Yes, the 2x3 was used that way to have more surface for the Timbren suspensions, 2x2 was already strong enough. The original idea was to try to make a weld-free design that could be packed and shipped light, then bolted on with average Joe tools and no deep mechanical knowledge at all. It was...

Deck is 4x6 I calculated a 700lbs of a bare frame, that was way off, total rolling frame with deck is 570lbs, wheels and tires are 130lbs. That would put the frame+deck+suspension at a 440lbs, believably the only frame+deck is less than 400lbs. I am tempted to weld it up and lose the bottom...

@Teardropper: I have to take it apart, paint each part and then put it back together. Wheels are installed. I weighted the full rolling frame, with suspension, tongue, wheels and tires (265/65R17), I am at 570lbs, tongue weight when unloaded is 60lbs, I am at 10.5% Considering that I way...

Yes, a wooden decking that has been cut to shape goes in it, that will give me a flat floor. True again, HF has a bolt on frame, I wanted to use that same idea, just in a better format (not wonky C-Sections tubing). I am already designing a new plan for my next version that solves some of the...

I meant that I am assembling it too close to the ground, once it's bolted together it will be heavier and more cumbersome to lift, I have to raise it another 2ft to be able to install the suspensions... I'll have to use all the jacks that I own :D

Frame is assembled I had to pass in some of the holes with a 0.5in drill bit as plates and tubes cutting tolerances are not the same and sometimes you are just unlucky. Noted for next build. I got the Timbren Axleless suspensions too, my biggest mistake is that I build this thing too close to...

Everything showed up and I am starting to assemble everything. I am using a Curt hitch as a receiver, if I am not mistaken it's for a Jeep Wrangler, the front tube fits perfectly and was drilled and reinforced to hold it. I plan to eventually also use a secondary bolt point for the hitch if...

Steel tubing is 0.120 Gusseting plates are 0.250 Floors are 0.120 What is your tubing thickness? It's too late now to reorder steel, next one I will definitely change design to make it lighter. I will weight it once it's all bolted on and if it's too heavy I will remove the gusset plates and...

Hello everyone, this is my first post here after a few years of reading discussions and learning, I am Matt and I live in Norther California, moved here a few years back from Italy and after getting my toes wet with offroad camping, I decided it's time to build myself a trailer to haul my stuff...
