Re: Dirt Bound Offroad Trailer - Build Log
Spent a few hours this weekend and got the rear tailgate on and primed and painted the main color.

I got some new foam for a new mattress and made a new cover for it. I mounted it to the jeep and tested it out and I slept so well... Ill never use a ground tent again haha.




This morning I headed to the steel yard with a bunch of sizes and had them cut up 2 4x10ft 16g steel sheets, $160 later I had my steel for the sides.

The front box I folded the top lip. (It helps I have a shop full of metal working tools.)





The sides I welded on the inside so once it is done you will see the frame work.


The trailer looks sweet! Where was this picture taken though?

Re: Dirt Bound Offroad Trailer - Build Log
I'd bet the trailer alone is more than 500.
