other than the diamond plate this is one of the best, simple, trailer designs I have found.
if yall were to build this, would you do anything differently?

I think I would rather have 4x6 instead of 4x5.
Those taillights look like they are asking to be taken off, I think some 40 series lights would do better. or fab lights into the tailgate like they did with the ACC 80 series.

I have been really giving this some thought for a father/son project for this summer. I believe I can build the frame myself and the kit fit on to make a convincing M416 style box. I have a set of 35" Mickey T's and 15" mini truck rims to go on it already.

The dinoot is designed to bolt on to a harbor freight trailer. There is a thread about it in the trailer classifieds.

other than opting for square fenders (flat surface) thats close to what I hope to end up with.

the angled step/water can mounting area is exactly what I had in mind.

The HF trailer is a "turn key" solution for a trailer that will only be used on the highway. Building a 4X6 frame w/a 3500 lb axle is the off road option. They offer the trailer frame at a premium price. Much more expensive than building it yourself and having it shipped from Utah.

Yeah, but ya'll take your trucks off road, what, once a year at best? How many times will you take a trailer?!

I would be up for donating to a DLC club trailer.

not only would it be useful for us on trips, it would be a great chance for us newbs to learn how to build a trailer.

If I could find a utility bed for a tacoma sized truck I would love a set up like his in post #5. http://www.expeditionportal.com/for...s-your-truck-bed-trailers?p=934956#post934956

I wouldnt want to pull that behind my junk with a GM trans, or a 40.

We're gone need a bigger forum to park it in.

[Land Speeder]

I'll pay for it and we'll call it "ours"... No.

We'll just sell you ours when we're tired of finding a member's driveway/garage/backyard to store it, LOL!

Question:

Did Gold Digger have an extended/adjustable track bar up front?

 

[bhmmapping]

nope, there was/is a correctly sized piece of tubing to sleeve it in the pile of parts at Keith's house but AFAIK it never got installed.

 

[BamaPaul]

Were you just gonna stretch it and sleeve it or were you gonna make it adjustable? Was it schedule 80 pipe or dom?

There's a parking lot sale going on at harbour freight right now (online too) and the 12k winch is listed for $299. But I just picked up a winch for $240 shipped. Use the code 43119088 to get 25% off of the $299 price and it brings the total to $224.99 + $6.99 shipping + $9 tax= $240.98 Thanks to ERG80 for posting the coupons in his hf coupon thread he just saved me a ton of money.
