Pics are here!!!
Ok, here we go. Enjoy the pics and anything you notice - dont hesitate to speak up.
Since the last pics posted i did change a few things:
Leaf packs: I took out the overload spring and added 2 more leafs to each side to increase the load capacity to total 6 leafs each side.
Shocks - never put em on and not plannning to: the leafs by themselvs soaked up bumps wonderfully and it didn't sway at all.
Tailgate: fabbed up a 1/4 steel plate that closes to the outside of the box - youll see pics. Still need to weather strip it.
Unfortunately after powdercoating it, i added the tailgate and the flip up doors - so those just had a sanding and quick coat of rustoleum black gloss spray paint.
After the maiden voyage, there are a couple things to do:
1: The rack that holds the tent/tire - bent in the middle due to weight and thin walled 1" tubing. Going to change that to something stout as a centerbrace will not work with the way the top doors open.
2: add one more leaf to each side as it did bottom out when hammering down the rough stuff, although i might just add bump stops and call it a day - well see.
Again, thanks to everyone on this board - it definately gave me the confidence to go ahead with the project. Definately a learning experience, although i calculated everything to the best i could and in the end i have a trailer that i can load with all my stuff and hit up baja for a week or 10 if the schedule arises.
Now GET ON IT!
