New to the Forum. (PIC HEAVY trailer build)

[Puddle]

Started my wheeling with this, 1980 BJ41 (Right hand drive Diesel FJ40), long story but moved on to a 04 Tacoma.

Sold the 04 last year and bought a new "project" 2020 TRD Off road. Nothing done to my new ride yet, Iron Man kit sitting in the shop waiting to be installed. The new ride in the foreground, old in the back.

Hello and welcome to Tacoma3g!

I am intrigued and saddened at the same time. Don’t you wish you could just keep them all!?

Looking forward to having you here!

Thanks for the welcome, The BJ was sold after paying $600 for shipping alone for a new head, exotic vehicles are cool in all, till you have to buy parts for something that was never imported to the US. Miss the 04 already, nice and skinny for the desert trails I used to wheel. Never left me stranded and got me everywhere I wanted to go. New life, new area for wheeling, new ride, just gotta learn how to pick the right lines for this "Fatty"

Welcome aboard.

PIC HEAVY! This is the current project that has the Taco on hold, since it's a "Build" I guess it's okay to be here (Not a Taco though) Started with a 5x8 cargo trailer and proceed to make it a Mini toy hauler / camper.

Trailer as bought

First pulled out paneling and added insulation

Reinstalled panels put in a forward cubby storage added some carpeting. Still have to cover the wall behind the cubby

Was getting burnt out on the inside, so moved to the outside. Put some expanded metal on the tongue and working on a propane bottle rack.

Ditched the stock wheels & fenders, put some Taco wheels on bigger fenders with a step

It will fit a small ATV

nice job on trailer, I have a 7x10 on order myself, also going to build a little unit out of it

 

[Puddle]

Fabbed up some cross bars (too cheap to pay $200-$300 for some bars, and mounted a roof rack and awning.

 

[Puddle]

Messed with the bed a little

This is a simple trailer, no water, no stove, pretty much just a place to get out of the weather and a Bear proof bed. I use coolers, water jugs, Camp Chef stove, baby wipes to clean up & a shovel to, ......well you know, unless I'm at a civilized campground.

nice job, would like to modify mine as well with some of those ideas
