I followed up with Jason, and you are correct, his prices are good. I am likely getting a set of wider fenders made up and am considering the tailgate mod, but I am not 100% on the gate. Lid...local friend is probably making me one!! I still think a "Trailer" meet is a good call this spring!

Hey guys!

Since getting myself a RTT I kinda had to build a base for it. I needed it done before heading out to Flagstaff so the aluminum shell wasn't an option as we already have too many projects on the go.

I ended up starting a plywood and fiberglass box instead. It won't be as pretty or light but it will be Practical and large!

I'm using 3/4" ply as I had some on hand and it will be stupidly strong. I'll coat it with Fiberglas for additional strength and waterproofing plus Gelcoat inside out.

I'll use stainless piano hinge at the front so that I can carry oversized items if needed with box partially opened.

Since Fiberglas doesn't like 90 degree corners I built jointers. It doesn't show on the pics but a little router love rounded those corners nicely!

So far the box is done, just need to set up the Fiberglas booth...

I'm also hoping to hear back from RubiconFan for a second set of original wheels... ;-)

Cheers

For an update, no go on the aluminum lid.

If you are stuck for a second set of wheels I have a set that I could let go.

Turns out I wasn't convinced on my first lid attempt so I made some modifications.

I cut 3" off the height and instead of having the lid's sidewall overlap I have them sit on top of the trailer. I just added some small wings at the bottom of the lid to stop it from moving and also got a 4' long 2" (open) stainless hinge for the front.

Last night I started with the fiberglass on the inside corners to solidify it and gelcoat the entire inside. Next step will be fiberglass on all of the outside followed again by gelcoat. I'm thinking of getting it gray...

Cheers
Mr. D

It was nice meeting you also....I'm horrible about putting up build pages, I will try and put it up when it's done....shouldn't be much longer till I'm happy with it..

Looks great with the mods. Grey might set off the black tub nicely...

Still slowly working on the lid which is basically done now, just need to install the front piano hinge and deal with the struts and locking latches at the rear. At least the fiberglass and Gelco paint is all done!

Here's a few pictures just before finishing it off...

Next pictures the damn lid will be on the trailer!

Cheers

If I did not see you glass it I would swear it was fabed with aluminum.
Nice work.
