Default Re: A Few Trailer Mods

Rob, I like your mods. On my trailer I added an angle frame @ the front of my trailer where I mount a small metal tool box to hold ratchet straps, rope, jack, tarp, flares, chock etc - stuff that I always need when I take the trailer out. On one side I fabricated a angle iron bracket to hold a spare tire.

You can see both of these in the attached photo along with my redecking in process (the trailer came w/untreated pine decking that lasted about 3 yrs, I replaced it w/pressure treated & hope to get a longer life). I also welded in 2 channels @ the end of the trailer for a drop in 2x10 tailgate but you can't really see those in the photo.

The trailer is not a heavyweight as it only has 2 - 3000 lb axles but it's perfect for our needs hauling hay, mower, building supplies & stuff around the farm.

Tie down loops around the outside next & sometime an undermount rack for my loading ramps.
