What are your plans for recovery? It looks like the center tube (assuming it's 2.5" x 1/4" square tube) runs the length of the trailer, which would give you the most direct shot at a pull from behind.
That is the main plan. I hoped to be able to have high lift jacks on the side, but I see now with the wheels inbound of the box, I don't have the strength. Settling for BAL scissor jacks now.
My frame has an outrigger of sorts made out of angle. I did this because my wheels are partially set into the body of the trailer. I wanted a straight shot of tubing from the recovery points on the back to the angled tongue braces without any additional bends in it.
I like the out rigging and I see how your recovery is set up. Also with your 'composite tongue', I see how it works. Nice!
It will let you run the numbers for a straight tongue, an A frame tongue and a composite (like the tongue on my trailer)
Thank you!
Oh, it gets better than that. Are you matching the wheels and tires or just the tires? Per your signature it looks like you're using a Tacoma. The Tacoma wheels are hubcentric. Trailer hubs are
usually lug centric. I ended up needing to use adapters to get my hubcentric Toyota wheels to work on my lugcentric trailer hubs.
Of course it gets more complicated.. Thank you for 'heads-up'.
Have you chosen your stabilizers yet? I'd figure out which type you want to go with and then plan the reinforcements. I went with the BAL C style because they tuck up very close to the bottom of the trailer.
I changed out to those on my current trailer. Will probably do them again.
Loads of info to work through. Thank you!
