Dumping offroad military trailer

[deezler]

This trailer is truly a labor of love. Nice work. And good documentation!

Thank you very much deezler!

I kinda forgot about these... they'd developed a fair bit of surface rust with only about a year... though I do remember that I just rattle canned them and it's been my experience that rattle can just doens't last compared to brushing. So, flappered the rust off, prepped and primed.

She's outside for the first time in a long time

That's it! I need those wheels to be black too. Looking into Duplicolor Plastikote.

Should be getting my sheet of plastic this week.

Just called about uhmw, puck board is 1/3 the price at around $100/ sheet. I'm going with that. LOL

Step 1; thick coat of rust check

Step 2; plywood

Step 3; puck board, SS lag bolts, and seam sealer

Even got some use out of it today!

Nice work. You said you learned how to weld while doing this project? The welds look pretty good.

Very nice build. You will be suprised at the number of people who will think that you bought the tires and rims just for that trailer.

 

[NS Gearhead]

Thanks guys! And as a matter of fact I did buy the tires and rims just for the trailer! LOL $120 for the tires, and $240 for the wheels.... the wheels did match the Jeep's at that time.

Sheds the snow pretty good!

On our way to walk the "twail". She asks almost daily. She's carrying peanuts to feed her pet squirel Nemo.

I'm excited that she already likes the trail and that it'll make lots of good memories of her childhood : )

I thought I'd posted this video, but I guess not. This is the trail that I built (am building) the trailer for.
