Here's a few of the finishing touches. Mounted the vin tag on the tongue and had the sheriff come by and inspect it. The tags will be next.
Of course you have to have the bottle opener.
Wood inlay in the tailgate.
The wiring for the battery box. I know it's hard to see but it's a six...
Here's a few more pictures of the progress.
The main box open and the start of the roof rack.
Roof rack with the adjusters on it for the RTT.
Both boxes open.
If you look at the center of the tongue box you will see the winch for the generator.
Next it's going to be painted and then all the...
Looks great, do you have any pictures of the full set up while you were out with it? Also the wiring job is impressive, no doubt people think there is a UFO I the woods.
Dave it looks like you have some sort of a roof rack already on there (a good start). Reinforcing the fenders or maybe putting some kind of a ladder on the front or side might be helpful for loading and unloading.
Is there an option for built in cooking with the trailer (cook top next to the sink or something)? Also maybe I missed it but how much water storage do you have?
Good question, the bend has to be at least 9 inches apart to fit on the machine, so there's the issue, I think the second bend is 6 or 7 inches from the first. If they would put the second one in there it would save a lot of time.
Here's a few more pictures that I just found. This is the tongue jack from my trailer that was changed out. This trailer is a little taller so we will be able to cut the foot plate off and replace it with a wheel.
Here are some shots of the tub being built. At the metal shop you can get them...
So a few more pictures. The fenders were purchased at Northern Tool, they were not wide enough for the tires so the fenders were cut in half and extended a few inches to accommodate the tires.
Here's the fender on the trailer. You can see where it was extended on these pictures. You will not...
So the tongue box that he had on it was scrapped and he went another way with the box. The sheet metal had one bend put into it and the rest had to be welded together.
So here is the new box shape, the same as the trailer tub. No Harbor Freight tongue box here, it's all home made.
The tongue...
Nice and different. How does it travel on the road? Is there any issues with the stove being next to the side wall (heating it up too much) or ventilation? Looks like a great portable hunting cabin.
So here are some pictures of the second build, this was built from scratch. The more my brother works on them the better he gets. This is his second build, the third build will be his.
This is the frame being built.
The front of the trailer had to be able to carry a generator. The box on the...
Hey Thomas, the trailer has changed a lot since you had seen it last summer, we took care of the struts pushing the tub out of square. We also added a lot of other things to it, as I take it out or see something posted on here we make the changes. As far as documenting the other build we are...
The trailer looks great. I'm also wondering where you got the Trail Rated 416 sticker. I can tell you from my experience you are never really done with it. Each time I think I'm finished with it I think of something new or see some one on the forum with another good idea that I want to change...
Here's a shot of it hooked up to the car.
It looks good but I'm not sure I would call that a car. What type of vehicle is that? It looks BA. Are you going to put a tent on the trailer?
