My project build/ Expo trailer.

[HAFICON]

Trailer got into a little accident and it is was warped pretty bad... Cut the body off and starting all over. Well almost....

Plasma cutter made quick work of it at least...






Started on the new frame. Going with my original plan and building a removable box. I wanted to do it out of aluminum but cost of material is just to high.

Sorry to hear about the accident, look forward to seeing your rebuild! At the rate I'm going you'll have your 3rd revision of your trailer done before I finish my first, lol!

Well it sucs, but just opens new doors.. I have to many projects going I need to finish some up....

Trign to keep it simple...

Box built, lid over hangs in the front a little just to allow for exterior storage.


Built my own hinges.


These are the start for latches...


First prime coat.


Today I built the anchor points.. The body will be removable to allow the trailer to transform from flat bed to cargo. I will drill them and the box will bolt down to the bed...


Lots more to come... Putting in a full day tomorrow.

Almost ready for a test run...


Going to get the tailgate built and it will be almost done..

Looks great, the aluminum diamond plate really makes it pop! I bet it's alot lighter now. Nice work, are you going to make the tailgate drop down or swing out?

 

[HAFICON]

Thanks..

Will be swing out. Only way I know how to explain it is it will be like barn doors. Will be two small doors that latch together in the middle.

So I finished the rear doors, they came out great I love it.



I am having a few issues though, with the new box style my toung weight is jacked up. I have to add a little weight up front to balance it out.

Also my trailer brakes stick as soon as I plug in my 7 pin connector. Anyone know why? Brakes have maybe 1k miles on them never been under water or in mud. I had to cut the wires to get the trailer to move.


On a more positive not had a friend make me a collapsible fire pit/grill.

I agree, but you're wrong on the pin. Center pin is Aux/Reverse
