good work on the tailgate

Luke111 · 08-30-08, 08:48 AM

All the credit for the work goes to my friends Cam and Lance at IronPig Offroad.
Here's the update , draw arms have been extended, 5200 LB Axle and springs , front and rear fender extension shelves and a front storage platform. Based on current measurements its should sit level hooked up to my FJ55.

Lou

Luke111 · 08-30-08, 08:54 AM

Everything should be finished in the next few days and then we'll paint it.

Extremely Dandy...keep the updates coming!

boctor12 · 09-02-08, 06:02 PM

Good job on the extension. That is exactly what i was going to do. Do you have any pics of the connection to the frame for the extension?

Not yet, the trailers about 50 miles away, but it is finished and as soon as its home I'll shoot some pictures of the frame.

Lou

Luke111 · 09-03-08, 12:15 PM

Here's a few more of it painted , for my use it pretty much done except the wiring, lights and bed liner. If I do decide to turn it into a camping trailer the guys at IPOR having given me a great base to start from.

Lou

Luke111 · 09-03-08, 12:24 PM

Looking at the picture of the jack stand, I think it needs to be moved back by the trailer bed because it would hit the truck or my bumper if I jacked the trailer..

Lou

KOWBOY · 09-03-08, 05:17 PM

Lookin' good sir.

Please do me a favor ...

When ya pick it up ...

rare back and bitch-slap Cam for me.

Luke111 · 09-03-08, 05:35 PM

Yeah

will do, but only after I get it hooked up to my truck, I mention to Cam that you had moved your jack stand back so it will be done.

Lou

1Fine40 · 09-05-08, 02:40 PM

That is one sweet build....mind my asking how much you have into it total?? It is getting hard to not look seriously at a pre-built unit when steel prices continue to skyrocket..

Cheers! and congrats on a sweet tow..

Luke111 · 09-07-08, 09:15 PM

I have not set down and figured it out, I know I have about $1400.00 which includes the trailer, parts & steel and having it Chem-Striped. It does not include labor.

that's funny

the trailer looks great! can't wait to see it at an event (along with your pig at next year's pig run)

Luke111 · 09-14-08, 05:08 PM

Cam delivered the trailer day, pretty sweet. Ride height is level with the hitch, considering they didn't have my truck as a guide Cam did an assume job. To raise the trailer he ran the steel for the draw bars under the trailer frame and attached the front spring hanger and made an extended rear hanger.
I started painting it Hunter Green .

Lou

Luke111 · 09-14-08, 05:12 PM

Will have to touch up the black oil based paint on the springs an axle.

smtyblt · 09-19-08, 08:21 PM

Glad you like it Lou. Turned out great!

Luke111 · 09-19-08, 09:32 PM

Cam, I could not be happier, it turned out great. I know you spent many nights from your family to get this done so I thank you. I removed the fenders and shot the bottoms with rubberized undercoat. I also lined the bed and should have the paint finished Sunday.

Lou

Luke111 · 09-21-08, 05:50 PM

Spent most of the day painting my trailer, painted the tub Rustoleum Gloss White High Performance and the fenders Rustoleum Black Hammered which does a great job of covering small blemishes. Need to bolt the fenders and the turn signals and take it for a tow.

Lou

Luke111 · 09-21-08, 05:53 PM

Few more

titanpat57 · 09-21-08, 07:43 PM

Damn nice job!! Hats off to you and Cam! Now alls it needs a little "mud" on it

KOWBOY · 09-22-08, 08:10 AM

Nice, clean lil' trailer. Well done.

REZARF · 09-22-08, 10:25 AM

WELL DONE, looks nearly new!

John Smith · 09-24-08, 01:36 PM

The trailer turned out amazing! Any chance your 55 and trailer will make a debut at the Fall Crawl?

Luke111 · 09-24-08, 08:49 PM

Thanks guys, The first tow will be to the dump, i need to get rid of the old axle and draw arms.

John I need to check the dates for the Fall Crawl. I'm working hard to get the inside finished.

Lou

Sweet 55 and trailer. Don't toss the lunnette or the lunette mount...
