I had the spacers built by Lenny Stahl, from motorsport-tech.com, for $200 shipped. I don't recall all of the specs...but give him a call and he can help you out. Thanks flas*hole.

Yes, I will be putting the handbrake back on this summer. The D90 color is Stornoway Grey. After going with a galvy chassis on the D90...I just couldn't go any other way with this trailer build.

Body is mostly together. Still need to add: 1. Brake lines 2. Lights 3. New rims and tires But that will likely be it for now.

Hubs are now repacked and better than new. I expect the rest of this will now come together rather quickly.

Axle is set up with new parts and ultra corrosion resistant grade 8 hardware. Frame is ready for axle installation. Now just waiting on the proper inner oil seals to complete the hub installation.

All cleaned up and ready for assembly. Now awaiting my McMaster hardware order to arrive in the mail.

Needs a few more light coats and its done.

Fresh Galvy Now...to paint or not paint...that is the question.

For now, while not matching the D90, we thought the trailer would look best in dark green. However, a color change is a simple one day job, should I want it to match the d90 down the road.

Thanks! Unfortunately, this trailer will not receive the intended original camo color. Wife stepped in and demanded a more conservative look. We agreed to go with a dark green, similar to land rover conistan green. I already painted it up but didn't have my camera on hand to take a...

Body panels are all primed and ready for paint. Some suspension parts primed and painted with Imron Black. Chassis and remaining suspension parts are headed to the galvanizer tomorrow.

All parts have been sandblasted. Next the tub and a few parts will get VeriPrime and most other stuff will get galvanized.

LOL. Yes...I have seen the harbor freight box on many of builds. Its a very nice upgrade. I hope not to disappoint...but at this point, I don't intend to trick out this trailer for camping. Rather, my intention is to make this a very clean...long lasting...multi-use trailer...while...

Thanks! They are the Rovertym 3" lift Progressive Springs. Very smooth ride.

As for tires, I will be adapting matching land rover wheels with matching 35" tires to the original M416 axle. As for galvanized hardware, I will likely go with black and in some cases leave bare galvy. As for tub, I am leaning toward restoring original camo paint job rather than matching...

LOL Here is another step... but if you want the full build story...go here: http://www.d-90.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25088&referrerid=1138

Well, I purchased this trailer a year ago because my family was beginning to outgrow my Defender 90. This trailer should help to postpone the inevitable 110 in my future. At the time of purchase, the tub floor was on the brink of salvaging. Thus, I bit the bullet, at that time, and stripped...

My rebuild.

Difficult to tell from picture. Did the mount grab the rail real good? Like did it wrap around the rail rather than just sit on top of it? BTW- thanks for the links an info.

Wow. Great ideas! Clever plywood idea...seems most simple and versatile, in a pinch. I bet one could even have that rhino lined too add durability and waterproof. Also nice to know that Thule does have a mount that works...I will have to check that mount out at a local store. Thanks all!
