I am planning on jerry cans on sides behind each tire. No spare-- just using the one on the 90. D90 width is about 71". Brand new frame= new axle position anyways..-- so have an empty mounting slate...

Well the weather is moving in and the frame is all covered so it won't rust and that is perfect timing as all my big parts are coming on Friday and Saturday looks like a great build day! There are a couple things I have not decided on yet. #1: Spring over or under axle? I can gain height by...

I just finished welding my frame and had to flip it to finish the welds on the underside. Just put the tongue on a saw horse or table and then have you and a buddy grab the back and rotate it. The tongue will just roll on the sawhorse like a rotisserie (so start it on the side and it will...

Thanks, Silvrzukii77---- I got them ordered!

Another big day. Got the triangulation done, flipped the frame, welded the other side. So the majority of the cutting/welding is done for the most part. Got the axle ends on the axle, paralleled them the best I can (after a lot of fiddling) and got them welded up. Trial fitted the C-jacks...

It was a good day---lot of welding, grinding, fitting and measuring. Got the majority of the frame welded with the exception of the triangulation in the front and the shock hanger cross member that I will do tomorrow. Then flip the frame and weld the bottom along with figuring out the Bal...

Did you install your shocks? I'd love to know how it is working with those springs!

Let the frame cutting begin!! Still no choice on springs, but I am leaning toward the Trail-Gear Samurai +3 springs. Started to get late and I have neighbors with babies so that was enough for a late afternoon...

I'll look into the multi leaf packs for sure. Is there anything to watch out for in going too long a spring? As I have been trying to make decisions, I see many sites just list the load rate and not spring rate. It seems that I would want to know both my load rating and my spring rate...

And miles to go before I sleep... I am going to be on a steady diet of doing a little more each day so I can get this done and go camping! So tonight was one of the harder nights (from a tedious standpoint) and I grinded down the ends of the hubs to prepare them for the axle and then took a...

I am ready to order some leaf springs for my Fleetwood Neon Pop-Up build. Although leaf springs might not be the ideal suspension for my use, it is direction that I am going for right now so I would like to put my best foot forward. I am building a new frame to put the existing trailer frame...

picked up the steel for the frame and axle-- and pulled the rotors and calipers along with a replacement stub axle (one had spun a bearing and was fouled). I'll start cutting the metal in e next couple days and grind and weld the axle. I still need to decide on spings and order the...

Super cool! i can't wait to hear how the springs work out for you. I order my steel tomorrow--we differ in that I am still going forward with a complete new chassis under the trailer for a couple reasons, the biggest being I want a rear point recovery in case I get hung up on the rocks. Next...

I'm no expert in axles, but I am currently building my own axle for my build. I believe that you need to take into account the tire width, not just the rim width. For instance, in my case, my rims are 16x8 but my tire is 10" wide, so the tire sticks out 1" from each side of the rim...

Wooohooo! Mine arrived safe and sound and looks awesome!

Really great job! What size/gauge tubing did you end up using for your frame and tongue?

which spring kit?

Parts are coming in! I'm gonna use 31" C-BAL jacks at each corner--they are heavier than I thought. Man, weight adds up quick. I also got the electric-over-hydraulic brake actuator to power the rover brakes and I got a lockable drifting brake (hydraulic) to go downstream of the actuator...

Since the tow rig isn't black, I'd leave it, or do both tow rig and trailer both black.

Payment sent for one black with white logo Thanks!
