Lowes trailer upgrade

[Biker Eagle]

Back in the fall, I upgraded the tires/wheels on my 19' Winnie Drop trailer from 14" to 15". The takeoffs I kept for my RTT/Lowes trailer. Well we finally got around to cutting the fenders off to mount the 14" set. These are half again wider than the 13" we took off, and gave and additional 2" of ground clearance. Now to find some new fenders as the old ones were too small. Baby steps, I have to keep reminding myself. Also need to find a vertical mount for the spare on the tongue.

I have the exact same trailer that I'm just about finished turning it into an off road trailer. For fenders, I went to Amazon. Lots of options but I went with these


The trailer conversion was extremely difficult as there was not a square angle anywhere! Seems every piece I installed had to be individually fit to try and get everything even close to square. But in the end I think it came out nice



Raised the sides and widened axle to accomodate 15" tires.



Removed all the chicken wire .......

Full write up will be available soon.

Nice work both of you. I cant wait to see the final product once both of you are done.

More progress. Hub spacers and longer hub lugs came in and got them mounted this past Sunday.

Also finished replacing the straps on the RTT with milspec 2" webbing and buckles. Boy does it speed up the setup and takedown time, not to mention how much beefier they are from the stock crappy straps. Smiles all around.
