Okay, this is when I brought it home, bought for $350. Wanted to hit the ground running with a smaller trailer I could get into some more remote places with. 4x6, small Ford pattern axle, was used by a Boy Scout leader and already well proven. But nowhere near the ground clearance I wanted!
As a trial, flipped the axle to below the springs. Gained around 4 inches.
I cut the axle to widen it, added an inner tube for strength, then trussed it. I then added a set of Ranger wheels/tires I had for another 3.5 inches of clearance.
Driver's side
This compartment goes all the way front to back, using it for tent and long items.
Threw together a quick switch panel for onboard lighting in the front tool box. Grabbed the battery from my mower and a small solar panel. Using this area for a few tools/jack and such.
Cooking side. Utensils, Coleman stove and such. Plates, spices.
