Haven't done much lately.
Threw a UNI filter in it, and picked up some Amsoil for my next oil change.
I am starting a new project to go along with my four wheeler, so I'll just put it with this build.
I bought a small trailer for around the yard/woods. Picked it up for $50. I want to paint it to match, and build a box for it, possibly a dump box. Then, I would like to lift it some, and put some atv tires on it. That will require me to widen the axle out a bit.
Should be able to start tearing it apart today or tomorrow.

Good price. Tires and spindles are well worth that alone.

Plans changed. Instead of color matching to the 4 wheeler, I decided to make it a little scale dump trailer to match my work truck.













I'll build a dump box, paint it white, and put some gray sideboards on it.

Got a lttle more done today.
Have the box built, and painted. Started on the sideboards. Got one done, went to make the other side, and the last 2x12 I had, is 1/4" short in height. Thanks Menards. So, have to go grab another one tomorrow. Then paint them gray, and get it all bolted to the frame.










Until I get a little more time, I am going to just use this wheel/tire setup for now. Down the line, I still plan on some larger tires.

Got er done. I have a couple brackets to put in the box, when they show up this week.
I didn't do a hinged dumpbox on it yet, can always do that in the future.
Overall I'm happy with how it turned out. It's real solid.
