Small off-road trailer project

Sucks man. Brighter days after ❄️

 

For the low low price of “we never want to see it again”

 

Careful how much you shorten the tongue, it will make backing up more difficult.
Good luck and interested to see the final product..

 

I'd like to see the old axle. I like these Timbren units, but man are they spendy!

 

Mine got welded and primed, then we moved and it’s been hiding (from my wife) under a tarp behind the shed. New leaf packs, ID plate, and I’ve got to come up with a good looking light system.

 

I lengthened mine 15 inches. Huge difference in towing and handling.

 

now thats a pretty good price lol

 

oh wow an old bantam thats something you dont see often! does it have the tailgate? they normally do

 

Fun! I did something similar with an old 4x6 carry-on brand trailer I've had forever.... however, I don't recommend shortening that tongue tooooo much, I actually lengthened mine because it is a huge PITA to back the thing up. The longer tongue makes it so much easier

 

With everyone saying to leave it, I am definitely reconsidering. I just figured such a long tongue compared to size if trailer would suck in tighter areas

 

Yeah that could be true I suppose... the great thing about these little trailers is that they are super easy to just disconnect when you are in a jam and move if you need to. Although it's trickier with the 33" tires on there and it's a bit heavier overall but can def work in a pinch. I haven't taken mine in any super tight areas so that is definitely a consideration

 

it will suck a bit but having a short tongue will be awful.......

to back my trailer its pretty easy thou but thats because i extended mine a bit. im glad mine didnt have a pintel hitch on it....

 

I debated a pintel. Ultimately the lock-n-roll looks easily worth the price

 

pintel sucks its loud and just annoying ive used them in the past and hate them a lot so i went lock n roll also

 

You find another deal like that you call me!

 

thats a bit small for your tall ass lmao

 

Wat I have.

 

Tongue length varies by manufacture. A tongue length of 40-46 inches to the box (work/loading area) is good. Point I'm trying to make is.. if you can have the trailer hooked up and turned 90 degrees from what you are hooked to, and not hitting the trailer or vehicle. You are good. if you really want an adjustable tongue length (both short and long) this is doable. search it up on the line.

 

Yes sir, welded new hinges on in the last couple years. It’s been our family firewood trailer as long as I can remember.

 

oh nice i tried finding one for the tail gate but couldnt find one before i found my m100
