Re-start the Offroad Trailer Build

Hello,

Well, I figured it was time for me to re-start this trailer build thread. I purchased a semi-completed offroad trailer last December. The trailer still needed some work, including fabricating a tailgate, spare tire carrier, tool box lids, RTT mounts and racks, replacing the huge tires, and some smaller stuff. Over the past couple of months, I basically had to grind down all the ruff welds, sand and finish, then paint what was ready. I also wired the trailer, installed smaller offroad tires and fender flares, installed shocks, and installed an aluminum tongue box. Very soon I will fabricate the remaing components and continue the build.

I thought I would show you a couple of pics of the tow vehicle.

Finally finished the Build...Time for a Cold One

Fellow Campers,

Well, I finally got around to essentially finishing the off-road/hunting/utility trailer, although projects are never entirely done…. Below are the things that I have completed with pics at the end.

• Fabricated and built the tailgate with an integrated spare tire carrier, then installed it using heavy-duty hinges, two latches, stainless steel hardware, and a stainless steel lift handle,
• Fabricated and installed the aluminum tool box lids with hinges and latches,
• Fabricated and installed the roof-top-tent (RTT) mounts and bars, which are entirely removable,
• Replaced the humongous 37” off-road tires with tamer 33” tires…fits much better,
• Performed a crazy amount of grinding and sanding on welds and surfaces, then cleaned up the trailer and painted it,
• Installed wiring and lights on the trailer,
• Installed fender flares, shocks, and an aluminum tongue box,
• Installed 10 tie-downs on the outer lower sides of trailer,
• Installed a bed mat; and
• Registerd the trailer… with relative ease.

Now it time to enjoy......
