Slow to start build (hockeyryan)

[hockeyryan]

Hey there, so last year I started playing with the idea of buying a offroad trailer. After looking for a couple months I decide hell lets just build one. All the ones in my area were either to expensive or didnt have what I wanted or I just didnt like the look of them. Im not saying that mine will turn out the greatest but atleast I get the experience building it. So after looking for a cheap basic trailer to build I remembered that there were some old forestry trailers in the back 40 of farm.

It isnt the prettiest but its free and saves me time.
So the plan is
- remove the fenders and put on some 33s/35s (what ever I can find)
-Cut the top off. Sleeve the square tubing and put the top back on (so its removable)
-Put on new siding (still trying to decide what type of material) either wood/plastic/metal. Opinions?
-There will be a slide out counter. I was thinking about in the front in the second to the top square. But thinking about it now that will probs be to high up...
-Build doors for the back (either barndoor stype or tailgate)
-Im still thinking about the roof though. I kind of like the idea of a canves top.
I havent thought it all thru yet but I was hoping you guys could help me with your opinions

After building
-put in a stereo system, Im leaning towards a car stereo since I have a extra deck and speakers laying around.
-water tank under the floor
-gas can holders
-spot for a chainsaw

More to come
