    Help me narrow it down: retail trailer edition

    Have you looked at the offerings from TAXA? The Cricket or Mantis might be up your alley. The wood used looks to be quality ply and not pressboard. Mantis is 19ft I believe, but the Cricket is 15ft and has a lot going for it. It was their first model and has had more time for them to work out...

    My M101A2 Build Photos

    I had a similar idea, but was wondering what do do about that inner radius. I don't have access to a mill, and don't think that my grinder hand is steady enough. This would be my first foray into welding, and don't think I would do well welding two flat bars of steel for 8 feet straight either...

    My M101A2 Build Photos

    I want to build a rack for mine, but will likely only hold a kayak and maybe the occasional bits of lumber. I noticed you went all the way down the sides with yours, but do you think it would be strong enough to rest it on the lip of the trailer? Maybe make something that goes down into the...

    Bedlining a trailer?

    I'm making plans for an old M101. It's a 6x8' trailer, so doing the whole thing would be super pricey. I'm contemplating lining the inside, but even then it's a lot. I got the trailer for free, and I'm living on a teacher's salary, so I'm going to have to convince my wife to spend anything on...

    Bedlining a trailer?

    Cost? I've thought about it too, but the cost of some flat paint with enough for touch ups seems much lower than painting the whole thing with Bed liner.

    Expo Trailer Build flatbed, rooftop tent, teardrop style kitchen box on back

    I enjoyed the originality and ingenuity on your last build. Looking forward to seeing this one shape up too. I need to gain some building skills before I attempt one of these.

    need help identifying M101 trailer

    So this trailer has been in the family for a long time. I don't remember a time when it wasn't around, and I'm almost 29. Its been all over the southwestern United States and into Baja Mexico a few times too. My Dad passed away a little over a year ago and nobody else has expressed any interest...
