Thanks for the kind words guys. This is my 1st serious project. I'd never layed a bead of weld before this. LOL
You're right Texasjohn, it is the size it is because of what I'm towing it with, my means of loading it, and the trail it has to go on. There are spots where the Jeep can't make the corner without backing up and going again. The trailer has no problem following because it's a little narrower then the Jeep. Now, when things get serious I may get a tandem load at a time dumped at the house and rent a bobcat to load it.
It is a unique little trailer. I've never seen anything like it done on the web... using the highlift to dump either.
I do have way too much into this (aprox $2500), and want to call it done as I have way too many other projects partially done, so the Highlift's staying.
Some specs;
-2X3X1/8" frame
-3500lb springs
-Corp 14 bolt axle (1/2" wall)
-oil bathed bearings
-18" clearance under the axle
-38" XML Military surplus tires ($60 each!)
-16X10" American Racing Outlaw IIs
-removable pintle ring (to convert to ball if I ever want)
-60" High lift jack (5,000lb rating)
-LED brake/signal/licence plate lights
-tub is aprox 3' wide at the bottom, 4' at the top, 18" deep, and 6' long (Roughly one cubic yard.)
