M416 Troll Trailer Build

[Trollhole]

Customer brought this to me a while back and it's now one of the projects I'm working on. I'll post pictures along the way.

He got it in not to bad condition. Somewhere I have a pic of it with paint. But for now I'll start with when it came back from the blaster. It had some body damage but the rust wasn't bad and I could hammer and straighten the frame and body.

I have some around here if you need it.

Yeah post a few up of the graffiti paint job.

Pretty much working non stop for the past two weeks. Should be done in a few days. Here are the pics of the build. There was some serious engineering that went into the tailgate. The customer wanted something solid.

Some more. The idea on the Reese hitches was to give more flexibility to what can be mounted to the trailer.

looks great.

I really like the side receivers idea. Very versatile.

That fab work is amazing.

Nice work. That will be one sweet trailer when it's done. I'll also applaud the side/hitch idea

Very nice work !

Edited: Never mind the stupid Q, I missed the slide out "tongue" type bracket.

Nice work! I have used receiver tube for mounts too. They work great and are simple.

Just waiting on the tires to be mounted.

Solid on that rear tailgate is the understatement of the decade! Wow - rest of the trailer will be ashes and that rear tailgate will still be around.
