Awesome.

-Congrats...!!!

 

Is there a reason you decided to go with a swing out tail gate instead of a fold down? I would think that it would be hard to keep it open if your on a hill and with a fold down you would get a work/cooking bench.

 

Thanks guys!

 

I went with the swing out because it's easier to get gear out of the back of the trailer, I can barley reach the front of the storage area the way it is. The door will have a latch/hold down that will hold it open when I'm at camp. The door also has a fold down table built into it, and the door will act as a wind block. A fold down tailgate would have been nice, if I would have designed the trailer different. The rear bumper blocked the tailgate from dropping all the way down (to get in the cargo area).

I also wanted to model the back of the trailer like my old Green 4Runner; I figured if I was using what was left of my first Toyota I might as well use a little bit of all my old Toyota's!

 

If it isnt all too much trouble cant we get an up close shot of those micky t's on the trailer? Would like a visual on the offset and overall look. Trailer looks fantastic. Alot of great ideas to into action.

 

I don't know what it would take to fab it up, but a tailgate like on a honda ridgeline would be cool. It opens like a regular tailgate and like on you're trailer. In this video it's in the first minute.

edit: I didn't know that you could just paste a youtube address and it would link the video up. Learn something new everyday.

 

Dual opening style tailgates have been around for 40+ years..

Trailer is looking awesome

 

Dirtco.... Your work is simply drool-inspiring! lol. Incredible!

 

Now how bout some action pictures

 

Thanks man! I'll take a couple pictures the next time I have my nice camera at the shop, the cell phone pictures suck but I always have it with me.

 

That's really cool, but it's too late to change things around now and I'm guessing it would be a little complicated. If I ever build trailer #3 (or rebuild this one) I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the link!

 

Thanks guys! It's been a ton of work, but it's getting close and it's defiantly unique!

 

wow i read all 16 pages of this and i got to say you are one talented welder/fabricator. I just got my first toyota so i can start building her up and on top of that my brother in law is going to teach me how to weld/fab a little.

Been very interested in this keep up the good work.

 

I looked at the pictures on all 16 pages. I'm looking foreward to seeing what and how you pack for a trip.

 

WOW dude. That trailer is awesome. It's nicer than my truck.

 

Hopefully I'll have some soon

Thanks man!

I'm sure it will take a couple trips to figure out what to take along, and how to pack it. That will be the fun part of the build!

Thanks! This trailer is without a doubt nicer than the truck it started as; I felt bad cutting that thing up years ago, but if I could have seen it now...

 

it cool man what kind of camping do you do? may be build some thing like a pop up camper? i think jeep made one now its toya turn
lol

 

Thanks! The last trailer was a pop-up; it was cool, but a little big/wide for the places I wanted to take it. It was kind of time consuming to set up, and overkill for one or two people. There's times I wish I still had it, but I feel this trailer will be better suited for the camping I do.

 

Here you go...
