    Used shipping containers..?

    In looking this spring for a 20’ I found I would be around $2500 delivers to spanish fork for a used but water tight container... I called a lot of people and that was about what they were, a 45’ wasn’t much more money.

    Off Road Trailer 2.0 50" wide version

    I was ordering people’s opinions about a tail gate. I am undecided if I should just cap the end or add a tailgate to it? I am so busy with work and hunting that I would like to be done and capping it would excel that part but will I regret not having the tailgate?

    Gave the trailer a little test run this weekend, the trailer tracked perfectly and is really smooth to pull. I had to eliminate all but the main leaf spring. At this point there is 48 lbs of tongue weight but not sure what the total weight is. I have pulled it up to 55 mph and it isn’t even...

    Ya, I plan on longer. This is just the coupler off my big off road trailer to get an idea of how long to make it. I did a receiver on the front of the trailer so it will fit in the bed of my truck.

    Finally bought some steel today and started the build. They still didn’t get what I wanted in (2x3 .083 wall) but they had a stick of 1.5 x 2 .120 wall and the price was right.

    Put the axle together today, I ended up going with 1 3/4” .120 wal hrew over 1 1/2” .120 wall dom, just wanted to get the outer diameter of the axle tube up to 1 3/4” for the spring perch’s, should be good for 1500 lbs or so now. I have all the steel ordered, using 2x3 .088 wall for the frame...

    so my axle tube will be 32" so that turns out to give me a 1.6 safety factor at 1000 lbs. I.m thinking that's more than I will ever see on the trailer, i'm wanting to keep it small so its still able to follow on the tighter 50" trails anyway.

    School me on 1997 7.3 liters.

    I have a 97 4 door duel rear wheel 4wd, it has been a good truck, defiantly must plug in when it is cold. even with new glow plugs they are hard starters, my cousin had a 96 and lives across the street from me and it was a toss up on whos would start. This reminds me that I need to sell mine.

    Wow, thats a lot of weight for a SXS. Im thinking a small cooler, 5 gallons of water, 10 gallons of gas, and some camping gear. and now and then a deer.

    Off Road Trailer 2.0 50" wide version

    Starting to gather parts for an off road trailer to pull behind my SXS. I have been holding on to the stock tires and some wheels from an old fourwheeler and have been looking for some kind of axle to fit the wheels but no luck to be had. I found some cheap trailer spindles and 4 on 4 hubs and...

    Off road trailer build

    The shocks definitely helped, I had to angle them more than i wanted to fit them under but at 90 psi they seem to add just enough extra support and the lateral movement has been reduced quite a bit. I am thinking of having a new mattress made to my specs and seeing if they can add an...

    Off road trailer build

    Well, we have spent 8 nights in the tent and put 1150 miles on the trailer in the last month. The battery gave out this weekend, not sure what’s up with that but I’ll take it back for a new one. We need to find some good foam to add to the tent bed, we threw our Dreamtime pads in there this...
