Weill I figured I would post a quick build thread for my trailer build. It was a fun project with minimal profanities minus some delays with parts suppliers.

I picked up this trailer for cheap. Had been sitting next to a guys house outside for 2 years. It was small enough and sturdy built. I thought it would be cheaper to start with a prebuilt trailer. Hind sight I was wrong, should have started from scratch.

After looking at it and doing some measurements I figured it needed some sand blasting and it would be too tall after adding 33" tires some cut a portion off the top and weldied a new top frame. I also added a hatch for the back.

Next I reskinned the top and hatch and installed hatch handles. Then went to the front and cut off the the ball coupler and added a reciever tube for the Max Coupler.

The new axle and hubs I ordered so the track of the trailer matches my Jeep. On went axle and Matching wheels and tires.

One thing I forgot to mention was cutting off old fenders and adding new ones. This eliminated the need for a lift kit. Next was paint. The bottom, inside, and tongue i used black durabak 18 and top was tan durabak 18. All new wiring, some accesories and a mombasa rtt and poof I had my camp trailer. All in all it took about 11 full Days start to finish and alot of patience from my wife.
