Dutchboy's trailer

Ok so here are a few pics of Dutch and I working on his trailer. I didn't take any really good photos of the trailer's electrical but I will have that opportunity again soon.

Nice, I like the light in the fender deal. I think im gonna steal that idea for mine.

Renny, thanks for posting the pictures and especially for helping me with the build.
The trailer towed real well to Long's ranch, and I'll use it again this weekend to go to Trees.

Just needs a lick of paint now...

nice!

pretty damn good!!!!!!! For not being a welder, those will work!!!! Good bite!!!!

Thank you for the compliments guys. Told Renny to take pictures of the other fender with the prettier welds. Still learning this damn welding machine. Noticed that every roll of wire has a different personality, and makes a big difference in the quality of the weld.

yea, took me a while to get it down. I still have some moments, but it's still a lot of fun.

Beautiful, man! That looks really nice.

You say that now, Wait until there is paint and the final touches added!

Nice work fellas!

Looks good! Makes me want one.

Thank you guy's. Jeep is back on the trailer, ready for Trees tomorrow. My buddy is going to have a live band at his Cabin for his birthday on Saturday night.
Ray, you'll be happy to know I bought two cases of Shiner Bock.
Will be thinking of you while I knock a few back.

Atta boy. Shiner Bock makes any experience better. Enjoy.

Hey Dutch how wide is that trailer and whats the capacity? Finally got a truck so maybe I can tow my shit out that direction to go wheeling... its to long to drive in a rough ass JK. Im gonna start trailer shopping.

Trailer has two 3500# axles, with brakes on one. It's a twenty footer (18+2).
It has 82 between the fender, my jeep is 84 wide. Hence the drive over fenders Renny & I built.

With the jeep on it, I'm over the 7000# limit, so is suggest going with 5200# axles.
BTW, the trailer pulls great. Still need to paint the trailer and install the box with winch.

Damn ! loaded your over 7000lbs? How much of that is the jeep 4500lbs? The rest is trailer and stuff? I haven't measured my width but I figured I would be pretty wide once done with the axle build , makes me wonder how I can fit it on a 82" wide trailer... Might need even a touch wider. The trailer looks great , what truck do you tow it with? Im guessing it's that dodge?

Yeah, but not a dodge anymore, It's a RAM.
Most fenders are easily removable, so double check that on the trailer.
BTW I'm pretty sure my trailer is in the 2000# range and the jeep around 5500#. Include the box, spare parts, etc. And your over the limit.

But the axles are under rated, and I bet it can easily haul more.

Hahaha! Ram it is! Ya that makes since on weights. The 4 doors get quiet heavy once loaded out . I'm gonna be looking into rentals for awhile, see what I like and then when we finally get locked down somewhere and if I have room I'll buy one. Thanks again for the info.

Trailer looks good!

Thanks Tim. Glad I bought it.

That's a bad @ss Trailer!! Great job! Damn i need to learn how to weld. One of these days i will.

Great work on the trailer!

Great job on that trailer build!
