This is my attempt at tte30m3’s off road camp trailer build.
To set the stage, I recently upgraded my 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab SRW for a 16 4Runner. The 4Runner is ************ but way smaller. Enter my need for a gear hauling Offroad trailer. I’m not making a full on overland trailer but this platform will allow me to consider a full build out later. Right now it will serve as an off-road capable, secure storage for valuable gear, base camp for weekend beach trips, and and all around utility trailer.
Thought it would be fun to document this. I have no prior welding or fabrication experience. I do have friends that are willing to show me a few things and borrow equipment. With their help along with you guys and YouTube I am hoping for success!
I really liked the build linked above so I am attempting that with a few modifications to suit my needs. If it turns out half as nice I will be beyond happy.
Day 1: picked up 2x2 120’ and 1x1 48’ TIG wire. I have cut out the frame pieces and got my final plans for the trailer. Measured the 4 runner and with the Timbren heavy duty axles the trailer tires should be inline with the 4runners. 60” x 80” for the main box. Getting that cleaned for tacks and then will figure angles for built in tongue box.
