So if I loose another .5 by increasing the BS to 4, that would mean 1.125 increase, so I would be down to ~.5" of clearance Thanks

On my cargo trailer, my current tires are 205/75R15 on wheels with 3.5" of backspacing. There is 5.5inches from the wheel mounting surface to the side of the trailer. I have a set of 235/85R16 tires. I want to mount them on 16X7 wheels but can only find wheels with 4" back spacing which is...

Thanks, I have been thinking about doing a spring over lift and new tires

Some moe progress... I insulated the ceiling with 1" foam board White FRP on the ceiling. I trimmed the edges with pine stop painted gloss white. I repurposed some quick fists to keep the bed from sliding around I put in attachment points to keep the boxes in place Hard to see but...

What is the long piece of 2x3 for? Just to lines things up? Also get another wheel from your buddy for a spare!

That is a sweet set up. i looked for a 13' but coul not find one and ended up with a cargo trailer.

Thanks. It was relatively cheap too. I bought a 2x4 piece of oak plywood at Lowes for ~$18. I think a full sheet is around $50. If the finish doesn't hold up or if I change my mind, I can always cover it with vinyl or even ceramic tile.

Got some more done on the trailer. I made the counter top. It is 3/4 oak faced plywood with a piece of oak molding glued and brad nailed the front edge. This water based poly was easy to work with and dried in 30 minutes! I used 4 coats and sanded with 220 between I pocket screwed simple...

Those are nice. I am actually looking for 12v LEd lights to go above the counter top. I want something bright enough to provide ambient light for the whole trailer.

Yes thanks, if the trailer was new I think I'd insulate, but for it's age and what it is, I'm going to forego wall insulation. I will insulate the ceiling and then sheet with luan. Noise is not an issue where I like to camp. I've camped in it this winter using a little propane heater and it...

On mine, on the outside, I put a pad lock on the door latch so that no one can lock me in. On the inside, I just use a cheep sliding bolt latch to keep it shut.

Thanks guys. I hope to take advantage of the crappy weather we are having and do a few more mods before paddling season starts. I got some new ideas from Mr. Trout's build thread! Your build is killer

That looks strong! Nice job on all.

Another productive day, my buddy Brad and I installed new flooring. Brad's shop is big enough to fit the trailer which was awesome. We re-drove all the screws that hold down the plywood. We scrapped all the high spots and I used a cup brush/grinder around the edges to remove old caulk and...

My brother came to help and we really torn things up. I stripped out the old shelves. Using birch plywood, we started with the upper shelf. This was a pain to fit because the trailer has a curved front Next we made a face frame using a pocket tool jig. This was the first time I tried...

I repurposed the ATV tie downs that were mounted to the floor and mounted them to the wall. I cut them to length, scuffed off the rust and painted them black Got a fire extinguisher and first aid kit installed. Also some coat hooks. I really need to paint the interior

Here is a shot of the inside.

I was having trouble pulling it with my jeep. It is Spring over on 35s. I tried an eight inch drop but it was not low enough, so I ordered this 11". Here it is hooked up, the picture is odd, the jeep looks low in the back but on the road it looks normal.

I was getting gas on my way to an ATV poker run. I was pulling a trailer full of ATVs. This older timer approaches me and says, "Are you on your way to camp?" I say, "no, just going riding" He motions to his truck and says, "would you be interested in this?" He proceeds to give me this...

Spare tire mount: The PO put this side mount spare tire on. I don't like it much so I am welding up a new mount and covering the tongue with expanded metal. The tongue may eventually house a propane tank and battery box. I cut a part the old spare tire mount and fabbed up this: [ Finished...
