Java's Trailer build

[java]

I did the same thing with mine. They need to let you buy them as long as 10 feet in length.
It is easier to take away than it is to add to them.

Yeah I was thinking 6 was enough but I was wrong.....

Got to experience the joy of splicing 7 conductor wire. But now I can jacknife both ways.

yeah good to have it done.

couldnt resist rolling a tire up to it. eventually it will get new wheels and tires.

good looking project, i go back and fourth between making a trailer out of a truck bed like this or a military trailer.

very cool trailer build. You need to do something cool with the fuel tank filler on the side of the trailer. Maybe a water fill spot or something.

I was thinking of a truck bed trailer to match my 2002 GMC sierra.
The local recyclers beds came in two varieties in Pennsylvania.

1. Rusty and shot!
2. Southern and expensive $1200.00 for a take off bed.

I went with a $500.00 Military trailer and like it.

You have done a great job with your trailer, can't wait to see the finished result.

Yeah I had a hard time finding a bed too. Found a tundra with a 8' bed but they wanted 800 for the back half. Finally found this one, it was cry rusty but the price was right

I'd like to eventually put a gas tank back in. But the whole filler is really easy to take on and off so I may put the charge plug in there for the time being once I get a battery.

Subscribed! I have that same trailer I use as a utility trailer and been watching to see how it can be converted into a camper/off road trailer.
Very cool.

sweet! its going to be a more utility trailer but with some camping goodies.


quick link for the safety chains and trailer jack.



the illusive tie downs

 

[Dirtytires]

I like the tie down idea. A lot better than having straps hanging all over the side of the trailer scratching it up and
being a catch for twigs and all. Looking pretty good.
