New trailer build using an Anchor Mountain Overland DIY kit

[dytrdr5]

Fabricated some side steps for the trailer, a lot of good work was done today, now for the other side

Flipped the axle over the leaf springs, looks much better and it’s perfectly even with the Jeep. Yes the tub is on backwards for now, not easy moving it around by yourself

Looking good!

Great build so far! I'm going to check out those fenders. I need some that are a little larger for my 285/70r17 I just out on my trailer.

Due to work and a busy life I haven’t had much time to work on the trailer, this weekend though I was able to finish up the brackets for the tub to the frame, got the lid mounted, loosely, still need the nuts and washers and I’ll be working on the rear door tomorrow.

Just found this thread, putting a plan together for a trailer to follow my TJ. Need to talk with Anchor Mountain about their tubs. Thanks for sharing.

you're welcome, Justin over at anchor mountain has been great. He answered all of my initial questions and has helped me throughout the build with questions like axle placement and several parts. This trailer will see some action in May, towing it behind my brother-in laws Landcruiser 80 for the Toyota jamboree and then I'll be towing it out to the jeep jamboree in Amarillo, can' wait to get it back from paint and powdercoat.

Trailer is mostly finished now, just dropped it off today to get painted and the frame will he raptor lined. Can’t wait to get it back. Finished up putting some handles and locks in the lid. Drilled out the tub for the taillights.

Swung by the body shop and they have the frame all raptor lined, project is coming alone

Getting some updated pictures from the body shop, trailer will be ready for pick up tomorrow
