Got my rear drawer slides tacked together before I ran outbof welding gas. Needed to get them set up so I know exactly where the front "cubby" will be. The original plan was to have another drawer slide out one side but I didn't leave myself enough room for the locking mechanism. My options at...
Everything I do at work has to match my drawings ( make parts, tack together, checked by a supervisor and signed off, then welded solid) so my garage work can be a little chaotic at times. However for some reason the stuff I do in my garage is more complex than most of the stuff I do at work lol.
Final fender shape layed out. A brace in the middle and think I can get a skin on them and get my tail lights mounted up. I gotta shift my attention back to the interior and get the drawer slides made up so that I can get the final dimensions of the inside solidified.
I forgot how much I hated manually changing tires lol. I only got 2 33s when I grabbed the other set of tires to use the rims because they were super cheap. They are fairly worn but it gives me an idea of how the trailer will sit and I can start to plan out my fenders ( also why i dismounted and...
I have a lot of holes to drill son a lot of pieces to get my drawer slides ready to mock up in place.... still needs a floor but my trailer has some tires on it that I just picked up and I have no room inside for them right now lol.i did get the upper "shape" put together and can get some more...
This is my current setup but I am about half way through building an enclosed trailer with slide outs and independent suspension. Hoping to have it done before summer is over.
It's true I am spoiled with the garage lol. I never used to have one and it's nice not having to lay in dirt/mud/snow when I'm working on things ( at least while I'm home lol). I've acquired a few too many project in the last year or so and I need to sort everything out again lol.
Not a whole lot of progress but some layers of paint layed down, replaced a mangled grease cap on one axle, tacked my zip tie tabs in place down the "spine" so hopefully the next time I flip it over it will be the last.
Also I really need a bigger garage .... I have all kinds of tools and when...
Got the trailer out for a run around the block and it tracked great, was very quiet behind my Jeep and even as a bare structure with no weight on it ( though the base is fairly heavy itself) it wasn't bouncing all over the place like my other trailers.
Got it back in the garage and stripped it...
I wanted the axle to sit a bit further back than most because I wanted bit more tongue weight, and when the drawers slide out of the back I didn't want it to want to tip backward constantly ( I will still add some stabilizers). It also has a receiver in the back that will I can add a bit more...
