Titanpat thanks! Love waking up to the sunrise over the Gulf. Mark, i originally was going to mount a tank underneath for better weight distribution and lower center of gravity, but money and time prevented that for now. I didn't plan on the water heater and tank fitting so well it just worked...

Well been busy working on trailer the last 2 weeks, we took it on the maiden voyage this weekend to Padre Island National Seashore. We didn't go to far down island so can't say much for how it does in soft sand. Had a front blow through Saturday night. Temps went from 65 to about 50 with a...

Was a joke your drawings showed up upside down... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looking good. Will you be able to tow it with the wheels in the air like that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have you considered starting with an existing boat trailer and modifying it for offroad. Flipping axles will provide clearance for larger tires and you could add on your enclosure. Also using I-beam instead of channel MAY be a better option for you. I've seen larger aluminum boat trailers built...

PINS can be a bad place to be stranded down island, things can go from bad to worse in a heartbeat, as I'm sure you know. I am no expert but think the strength and weight savings you would gain by going with aluminum may be worth it in the long run. You may spend more initially but would hate...

I have the same thoughts on the weight. If you are planning on towing this any considerable distance down PINS I would take into consideration materials, using aluminum and light weight anywhere you can. I've seen many people burn up transmissions towing heavy loads in the deep sand on PINS...

Can't wait for pics. I also just started a utility bed trailer, for the purpose of camping on PINs. Have grown up growing down there, now need more room to haul all the gear and 3 dogs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe it's an old southwestern bell/AT&T bed. That's what I see them used for around here. I am replacing part of the tailgate due to rust so ill post pics of the back when I'm done with that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I haven't found any markings or manufacturers plates yet so I have no clue who made it. I have followed your build and will be borrowing a few ideas from you. I will post up many more pics when I get a chance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Been reading here a while and have recently started my build, so figured I'd share it here. I found a utility bed already mounted to a trailer frame on Craigslist. Here it was when I brought it home. Stripped the paint, primed, flipped the axle, did sheet metal patch work, matching wheels...
