This all new.... Never really built anything....in fact have just started to learn to wrench on my rig. Most of my mechanical abilities were in expo style mountain bikes (weeks on a mountain bike over trails).
I took an old trailer I had used when racing mountain bikes and decided to convert it to expo after I couldn't find an affordable M series trailer.
Using scrap wood, new welding skills, and free angle iron I have started the project. Having fun learning new skills and trying out new tools. Welding has been the biggest learning curve....
Started by pulling off the rotted bords on the floor. The railing had already been cut off when we were going to modify for a quad runner....
I measured out a 4' x 4' box centered over the wheels, welded angle iron in place to hold the plywood, and bolted plywood in place
Welded temporary light brackets on....lights will get moved to the tailgate later
I got the hinges wrong....but learning, put a tailgate on it
Tonight I need to figure out fenders....then a hinge set up for the top cover....
Agian....never built anything even close to this magnitude. I know it pales in comparission to thenother great projects on here....but never had an opportunity to learn when younger....so this is my self guided shop class....
Taking suggestions....
