Well,

We do have plans at top of the page or you could use your bought plans and modify them to your own design. As far as the trailer goes, you can buy different trailers that have bigger wheels or get a custom one.

First off, use complete sentences and punctuation... It will help others to understand what you are asking :thumbsup:

What about this trailer?

12" wheels and not that expensive... and like rbeemer said, look at the design library at the top for more ideas.

Take a look at the Generic Benroy plans at the top of the page. It is a very attractive and functional design.

Also take a look at the HF web site. You can get their trailers with bigger wheels. There are also a lot of other options for your frame. Keep looking over the site and studying other builds. It takes a while to discover what you really want and how to go about it. That's half the fun!!!!!

Good Luck,

Mike

You can modify the crap out of those HF trailers. I have the 1700 lb. trailer with 12in wheels. :thumbsup:

I would think you would be money ahead finding a trailer that IS what you want, or building it, or having some one else build it for you.
What I have seen of the HF trailer builds is that they are often heavily modified, and frankly need to be.
Consider something like http://www.tritontrailers.com/products/ ... ubCatID=45
