Thought I would add that my trailer only weighed in at 750# before I put the basket on the front. That was with the spare mounted under the front also. That is about the same as the little Canadian military trailers.
I built this trailer a few years back with the intention of doing more with it than I ever have.( I changed the axle to 5x5.5 when I sold the Range Rover. I now have a CJ7 and I wanted the wheel pattern to match. The new axle is only a couple of months old. Came from ABC trailer parts.) Back...
East coast off road trailer.
I have a custom built off road trailer that i am thinking about selling. The Frame is constructed from 2x3 x .120 wall box tubing, the box rails and slider rails are made from 1.25 square tube. The diamond plate panels are 3/16 thick. All of the Lighting is LED...
I have driven one of those and after about 30 minutes behind the wheel you start to realize it is just a 4x4 dumptruck. And it rides that way. 8mpg is pretty dismal also. Atleast in an RV you could sleep in it.
Very BLING though.
I'll see if I can take some more pic's but here is my Shop. 30x45 Steel Span with a single 10x14 roll up door. I put this thing up myself with the help of some REALLY GOOD friends. I also did all of the wiring. the shop has it's own electrical service( 200 Amp). Piped in Compressed air...
Towes Great down the road. The touge is just long enough to jackknife the Jeep to 90* without hitting the basket. Also lets my tire carrier open fully. In tight trails it does track alittle more inside of the turns than it did before with the shorter tounge. Also backs up much better now!
I built the trailer about 3 years ago so steel/Alum. were a good bit cheaper. Back then I got 2 sheets of 3/16" Diamond plate Alum. sheared to size for $380. Less than $150 in the steel. Again those prices are 3 years old. I would expect 30 to 50 % more now.
I am new here but have been reading quite a bit. This is my trailer. Originally built to be multipurpose camping/utility. Now I have a pick up truck so this trailer can start the transformation into an Expo trailer.
The basic design consists of a 4'x6' box 19" deep with a tailgate. Spare...
Well I wasn't really considering a slide-in camper per say. But building something like a camp module, to load into the trailer. I guess it would be like taking the Chaser style trailer and setting it inside my trailer box.
I know it sounds like I am duplicating structures but really would...
I am new here but have found so much great content that I feel comfortable asking this question.
I built a trailer for everyday use that I could also use off road
The inside deminsions are 48.5" wide x 6' long x 19" deep. with a tailgatge.
My idea is to build a slide-in style camper...
