My new to me trailer.

[Big Daddy Chia]

So I picked this up off Cl yesterday for 400 bucks. It has 3 brand new Toyo Open countrys on it so i figured it was more then worht it. Not sure what kind of trailer it is, but my neighbor whos i a military nut seems to think it maybe some type of european trailer. All I know is its perfect for what i need. Upgrades will inlcue a tubular axle with the correct bolt pattern, flipping the axle and adding shocks. Also gonna rhino line the tub add jerry can holders and possibly a water system.

Looks like a good start. What is the boly pattern now? I converted mine to 5 on 4.5 with stuff at Northern Tools.

Or the hubs are industrial. Lots of farm equipment and some John deere stuff used those damned lugs..

Good find!

Very cool little trailer. I can't start looking until I get rid of my PWC that I never use any more.

I picked up a trailer a few months ago that is the same style as yours . Mine was built as a dump trailer. Under several coats of paint there is olive drab paint and a few numbers and letters I can't make out. I have been very curious of its origins. They seem to be a very well made trailer. Looking forward to your mods!

Nice find. It looks like a solid foundation to start a build around. I'll be interested to see how it turns out.

Yours might be a Converto dump trailer. Check the 1/4 ton trailer forum at g503.com for threads about these. Some of the threads have photos.

Well my first mods are to have the entire trailer sand blasted and clean up any bad spots, second is to completley replace the tounge. Still not sure how u cruve a 4x4 peice of metal like that.
