Wanted the perfect Yota hauler so I built my own. 82"x24', dual 6k axles. I inset 4" channel in the deck and welded 12k D-Rings every two feet. Coupled with stake pockets and rub rail down each side. If you cant find a good place to tie down on this trailer you have no business tying stuff down.

 

Looks like a job well done, Congrats

 

Nothing like the first Road Trip when it all comes together .

No plans for a Winch ??

Now that you have the trailer all your friends will be wanting you to haul their non running projects.

 

That came out great! What do you have into that in materials?

 

All in all I would say about $2600 including all welding supplies etc. same trailer would run me about 5k new and it wouldn't be personalized. I do plan on a winch at some point

 

Loaded down last weekend for the Deerlease

 

Well how did things work ??

Sometimes figuring out where to place the load can be the hardest part

 

It pulls great. I am going to change the length of the shackle straps to give me a little more room between the tires and fenders. ( I welded them in a tad too close and when the trailer flexes out it rubs a little) nothing that is a big problem and it can be solved easily. We adjusted the load a little on the trip home but it pulled great both 400 mile legs. I've got the center of the axles at 75/25 on the trailer and if I did it again I would do 70/30. It would make for a little less toung weight and would follow the truck a little tighter but that's splitting hairs. It's definitely a 3/4 ton truck type of trailer. The size of it you could overload a 1/2 ton pretty quick.

 

Turned out really nice!! Guess one day i’ll Be reviewing this to build mine.

 

For sure I can answer any questions anyone has
