I thought I would add a thread to keep track of my project. Here are the pictures of things so far.

Very nice. Looks like it is moving right along. I see a lot of people are putting rear receivers on the back, is that for your bikes? How long have you been working on it? What part of the country you from? Erv :thumbsup:

Started the last week of febuary building the trailer. Started the wood work on April 4th. The receiver is for one of those cargo haulers for things I don't want to carry inside the trailer. I am in Centerville, Utah and building the trailer for the deserts of southern Utah.

That is a great design for the frame. How long and wide is it?

by **jkidd6339** » Wed Apr 15, 2009 11:33 pm

5' Wide and 8' long. It might be a little short, but I don't want to get to big. If it ends up being to short we'll correct it on the next build.

Nice gallery jk. I didn't see the spare under it, good planning. So far it doesn't look to wide. Keep up the good work. Looks like you might be camping pretty soon. What have to got planed for the sides? Erv

I am going to skin with aluminum. The sides will get insulation and the interior will be maple I think. The spars aren't ancored in yet, just sitting there.

Your wheels look like the Mag Alum Wheels that Little Guy uses....is that where you sourced them from?

From my recollection, they sell them thru the online store.

Just curious!

Great job!....It makes me want to build another one. Sort of like what happens to women when they see someone elses baby.
