Wanted: Offroad trailer or the parts to build one

[sixstringsteve]

I picked up a small trailer. IT will meet my needs for me now, but I'm still gathering parts to build one just the way I want.

I'm looking for:

6 lug trailer axle
ft steelies
vintage toyota truck bed, or at least the upper portion with the hooks.

Just buy a new axle and have it made with the exact measurements you want, make sure to order it with brake flanges on it so you can add brakes later if you find you may want them.

When I asked State Trailer they wouldn't make me a six lug axle any lighter than 3500lbs or so. That's a lot of axle for a light trailer, anybody know who might make a 1000lb axle with six lugs? I don't want to use hub adapters and I'd rather not use a truck axle.

I used a 3500 lb axle on my trailer for just that reason. It really isn't much larger physically than a 1000 lb axle--the tube size is a bit larger (2 3/8" vs. 2" or so) and the inner wheel bearing is larger. They'll still make it whatever width you want. (at least Henderson's will, that's who made mine)

I didn't mind...a heavier-duty axle just means it's less likely to bend later.

Not that much heavier, huh? Good to know.

Here is a bed for someone building a Toyota based trailer.
Not mine, just saw it online and remembered this thread.

Funny, that's my old Tepui Tent. Dude bought that tent from me in the fall and was telling me about the trailers he was building. Not bad for a basic trailer.

 

[sixstringsteve]

Yeah, that's a great looking trailer. I'm betting it's out of my price range. Not saying it's not worth his price, more that I could save a lot doing it myself.

There is a nice datsun bed utility trailer in Spanish Fork. I saw it on KSL. The guy is asking 240 for it even has a nice aluminum tool box on the tongue

thanks sawtooth, I'm going to swing by and pick that up tonight. I really appreciate it.

 

[sawtooth4x4]

Yup. Now you need a roof top tent. Mine will be here on Wednesday

 

[sixstringsteve]

Yeah, no RTT for me, i prefer sleeping on the ground.

I picked up that datsun trailer, thanks sawtooth.

 

[sawtooth4x4]

Sweet. Pictures or if didn't happen

If anybody is still interested in picking up a Toyota truck bed trailer, this one has been on KSL for a couple of weeks now...
