Very cool, those pictures are awesome! Makes me jealous just looking at them. I really wish we had terrain like that around these parts. Trailer looks good!

Thanks! I bought the gauge from Summit Racing, it was one of their own cheaper versions (I didn't want to spend over a $100 for an Autometer) and ran me around $30.00.

thanx. I looked pretty hard for one of those for under $100 also. I will give that one a try.
After all what good are batteries if you dont know how much juice is in them.

Hey Great trailer! I was wondering if you ever considered using a pintle hitch? you can get way more maneuverability out of it. Im sure you have a reason to not use one just a thought.

This trailer build is awesome. It makes me want to build one! Although my trailer would look like a 2 year old built it out of sticks, pine cones and a tub of play doh.

Awesome work. For it having a scrap frame at the base, it is a nice, nice trailer.

Thanks! Yes, there is a reason. I have two trailer couplers that are interchangeable; the first is my street coupler, it's easy to get on/off the truck and has chains. Second, is my off-road Max coupler that spins 360 degrees, there is no bind and it doesn't bang around like a pintle hitch.

Pintles are loud and clunky...dreaded whenever I had to pull a trailer in the army.

Hadn't check this thread in awhile..trailer came out awesome

Beautiful job. Your eye for detail really made it come out clean. Ties in sweet with the 4runner with the wheel and tire combo. Nice to see your vision come together, congrats!

Sub'ed! Beautiful work on the trailer. I love the setup, perfect planning and layout. Good to see how other people are building theirs! Keep up the excellent work.

Oh man I'm barely on page 8 of this thread and I cant wait to read the next following pages. Gotta head out for the night but damn DIRTCO I am loving this idea you had of reusing a Toyota rear frame/gas tank. I was talking to rustED about making a camping trailer of my own for the future road trip that my girlfriend and I want to go on. rustED reffered me to your page and right now I am super glad he did because I think this is going to be the route I take if I can find a cummy Craigslist frame or buy it cheap at a junk yard. I am looking forward to reading the remaining 17 pages brotha.


Thanks ahead of time for the kick a$$ write up! awesome work
