Test fitted the body on the frame today, should have seen me and my wife fighting to get this thing up there; it was quite the spectacle :eek:

This is cool; I was looking for something similar when I found the Apache!

Got a little more work done; these 35's sure do make the trailer look small!

That's not too bad, I think I have less real estate; may be a little cheaper.

Frame brackets for the trailing arms. Mockup of suspension; I hope to have this thing to roller status by this weekend, getting the tires mounted today.

Looking good!

Thanks; The arms turned out real nice, I was looking at CVT's trailers they sell, and the independant suspension at an expo earlier this year, originally I was going to have him build me an entire rolling frame but changed my direction when I found the Apache. The arms were a little steep at...

Thanks for the welcome Fred!X2 on the camping I was hoping to get it finished and some camping in this summer but I looks like we are running out of summer fast. Fred how much did those guys charge you to paint your trailer?

I picked up the trailer suspension over the weekend and cant wait to get it intalled. Unfortunately i'm gonna have to wait until I get some wheel spacers to install the frame brackets. The hub's are just a pinch too large to fit the wheels I picked up and I want to make sure I get the width and...

I like it.

Well, I managed to get a little more done today before I ran out of wire:oops: Problem is I knew I was getting low; it's my fault. Also started framing out the wheel wells so I can get started on the tubs; its also going to help add some much needed rigidity to the side of the trailer box...

Planning on side rails on both sides , rear tire carrier and swing as well as a hard top with a roof rack to carry a couple kayak's. Propane, batteries, water etc will be added later, just focusing on getting the trailer in useable condition mechanically and cosmetically first.

Because I like the x frame, I wanted to keep it in order to retain some of the original frame design. I have an appreciation for vintage American made products. Now if it was vintage Chinese junk it would have went in the trash pile. Besides by the time I'm done with it the x is only doing two...

Finally found a little more time this week to get some work done on the trailer. I ended up dropping the X portion off to get media blasted; I just wasnt happy with the results of the wire wheel. Measured and cut out the wheel wells, started stripping on the trailer and got a large portion of...

Great build here! If I had all those tools at my disposal!

Well, I would have more to update but I had to go to Van Nuys for what I thought was a few days; turns out I've been stuck here since last sunday and will probably be here through next wednesday.:mad: Good news is that my trailing arms are ready and are at the powder coater as I speak; taking a...

Yes; the wheels, set of 17X4.5 wheels I picked up off of craigslist for a song. Came off of a dodge nitro. Little more done on the frame

New member here and figured I would post up my trailer build. Building it to make extended camping trips more comfortable, IE: more gear and getting off the ground. The trailer is a 66 Apache Raven I picked up a couple weeks ago from a seller on Craigslist. The day we picked it up The...
