I bought the rims from 4 wheel parts and the tires are from priority tire outlet. I think the wheels are 15x8 with a 4 inch backspacing

Finished welding all the inner frame portion, leaf spring brackets and gussets. It’s starting to look like a trailer. Also welded up some shackles to 1/4 inch plate so I can weld them up to the rear frame

Here is a run down of what I had budgeted for my build vs the cost, including equipment that I had to buy to build it

I think the Smittybilt is very decently priced, specially the one without wheels. Sure it doesn’t have lights or many high end features, but you’re not going to find one like that in the $10,000 price range. Also the availability of off-road trailers is very limited and pretty hard to shop...

I can only go by my own build, granted I’m not really going for a super cheap build but once you add all the little parts and things that you didn’t think of, the price for a fully built trailer isn’t outrageous. I’m building my own and barely saving much money doing so vs say buying a Ruger...

So I normally work on the trailer at night and I apologize for the darker pictures, today I got home early and took some pics of the trailers progress today. Got the fenders in from compact camping solutions and they look great. Also moved the leaf spring mount further back and finished...

Greg, your build was what inspired me to tackle this build. I’m following a lot of what you did and a good amount of the same parts, aside from a couple of parts that were a little bit cheaper for me to find locally

I don’t know if they can make a kit like that but you can always talk to Justin and seee what he can do for you. Also got the frame material all cut and ready to weld.

It’s looking good

Got the steel for the frame and wheels and tires mounted. Also got some practice welds going to make sure this trailer doesn’t fall apart, like the Smittybilt ones.

Hello all, I’ve officially started my trailer build. I’ll be using an Anchor Mountain Overland DIY tub and lid kit. The steel for the frame has been ordered and I should be able to pick it up tomorrow. Frame will be 3x2x.120 Wheels will be D window gloss back steel running 31x10.5-15 inch...

a good welder, I recently got a Miller 211 and it welds a million times better than my old flux core welder could. Less splatter and nice clean looking welds

That was my ultimate goal, unfortunately we couldn’t see eye to eye on what that would require, I was going to get a discounted trailer to help them improve the design and help in the marketing section. Unfortunately I didn’t like the terms. I do wish them well and hope that they can prosper...

Steel prices have definitely gone up, I am trying to decide if I should build my own tub or buy one already made and just build the frame from that

Looks good, I decided to go another route with my trailer and will be building my own. Keep the post update, I’m pretty curious to see the final product. Thanks

Great build, can you tell me a ballpark figure of how much you spent building the tub? Thanks

Not mine, it was homemade. Here is the link https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/off-road-camp-trailer-build.171183/page-7

Very nice and set up and good luck with the sale

Very awesome build, your build has inspired me to start building my own. Hopefully I can get the funding to order a tub soon and go from there

It was probably me also, I found the listing on Craigslist since I know some people don’t check this forum very often. I’ll wait for your call today, thanks
