a better way i should ask my question? I really want to make sure i start with the right project. I have found a pioneer tool trailer from the late 70's. Endless possibilities. Do you guys think this set up would be too heavy for my fj and sandy muddy terrain?

Hello all. I am brand new to the forum and am pretty excited about it! I am wanting to build a custom offroad trailer to pull behind my 2008 Fj Cruiser 4.0l (35/12.50 Toyo MT). Even with the lift and tires I seem to have plenty of get up and go on the highway. I am wondering what weight range...

Hello all, new to the forum very first post! I have a 2008 fj lifted on 35" tires. Runs great plenty of power. Looking for trailer project. Very much looking to diy. What is a weight range i need to be under to help insure i have as few issues as possible?
