Thanks Aaron! I hope to have it there, but it might not be 100% done.

Thanks! It's been a lot more work than I thought it would be, but it's really been a fun project.

The trailer was put on the back burner so I could focus my time on the new 4Runner. I was getting burnt out working on the 4Runner, and I need to make up my mind about a couple things. So it seemed like a good time to get back to work on the trailer.

I left off with these lame pictures ...

Time for a little update; the 4Runner now matches the trailer a little better! The last pictures are just sad ...

It happens, the trailer is nice because there's no pressure and it's all fab work. It will be finished when it's finished , Thanks!

I started working on the firewood / trash container a few weeks ago but I never posted any pictures. Keeping with the cheap or free theme I used some old square tube we had laying around, it had a little surface rust but was in good shape.





Then i got to work installing the expanded steel

That's how it sat for a few weeks, but it was time to get back to work making the one million spot welds that hold the storage box together.

I installed the front section



Then I worked on the side

I'll let you know, but I still have a lot of work between the trailer and the 4Runner. Do you know when it starts getting cold and snowing up there?
