  • Time for a bigger trailer

    As mentioned in another thread, my current trailer is a little under sized for the AATV.




    So I picked this enclosed trailer up for $600 from Kijiji





    It was a 2014 Stealth enclosed with dual electric braking axles and 15" tires.




    The price was right due to an I-beam falling on it lol. It's 2 years old but the insurance company has had it a year.



    I had the seller massage the side in a little for me with a mini excavator so I'd stay in one lane for the trip home.




    I got plenty of strange looks on the shor trip lol





    The first thing I did was attack it with a Sawzall, it took me about 4 hours total with the help of a friend.




    Now that the trailer was much less ghetto looking, my wife allowed me to bring it home to finish the transformation.



    Once in my driveway I stripped off the chip board floor that was original and framed the edge with 1.5" square tube and laid down a deck of 2x10 pressure treated wood. All secured with 3" Tek screws.





    I added a set of steel fenders and framed the walls, also with 1.5" square tube. (I have lots out back lol)




    I still need to build the 3 ramps this week and get the lights in. From the end of the wall to the front edge of the trailer I have a 66" opening for fold down ramps on both sides, I will be able to drive on and off with my max wearing the tracks.

    A few more days and it will be finished.

      Looks Great ! You sure couldn't by a trailer that size for the money and building yourself put a whole new sense of pride in owning it !
