Offroad teardrop build

[MountainD]

Looks great!

Very nice! What material will you use for the floor and walls?

Undecided still. I need to see what is available in 4x10 sheets out here. Floor will be thin, probably 3/4" or 1.5" poplar floor frame, 1/4" top and bottom sheets with insulation.

I do not see any problem using 3/4" for the floor. My utility trailer use 3/4" ply and it is more then enough to carry hard wood fire wood and dirt and rocks or anything else.

She rolls, and straight!!

Gonna redo the shocks next week and get it registered this week with any luck.

Lookin good! What shocks did you go with?

 

[ak_cowboy]

Congrats! What OBA system are you going with for the bags?

 

[97kurt]

Some updates.

Slow going, but picked up some 3mm (1/8) and 9mm (1/2") Baltic birch this week. Also some 1/4" sanded ply at home depot for the outer walls.

Using a cheap 1/4 flush trim bit I was able to cut out the inner and outer walls pretty quickly.

Also got started on the doors.

Very nice. I see you have tacked on some inner fender liners, looks great. What are your dimensions for the trailer going to be? I'm three months from starting mine, so I will be watching yours with great interest.

 

[97kurt]

Its 4.5" wide at the frame, cant remember what it is with the wheels. Deck length is 110" (hair over 9ft) Teardrop will be 4' tall.

Looks great Kurt! I think we're neck and neck with each other's trailers! Ha

I didn't think it was a competition for us but definitely the end is in sight for both of us!

Cheers,

Kirk
