Hi, thanks for reading,
I figured now is a good time to start a build thread since we're starting to make moves with this trailer I found. I should preface this thread with, I'm not a fabricator and I'm learning to weld so don't expect any weld porn here.
About the trailer:
It's a chopped Toyota pickup utility bed, sitting on the original Toyota frame and 7.5" axle with a 4.5x5 bolt pattern.
The first day it arrived, we cut off the light weight ladder rack and began cleaning up the rust while I climbed all over this thing getting measurements and figuring out what I needed.
At this point all I knew for sure was that I want to run the same wheels and tires as my jeep to share the spare, and I wanted to put a rooftop tent on it.
Next stage of decisions and build in a follow up reply.
