that's a pretty light frame. why the need to upgrade the axle? especially if you're not rock crawling, etc...
are you adding the 6" to cover the tires?
I think I saw your post on another forum as well....
If it doesn't extend up above the vehicle, either, but the box looks a bit too "square." (pun intended :) ) Too much like a cargo trailer.
I prefer cutting off the front corner for aesthetics - it give the trailer a "direction."
....just my preference....
The Patriot trailers are premium products at $50k+. Market will be smaller - but there is a market - and it may take a while to sell - but will eventually sell...best of luck!
sorry for the frustration and loss. Yeah, I joined the same club a couple years back. I've learned that the lowest or "best" price doesn't mean I'll actually get the product. I'm OK paying more for the peace of mind.
MVT has come across my feed on IG. You may consider posting a warning there too.
The trailer looks to be in good condition...especially on a 37yo trailer, but I can't see the frame. Being in Indiana may work against you since they build a lot of trailers there. Look up what new costs and list at 50% and see what kind of response you get - as mentioned above. Best of luck!
just looked through your previous build thread...not sure why you're asking for input...I'll be asking for your input :) nice build!
Are you trying to do something different? what were the shortcomings of the previous build? The fact that you can weld opens up options quite a bit.
topo-overland.net does not seem to exist. topo-overland.com does, and there's a picture of your trailer, but not additional ones as mentioned in your original post.
