I am going to skip skiing this weekend. Freezing level is high today and I cannot justify the expensive of skiing on ice. Now, if it turns out nice and the snow is springy, I'll be very jealous of yah!

Curious, where are you buying your steel?

Everett Steel in Woodinville and Everett. They seem to have good prices and a great selection.

Depending on transmission choice. If you use the toyota tranny you may not have to mod them but Im not sure is the motor pulls the tranny forward or back any to affect the drivelines. If you go with a chevy tranny youll have to mod the flanges to work and the lenghts would need changing.

Im not to familiar with the swap as I havent been involved with onebut I do know the topic is out there and the swap is very common. Do a few searches on it and you should be able to find all the info youll need

As for my build right now... I just widend the axle's on my trailer but ran out of wire to finish welding them up to the trailer. I hope I get paid this week so I can get some this weekend and finish it up. This project is taking forever but SOON I hope to have it back on the trails. if not Ill

anyway back to work

Good to hear. I wish I was in out beatin my rig on the trails right now. When I got my motor it was pretty rusty in spots my guess from sitting for some time. It interaly looked great though. Ide say under 30k for sure. Hit me up anytime if you need some help. What are you doing suspension wise?

DIRTCO · 03-02-2008, 12:49 PM

Awesome build! I love the snow wheeling pictures, if that's not motivation I don't know what is.

Yeah everytime I go out wheeling with other people is motivation to get mine back on the trails

fillsrunner4 · 03-02-2008, 02:48 PM

Ive been wanting to widen my trailer axles for some time and also move them forward on the frame. This will help make the trailer more stabe when towing.
Heres a few pics of the work so far

ramps were strenthend and tabs were made to hold them in place while driving up them. The center bar is the centerline to the tires

Ramps pins are welded to the ramps and box tube is used to locate the pins

Oops forgot to turn the pic. Notice the box has room for the pins to slide. Also the ramps can be turned around to accomidate different size vehicles

Axle cut in half. Its 1 3/4 solid square steel.

6" wider and stronger

New mounts in the works. They need some extra gusseting before they are done but their getting there

That may be

its gonna have to be big though.

So I worked and hung My trailers springs and was working on the axles to check the pads and such when I found that my trailers so called brakes turned out to be a load of crap

Oh they did have pads but no actuators to move the pads. Not to mention the pads were all shot and basically fell apart. I had to order a whole new assembly and hopefully they will work with my drums and if not well then new drums will have to also be ordered. $$$ I dont want nor can really spend right now. This project has proven to be very difficult and very frustrating. I do love doing it all but today just wasn't my day. I guess there is always tomorrow. Sorry for the rant I just feel like

at the moment

Ill get some pics up soon to show my progress of what I have done and hopefully by next week my truck will be able to be towed by my trailer safely thats if the new parts fit right
