Default Home built trailer

My brother-in-law made this one up. Took it to the trail at Tuttle Lake, KS yesterday. Was a little nervous as my ride just barely fit going crossways;

Avoid the bumps and use the best name brand straps made and lots of them.

Thats a tight fit. LOL

looks good! ditto on TLC's advice...lots of straps. WOW, how long is that tongue & what size tubing is it? that's the only thing that appears to make me nervous..can that span handle the weight without bending over time?! but overall, that trailer looks good!

No suspension on the trailer? It looks great, but without suspension I would not use it.

Should load the quad the other direction between the tires to reduce the weight on that tongue. I would also weld some bars from the corner of the trailer and close to the end of the tongue for added support
