That is great looking, you have done a very nice job. I especially like the awning, this is just what I have planned for my Jeepster Trailer, its nice to see someone do this so I can really see it in practice. You are inspiring me. Thanks for the pics.
Thanks for the comments! Good luck on your build.
Roughening it???:elkgrin: Looks like you brought the kitchen sink and more. Looking good.
No kitchen sink yet...
Did you pick up your trailer?
Late find on this thread!....Great looking conversion BTW. I've got a M416 frame, but the body is pretty well spent so I'm debating on having a new tub bent or just doing a custom frame up like you did. I'm curious to know if you have a material list you can send me (via PM) so I can do a cost comparison.
When I first started reading this I thought for sure by the end I would see that you re-used the old enclosed box's roof as a lid so I have to ask, did you consider reinforcing it and trying it?
I have all of my receipts for the steel, and the quantities. I will have to grab them and add it all up. I can tell you there are 5 sheets of steel (two different thicknesses) in what you see, and at least 8 - 10 20 foot sticks of 1 inch tube. One half stick of 1.5 inch square DOM. And about 300 bucks in random hardware, cut-off wheels, grinding discs, welding wire etc. I should be at about 1200-1500 bucks right now as you see it, not including the price of the original trailer as I already owned it.
I will get a list of steel together and post it.
No, I never tried reusing the roof. It was QUITE flimsy, and it didnt fit into my plan at all. (it was 8 feet long, the new trailer is only 6 ft, its round at the top, I wanted a flat lid etc)These trailers are fairly sturdy when they are all together, but you start cutting them apart and they become very weak.
Thanks for the comments!
Not from the
trailer, anyhow... :REOutCampFire03:
Yes, I was a little wobbly...
