Milota95's Trailer Build!

yes sir i am

 

i can't wait to use it

 

fenders and sides all tacked together going to weld it a lll tomorrow

 

Update:
all welded on now for the expanded metal, jack stands, and 2 propane tank holders then to the doors

 

That looks great.
I just picked up an oven like yours, thank you for the idea. I am working on pull out shelf's to hold it.

 

Sweet post pics on here when you get it on the pull out and what not

 

This is looking amazing man. When do we get to test it out

 

Hopefully in september then on the dragoons trip and probably a couple times in-between

 

worked on the inner part of the door, now finding hinges that are heavy duty and can hold weight any suggestions for the hinge?

Progress:

 

I use these from my local welding shop. Around $2 to $5 ea, they also have them with grease fitting.

 

awesome! ill have to check em out i like the idea of the grease fittings

 

curious what you guys think one those hinges... if supported on two, do you think the big ones could handle the weight of a tire gate? and by tire gate I mean one that would ONLY be holding a tire to one side of the vehicle, not the long armed ones that reach to the other side and also carry gas cans and what not..

 

are those the ones on your trailer? do you wish you went a different route or?

Thats what i would use for a tire carrier worth it 100% IMO

 

I don't like the single spindle design out of (as my dad put it) a pure mechanical engineering stand point. I know people run them all the time and most typically without failure but I also understand the reasoning behind why they SHOULD fail all the time... that combined with the fact that I know my rear bumper is a little under built and I'd much rather do a two hinge setup... just haven't decided on what type of hinges to use yet

 

Ohh i see well when you get it done i wanna see should be badass

 

I hope so! i wish I knew where the thread was but I've seen it done already on a second gen truck. basically, there are tube sections that attach at the forward most section of the high clearance bumper (near the wheel) and then wrap around and above the light. the top hinge goes there and the bottom on the bumper itself.. if all that makes sense..

anyway, do y'all think those bullet hinges could handle the weight/stress if two were used?

 

i know exactly what you are talking about

look at option B. i would use 2 hinges of that design and build off that

 

exactly... and ya I like those kinda hinges, I just also like saving money that's why I originally asked about the bullet's that are apparently only $5??? haha
