I'm a reasonably handy guy and have experience with construction, plumbing (although I don't plan to have any in my TD), electrical and even a little welding. I enjoy projects but am looking forward to the using of the TD more than the building of it so my plan is to have it completed in 4-6 months.
I'm planning to begin my build very soon (probably do a little work this weekend). I already have a trailer for my "foundation". The plan is to remove the deck and the top rail. It's built from angle iron that is 2"x2" and 1/4" thick except for the tongue which is 2" square also 1/4" thick and it sits on a 3500 lb axel with 15" wheels. I want something sturdy enough to go off road but nothing too extreme (mud bogging, rock crawling, trail blazing). Weight is a lesser concern since my TV is a Toyota 4Runner and rated to tow 5000 pounds. I'll start a build journal in the appropriate section soon but here are some pictures of my trailer and an initial design I sketched. Let me know what you think.
