Bluedegeon's Overland Trailer Build

So my goal is to build a overland trailer. I was going to build from scratch later on down the road but came across this as a family member needed the cash and never rarely used it.



Day 1:

So far on the list:

• New axle with 6 5.5" Hubs
• New tires and rims (16" to match truck)
• Remove wood and replace with steel
• Cut 1-3ft off and center the axle
• New leaf pack w/ shackle flip
• Sandblast and possibly color match to the Taco

 

Bad night pictures but tore of the rotting wood and rusty bolts/screws that held it in.

 

That is a sweet base to build one off of, what was the trailer originally intended for?
The frame and those arms, give you a nice jump start.

 

It's a sorta old trailer that was never used for about 6 year up until a year ago. Even then it was only used twice after flipping the axle and throwing 33's on it. I got it off my cousin who used it for a jet ski. There is surface rust and the welds aren't the best so I think I got more work on my end than I thought lol Hubs are also showing a lot of grease that looks like its coming out
