I've been working on this for about a week and I'm 95% finished. It's the first trailer I've ever built and I'm really happy with it. All that's left is the fenders, wiring, saftey chains and paint. The racks for gasoline and water are finished and in the shop. I'll carry 15 gallons of fuel and 15 gallons of water. What do you think?

Nice looking job. Where'd you get the axle? And how much do you charge to build those for mechanical idiots like me? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

The axle is a "Flexride" torsion axle. I bought it from Southwest Wheel in Texas along with everthing else except for the steel, tail lights, tool box and decking. Only $750.00 shipped to California. I only built it for fun and because all the trailers I looked at were wrong for the
the way I wanted to set it up. I don't build trailers, I just like to tinker. I've worked with wood my whole life and just got bored with that and started playing with metal.

I'm better at building something than describing it, so here is a picture of the ramps setup.
