All purpose everything trailer build

[80DDYota]

sweet trailer I like it. What does it weigh? I have herd the composite is heavy stuff

As soon as I'm done, I will need to go weigh it. The benefits of the fake wood out weigh the weight of the stuff. I like it for trailer uses.

Time to get working on the tailgate.

But first I have to make the hinges.

I didn't show it but, I welded a nut inside of the bottom tube of the tailgate. This is were it will hing. Having it pivot from the side will keep dirt and crap from getting stuck while closing it.

ready to move on......

Thanks for checking it out.

Thank You, it has been fun, now that it's all coming together. I'll look for your build when you get going on it.

Trailer is looking good, I really like those side boxes! You are going to have a LOT of storage space in them!!!

Yeah, so much I will have to make dividers or something.

I skinned the tailgate today, and did some painting inside of the side storage.

The end result, ahhhhhhh finished with the box, now on to the goodies.

Now for the generator and some diamond plating for the tounge.

Thanks, the Jeep is a 1969 Kaiser M715. It has a Ford turbo diesel, 5 Speed, front and rear disc brakes, Dana 60 front , Sterling 10" rear, hydro brake, hydro assist steering, 40" tires and 20" wheels. I have been finishing up on some stuff to get it going. It will be running in Veg oil, a 80 gal or 60gal tank will be in the bed.
Can't wait to get it going.

Well, between 660 - 700lbs, I'm gunna go with 700lbs. My axle max is 1800lbs, my tongue weight right now is light. The gene will fix that, no tracking issues, pulls nice, tongue length is nice for easy back up. I think its good to go.
