Adding Some Power

Not the best photo to show off the tray that was welded up and bolted across the driver side compartment (most rear door) that allows the Honda 1000 to strapped in snuggley. I grabbed a 1 gallon fuel can to secure below. I'm thinking I have 10+ hrs of power. Perfect for a 20 day run down the Baja.

What did you use for the spare hanger?

a chain crank off a mini truck.

a little help.

Just happened I found a nice utility bed I am planning to convert into a off road trailer.
Apparently, vendor does not have papers of it since he bought a truck with it, and trying to get rid out of it.
Does anyone know what can I ask to make trailer's license in TX?
Thanks for your advise guys.

Mine was titled as a home built trailer. I had a bill of sale, estimated weight and description. That was it.

Looks good from here. All depends on if there is any rust and if the box configuration works for you.

Holy smokes, that second one is great. It's a good thing for you I am in the middle of funding multiple projects or I would drive up there this weekend!

That 2nd one is a gold mine. I found my mini-truck fiberglass for about $400. Since then, have been searching for a buddy. Not many fiberglass one out there. If the forward compartment goes all the way thru from left to right (rather than a full bed), someone should really get it. Thats prime area (after some mods) for storing the 'stuff' you usually put in rear of car.

The one thing I'd suggest confirming is the width. Some utility beds actually exceeded the width of the truck doors (side to side), and when you make a trailer out of them they are too wide to track anything other than a full-size vehicle - IMO. This one does not appear to be the wide body.

If I was closer I would scoop that fiberglass model up and place it on my M101a2 frame.
painted red, polished the diamond plate, textured GM flares matching wheels and a RTT.

Hurry up so I don't make the trip.

 

[winstonclein]

That jewel was sold already.

 

[jeeps4fun]

I was out all weekend and never even called the guy. Knew I wouldn't be able to make it over there and at that price it'd be gone in a sec. Oh well, keep on looking I guess

No more truck-bed trailers out there? Come on!

This is my latest addition to my trailer. I'll have to get more pictures this week or weekend.

Here's my new project. A 1981 Toyota long bed I found on CL here in Atlanta. Already converted - apparently years ago. Lots of clean up going on, removed an old broken camper shell, plywood cabinets, astroturf, etc. Fixed some dents and dings on the body. Swapped out 23" tires for some 30" Goodyear Wranglers. Making a new wiring harness and about ready for black paint to match my 100-series TLC. Will be adding a rack for kayaks, rod holders, tool box, D-ring tiedowns in bed, propane tank mount, and possibly a water tank under the bed.
