Figured I'd share my trailer build. I started with a 26ft camper trailer that had been set on fire. I started by stripping off everything down to the bare frame. Here's when I started fabrication. I cut off the bumper, all the cross members, the trailer tongue, and started fabricating. I cut the frame rails at 16ft, widened the frame from 55 inches to 72 inches, added a 2.5ft beaver tail, started building a new trailer tongue from 4 inch channel.

More pics. By this point this project has taken me three summers of fabrication in my driveway completely dependent on good weather to get anything done.

Paint, decals and decking done. Did this all before the ramps though so my pics are a bit out of order.

Almost done. Had to try loading my new l3901 though to see how it fit. Found out how flat one of my tires was though. They're one of two sets of 4 weather cracked tires I have. I'll be replacing all four of them with brand new rims and tires as soon as funds allow.

Looks nice. Thanks for sharing. How much does it weigh and what are the axels rated for?

Yes, if it's over 80 inches wide you will need the 3 small lights in the rear center, and two red marker lights shining to the side at the rear. The over 80 taillight kits come with the side red lights made into the taillight. And most trailers are long enough where you are required to have one yellow light at each front corner on the side.

That's a big tractor, I bet it's heavy.
