I first got the idea when I replaced my bedsides with fiberglass ones and I thought it would be a waste to throw them away, that's when the light bulb went on.
I got the bed for FREE off a guy that is building an all-out desert Sport Trac and he had no use for the bed.
After sitting in my back yard for a couple months I couldn't find a cheap trailer or a trailer that needed minimal modification. While in my daily search on CL I found a very promising trailer at a reasonable price. Turns out, after chking it out in person, it was the perfect width, length, it had 15" wheels and they matched the 4.5x5 bolt pattern on my truck, and super strong. As if I ordered it to my specs.
As its sits right now it's wired, the bed is secure in the mounts I made, and I installed my white bedsides. I need to find 3-33"x9.5" tires, a tailgate and a 5' tool box to go in the front.
Plans are the make a custom cover that folds out into a 5'x8' platform to support a 3 person tent. This is obviously a budget build because I have less then $325 into it.
On to the pics:
I'm located in Long Beach if some of you guys can help me out by keeping an eye out for a tailgate and skinny 33's I would really appreciate it.
