Curious if anyone might be interested in taking over this build. The most complete pictures are in this post, this includes:
the brand new off-road tires and rims
Axle with shocks and electric brakes.
read and side Lights + electric wiring + harness with brakes
3 x trailer jacks (1 front and 2...
I was unable to get my trailer ready for coast fishing trip. I was finding that I rushed details and messing up the build. I decided to slow down and made a temp rack to fit my RAM box truck. It slides into the utility track. I was still a PITA to get everything on and getting to stuff was hard...
Forgot to ask. What is the general thought on suspension travel? My tire has about 4.5" travel to the top of the fender - unloaded. Is that enough?

Made some progress over the last week or so. Trailer is upright and the axle permanently mounted. I've mainly been working on the fenders or I should say more testing different shapes - lots of tacking, cutting and changing. I am considering making a bending brake to angle the plates for the...

Hi Curtis - thanks for sharing the advice on loading, I follow what you say and definitely sounds like a good plan. i did think about loading the kayaks on my truck with a Thule XSporter rack but my RAM has Ramboxes on the side and haven't found anything on the market that can fit. With the...
Hi, first post as I transition from lurker to builder. I wanted to commit to at least having an axle and something to roll on before claiming a build. My primary objective is to have a rugged off road'ish trailer to carry camping cargo and 2 large SOT kayaks (14'). I like to fish the Texas gulf...
