    My scratch built expedition style trailer build up thread

    Not too worried about that for the wheeling I like to do, desert and mountains. They fenders are nice and tight, and they are backed by some decent washers. If they tear out, I will fix em :jump:

    3-4 Link Suspension?

    I think a 3 or 4 link setup is killer on the trucks we drive, where we have to axles to contend with the terrain. However, on a single axle trailer the articulation that a 3-4 link provides isn't always what is best. I would have to agree, this is one of the areas that an Indy suspension...

    Food, trailers and animals

    This is a great thought to discuss. I am building a kitchen out the back of the trailer and I was wondering how this was going to work. We live and play in bear country (rocky mountains). And Martyn's totally right I don't think a trialer is even close to bear safe. They can pull car doors...

    My scratch built expedition style trailer build up thread

    Got after the fenders today... not too bad, I like how they came out, and they should help if I flop it over. I will need to trim the bottom edge of the tubing flush with the sheet but other than that they turned out strong and light... and they cover well too!:p

    My scratch built expedition style trailer build up thread

    Without a doubt! This is absolutely THEROPY to me! This is my time to relax, I am lucky to have such a patient wife who understands what I am going for and the time I need to make it happen. Also, the 4 hours on one side thing is the absolute truth. Yesterday I experienced that exactly, I...

    My scratch built expedition style trailer build up thread

    Thanks for the nice words fellas! I ended up using Sikaflex, it is really great stuff, it has great initial tack for holding where you want it, without being unforgiving. It also has a long work time so you don't have to go crazy trying to get it in place, I would say you have about 30 min...

    Rivets or welds... can you help me out?

    Nope, I have been doing lots of research on sealers and products for sheet metal panels in the auto body world. And there is LOTS out there for this exact application. I will however, have to seal the inside and outside seams to make it work, but it seems good. There are a lot of great acrylic...

    Rivets or welds... can you help me out?

    Thanks for all the help with this, once I got the welder dialed in and I kept a good slow rate... I was able to avoid all warping. I will still rivet a few panels in place, but will be welding most everything else. Thanks! Here are a few shots of the progress.
