Been wanting to build a more off road type trailer for some time now. Kept drawing plans, pricing etc what I wanted
Couple of weeks ago I was down home and went back over the hill to check fences and saw one of my old trailers sitting so I drug it out of retirement. Its 5 X 8 so pretty good size all around.
I built this one back in 1993 to haul firewood in for my house and my parents. We both heated with wood so it took lots of it every winter. Well I moved away, and installed a propane furnace for them so trailer sat getting moldy and sinking in the ground:banghead:
So installed new lights, ( Step Father always tore them off on trees
) and started to clean it up. First was a power wash to get rid of the crud. Then it looked to short behind the KJ so did a spring over.... still too short so thought why not, had a couple of tires sitting around that only had 1000 miles on them so called Summit Racing for new wheels, ( cheaper ones) threw the 265-70-16s on and here it is . Now for some paint, more lights and a removeable tear drop
the original tires and the new ones
little fender trimming needed
Almost looks like a different trailer than I saw the other day when I stopped by. Amazing what a little lift and new tires does! Now ..... get that puppy painted!!!!
