Hf trailer...and have coupon

[Adventure IQ]

I want to build this
Have money for this
And can pull the axle and wheels from this.

I want a boxy trailer....any advise?

 

[Fresno]

The other trailer is welded and has more structure. I would stick with it and build it up.

 

[Mark Harley]

I would finish the build you started.

 

[Matt]

I agree. You'll be better off using the frame you have now, even if you have to modify it to suit your needs.

 

[Adventure IQ]

Thanks. Should I hack it up...and if so....where?

 

[Mark Harley]

Shorten the rear 6" and add a rear crossmember bumper, D rings, lights and 2" receiver
Spring over " axle is very close to the frame in the first picture.
Angle iron corners and flat steel sides like the first picture.
Tongue and groove sides look good.
Tongue box from the front to second cross member.

You have a great frame to start with just go from there.

The frame you have is indeed, a great starting point. I'd flip the axle and make it spring over axle, giving you more clearance.

Hacking the back makes sense.... I tried an off road build before and was not happy with the results

 

[Adventure IQ]

I think the. Demensions I used were off and made the box smaller than I wanted, 4 x 4 was the result

 

[Adventure IQ]

I think the area between the front of the box anf the tongue is what seems overly long...perhaps hack more off the back and move the axle forward?

My trailer will ultimately have close to 4' tongue before the "box" of the trailer. I need this much space because of my rear bumper's spare tire swing out. The overall length of my trailer will be 10'. For what its worth...
