Project "UHAULER"

[UHAULER]

This weekend I was able to get a little more done on shrinking the box.

A little backyard engineering. I had to figure out how to cut the bottom off and lower it evenly by myself. The solution was to cut out the center section first to get the "lift" in place and cut the rest.

Next, I wanted to get it into the garage. I had to put stock samurai tires and wheels on the trailer and air them down just to get it in. More cutting with the sawzall and skill saw.

The roof sheet was cut using pneumatic shears.

The rear section was cleaned up and put in place for a trial fit.

Man, that's a ton of work! Hope it is what you want in the end!

I'm going to use the same door, just shorten it.

Wow! nice work in such short time. I like the new smaller package, i think much more useful.

Looks better IMHO. Have you given any thought to mounting some lights on the front of the camper for offroad visibility?

It's a great spot to mount some. I was looking and measuring for a custom-built lightbar for my truck to hold some of the 7" HID lights.

I made some progress in the last month. It is just about back together. I had to modify the bed frame so I will still be able to get my dirtbike in the back. This time I used some laminate flooring I had lying around. I also opened a can of worms by starting to remove the vinyl wrap that was covering the uhaul logo.

I really like the progress you've made on this rig. Can't wait to see what comes next.
