    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.

    Not sure if you said, how much do you expect to put into this before it is done?

    Right now I'm around $1735. I don't imagine toooo much more since most of what is left will be material to build the box of the rest of the trailer.

    Axle : $130
    Leaf springs : $125
    Leaf spring mounting :$275
    Wheels : $200
    Tires : $680
    Max coupler hitch : $240
    Material for frame : $85

    Nice! Do you ever think of building one to sell? Haha.

    I actually found a pretty cool trailer recently I'm thinking of buying. It's just an empty bed, but I'm thinking if I can get some kind of bed rack welded up to it for my tent, it would be awesome! Maybe looking to you for that welding if I grab it!

    Yeah man! Definitely have thought about it! We'll see how this goes and if it turns out well and I like it then maybe more will be in the works.

    Awesome dude! I'd love to help out. Hit me up when and if it happens and we'll get you set up!

    Awesome. I'm really hoping to have a trailer sometime in the next year or so. Only downside is the speed limit in CA.

    I wonder how hard it'll be for you to get it "road legal" in CA, hopefully not hard but I don't know the specifics.

    I read some stuff last night about how that whole process goes and it honestly doesn't seem like too big of a deal. I think just making sure there are turn signals and brakes and stuff like that. But who knows. I'll build it and get it ready and then have it inspected at the DMV and hopefully they say, "Alright you're good to go!"
