Finally got enough pics to start a thread. Nothing special but just a gear hauler with a lid. 4’w X 6’l box for storage, will incorporate some cross bars on lid for hauling my fishing kayak. 31” tires. This trailer really won’t see technical trails, mostly dirt access roads to my hunting and...

Been building my camp/gear trailer in my spare time and getting ready to skin it and finish the lid up by next week. I want to ask , seeing I see lots of these trailers are painted black it seems , does the inside heat up to the point of any concern being a dark color? I have considered a two...

At the point in my build where I need to decide on sheet metal or aluminum sides and lid. Of course the entire trailer is framed with steel tubing. 4x6 gear hauler. I can handle the steel sheet metal aspect if I go that route. If I go aluminum I’ll have to attach it with fasteners of some sort...

Curious to see what a person can expect to see in life expectancy from a 1st Gen Frontier engine. Looking around and of course most are high mileage trucks in my area anywhere from 150k-225k. I had a Hardbody years ago and put 350k on that thing before I sold it. Didn’t know with regular...

For you guys that’s built trailers. What’s a good size box to go with 4x6 , 4x8 , 3x5 or other custom ? Just curious what the most common dimensions were for gear haulers.

Picked up a hardly worn set of IROK ND’s for the XJ. I’m impressed with their ability to go. They have great road manners with literally no more noise than other radial MT’s I’ve owned in the past. Only downfall is they’re heavy. Much heavier than the same size AT Mastercraft I keep on it for...

Those of you that have built a sleeper from plywood. What products and procedures did you take from sealing to final paint, Seal then prime then paint ? If so what type of each etc. Any help and info is appreciated

Hey guys. I'm wanting to build a camper shell / top style for my trailer. I plan on the skeleton construction being 1x1 mild steel tubing. I'm wanting this to be able to be removed much like a truck shell. Yeah I know what you're gonna say. But a fiberglass topper. Lol. Should've thought of that...

Going to order my axle in the morning for my project. This may have been covered somewhere , if so direct me. What is a good clearance number between tire and frame ? 1 1/2" 2" more ?. Thanks

I have an offroad trailer started , built for hauling camping gear in the box and kayaks on top. It will have a lid at some point. Ive built the framing out of 2"x2" steel tubing. My question is what type of plywood is the most economical but the best. The ply will be on the floor and sides. I...

Any input from the guys with experience would be appreciated. We all know there are a number of ways to build a Teardrop or Weekender style camper. Plywood walls with roof spares or a framed wall with inner and outer sheeting. My question or input needed on either way of building is the...

Wanting to build a trailer approx. 50-52 inches wide. What's a good hub to hub measurement. Will probably be running no wider than a 7" wheel wrapped in31's with average backspacing lets say 3-4". Do I need to order a custom length axle to get what I'm wanting or can I find an axle from TSC or...

Title says it all. Looking for some pics with smaller military trailers boxes used as truck beds. Toyota or other common vehicles preferred. I had thought about building me a flat bed for my 1990 truck but I thought this look might be more functional and cooler looking.LOL

For anyone who has used or seen any teardrops type campers with FRP, will FRP hold up to the weather and elements assuming that it will be glued to a luan or other type of plywood for an exterior finish..

Getting my thoughts for an upcoming build. Going to make a offroad type teardrop camper. I'm going to build it all out of steel including sheetmetal walls. My big question ( for those who have built or have knowledge pertaining to this) what is a good roof coating to prevent leaks around the...
