Do it all trailer build.

An h3 with a V8? I never knew those existed. BTW, take steering joints with you off road. I had to tow an H3 out of the woods with no steering after a failure at just 25kmiles.
Like the way the trailer is shaping up.

They made about 10k of them from 2008-10.

I don't expect this to be a hard core crawler. I've been all the way down that road and have no interest in returning. I recognize that at best this is a light duty pickup with an angry exterior.

Thanks. More like TIG operator makes nice welds. I've laid down more than a few that has to be ground out. Can't tolerate bird poop. Even upside down and vertical welds have to be cosmetically acceptable.

Finally. Next to locate and weld.

Thanks. Got to play with the plasma today.... Made the first pair of fender gussets/ steps.

Reality is a *****. Note to new builders - ask if your axle is cambered before final welding spring perches.

I noticed the tires looked toe'd out after my first drive. Sure enough, the peak of the camber wasn't at the top.

Important detail...

Fenders are driving me nuts. I hate the jeep style square ones and the round ones are too small or too big.


Anyone have an interesting source?
