I finally got the second toolbox in from Autozone. I decided to run some angle down the seam with the drawer. I'll also be running angle across the space between the boxes, creating a frame at the front of the trailer. With a piece of aluminum plate, I'll be able to enclose the front of the...

That went out the window weeks ago.... Thanks for that layout pic. Any closeups? I was figuring I'd be dragging out the table saw in a few weeks to build some sort of organizer.

AutoZone Part Number 64210149 Northern Tool sells the same ones under part number 41868, but they rivet their logo to them. The AutoZone ones are a decal that can be easily removed. They're built by Daws/BetterBuilt in Pensacola, FL. Autozone coupons are easy to come by online, bringing the...

I'm using these brackets from Home Depot, re-painted with a few coats of Rustoleum: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-12-in-x-8-in-White-Heavy-Duty-Shelf-Bracket-14827/202895662?N=5yc1vZc4cuZ12kx They are rated at 600 lbs each and are bolted to both the trailer frame and the drawer unit...

One of the saddle boxes finally arrived. The other is still back ordered, which is really causing this build to drag on... This one is going to be for our backpacking/hiking gear, packed and ready to go. The other side will be our kitchen box. I plan to enclose the front to form a cargo bed...

Couldn't control myself. Spent the past week disassembling, sanding, priming, sanding, and painting. I went with rustoleum, thinned with acetone 60/40, and an HVLP gun. 6 coats on the drawers. Did hammered black on the trailer, kept the hardware zinc coated. Added tongue box. Saddle boxes are on...

Minor update. I got the backbone installed with the receiver hitch for my bike racks. Very happy to have a drill press as it made the job very easy. I also picked up a basket on Craigslist and have that mocked up. Hopefully my fenders and rear stabilizer will arrive today. Sent from my...

Axle done and trailer flip right-side-up! Exciting day here...the trailer is upright! I was able to get a co-worker to weld up my axle perches. They were moved in 4 7/16", precluding the need for wheel spacers. I'll still need an adapter for the spare, but I found a shop that will make me...

I'm actually looking for a set of top-mount boxes that I can mount to the sides of the drawers, above the tires. That would give me a fender top as well as create two sides of a shallow bed on top of the drawers. They don't show up on Craigslist often. I'd need a pair of them, 48" long. I...

It's coming along. Today I decided that Land Cruiser wheels weren't in the budget and their 5x150 bolt pattern is near impossible to find, so I decided I'd go with 5x4.5 wheels and get a single adapter that I'll keep with the Land Cruiser in the event I need to use the LC spare on the trailer...

I got started on assembly last night. I had to narrow the trailer by about 8 inches to get it to match the box. I was able to align the corners and cross-member bolts on the trailer with the mounting points on the drawers, so I know it'll be square and it's going to be extremely rigid. I'm...

Finally decided to join after years of lurking and drooling over your builds. I snagged a Weatherguard 338-3 Drawer unit for $300. It measures 48"Dx40"Wx12.5"H. I am thinking of mounting it to a Harbor Freight trailer and calling that a start to my trailer. Budget is tight... What to do...
