    A canoe isn't hard to add, a rack that stands over what ever you build will handle that. You could even make on out of PVC, and one with rollers is even better LOL.

    I knew I would find the pic somewhere, that was the first time I had helped make it!

    I would move your propane tank towards the front, in case you are rear ended, that tank is under pressure. If you can, get a bracket for the front V of the trailer, should be able to pick one up at any trailer supply store or fabricate one. I like the box design. One of the reasons in the...

    The first question I would ask myself is what your use for the trailer is? Is it just to tow behind you for light camping or more extreme, constant off road use? You stated in a later post you wanted dual role? Then maybe just build a sleeve cover for it to protect your gear and upgrade your...

    Thanks, it was a lot of fun to build. The one thing I have to do is replace the doors. I used 1/4 inch plywood that I had has scrap, which has now warped. I knew from day one I had to replace it, but I was holding off do to budget constraints and hoping I could lay my hand on some thicker...

    The overall length comes in at 16 ft. I had it on the scale before gear it was 1100 lbs. So with gear, I figure about 1800-2000lbs. It originally hauled a 4000lb boat, but didn't have electric brakes on it, something I wouldn't mind adding. The trailing is a Sterling and was built in 71.

    I will have to look for more, this is what I have on my laptop at this time. This was in AR in April this year at a friends place. It is not the greatest shot, will have to try find another or go take some more :D

    Friend forwarded me the site as my 01 suburban is getting up there in miles and I want to start replacing parts on her. I travel a lot with the truck and some areas I go out west to visit friends are way off the beaten path. Been restoring an 88 YJ for more off roading, but for long distance...

    You can do it. I built mine from an old boat trailer. Can't wait to see how it comes along.
