My attempt at a trailer (2 Viewers)

[Firemedic831]

I started this project a couple days ago. I have never done anything like this so learning as I go but so far it’s turning out good I think. Hope to get it pretty close to being done this weekend

Looks great! What's the FRP for?

 

[Firemedic831]

I laminated the FRP to the bottom of the Ply . Now it is 100percent water proof from the bottom

Here is a pic of the underside

Took her for her first drive around the block. Pulls great. Can’t even feel it behind my truck. And easy to back up also . Now I can work on the fenders and lights

 

[Firemedic831]

It’s a start

 

[Firemedic831]

I got the fender frames done tonite

A little more

Looking good. I have been looking for trailers this week. Did you design your own frame or find a plan? How much in materials do you figure it would be? Do you have a strong welding background?

 

[Firemedic831]

I just kinda built it . I knew I wanted it to be 4x5. .i bought the Axle and mounted the wheels and tires . I was able to determine the frame dimensions then . I will be about 1500 when it’s done . But then I am getting matching wheels and tires to my FJ so I would say 2500 all in .

 

[Firemedic831]

a little more done

 

[Firemedic831]

Started the tail gate. And it works now

Doing some good work.

I'd think about protection for those taillights. Looks a tad vulnerable to destruction.
Cool design cues, looks good

 

[Firemedic831]

Took a break for a few days but got I little more done tonite

 

[Firemedic831]

I took it down to the truck scale and it is #520lbs. Not bad considering the wheels and tires are at least 200 . When I put my new wheels and tires I should be about 500 .
