Picked up my trailer from the sandblaster today and put it in the garage away from the elements, here it'll stay til next Monday when my shipment of POR15 arrives and my order of body work hammers and dollies
Thank you!
I'm loving it so far, a very stout little trailer!
Thanks for all the part numbers! I decided that I'm just going to get a new axle with electric brakes. I'm not sure if I should keep the same width or go a little bit wider on the axle, any thoughts? I plan on running 35"s with 6...
i found this link from a friend that ill end up ordering from

hey Nic, what width did you order your axle in and are you happy with the tracking on your tacoma with the trailer?
Thanks that's the route I will go. Ill take the trailer apart. Pressure wash, por15 the frame and the top coat with a nice rattle can and call it a day!
Now for the suspension and hubs. What should I get and from where to clear some 35"s and is it possible to swap hubs to a 6 lug to use Toyota...
Excellent point and makes perfect sense, I want function over pretty looks most of all. I've actually used behr exterior paint on my work trailers and it last for years before its fades. Maybe ill save a lot of money and do just por15 on the frame and paint it after either rattle can or...
First off nice trailer!
I will be selling the wheels and tires, but I actually have two sets, he have me two spares with the trailer.
I kinda want to rip it apart hahah and just replace all the hardware and when I paint the frame I can make sure I got every inch. I figured since its just a...
I'm actually building the trailer for my silver 4runner in my avatar :) but yes I wanna paint to match.
What kinda of cj-3 spring kits should I go with?
Should I change out the axle, where can I find one? Or can I just switch out the hubs to a 6 lug?
I called around a few shops to get a quote to powder coat the frame of the trailer and they told me $400-$500. This seems a bit excessive. I've had tons of stuff powdercoated before but it was never that expensive. Does this seems right?
Late last night I picked up this looker. All And all it seems in decent shape. There is a couple dents on the exterior that I can learn to work out and a little bit of rust on the bottom of the tub on one of its cross supports. The frame is really solid so I don't think there is much to do there...
Thank you for the link, those are some rough trailers! I'd much rather spend more for a straighter box and this one I found is driving distance. I'd hate to have to figure out how to get a trailer that is in Pennsylvania to my home in California.
Thanks you so much for the input guys, I really appreciate it.
I would want to eventually change the hitch to a multi axis coupler but I am concerned about how the front frame will connect to the rear. I will ask for some more photos today prior to me making the drive and I will post them up
Thanks guys, well the price started out at $1200. I haven't seen it in person yet but he sent me like 20 pictures. It's a 6 hour round trip trip that I plan on making tonight after work. I'm really excited and I really like this one. With the exception of the dent in the rear panel if seems...
