Another Harbor Freight build

[Melven]

Here are my hatch supports and a couple tables I made. The tables sit next two each other so really if I want the table big its big and if I want it small its small. Made from TV trays and a teardrop table kit from ebay.

I cannot wait to get rid of those stupid HF fenders.

Have you figured out what your mounting method is going to be for the round fenders?

I've put fender replacement (hate the HF fenders too) and matching fender, frame, and tongue box paint as a "maybe won't get to it in time for summer" item. I'm having a pretty hard time estimating how long it will take to do things like wiring and cabinet finishing.

The fenders I got are huge like you said. I will post a pic tomorrow. I am probably going to cut them down and reshape them. Also eventually buy bigger tires. It will either turn out awesome or it will be a 75 dollar lesson learned. Haha.

Hope it works.

Here is what the Fenders I bought look like.

Here is what they look like after I chopped them.

Looks messy around the fender I know. They sealant I use is black. I will get it cleaned up and It will look good again. Also I will make some wood trim to go around the fenders. I like them.

You managed to squeeze a pretty good fit out of those things. And it looks like the door just clears them. And now you can use the HF ones for scrap.

Yeah they look alot better then I had imagined. Got lucky. Also I have room for some real tires under them still

Are you going to just put new wheels on or new axle also?

I am going to do bigger tires. If I have to get bigger wheels or different wheels I will but I don't really care so long as they don't look bad. I don't mind the red snowflake wheels as the are but the tires are pretty small and aren't rated for more then 55mph.

I didn't consider a different axle really. What would be the benefit of doing that would you think?

Load I suppose. But I am also not sure about the lug compatibility with larger wheels. Might be no problem. But I am pretty sure (could be wrong) that you'll have to go to a bigger wheel/tire combo.

I suspect my jeep wheels will fit my trailer. I put one of my trailer wheels on my spare tire holder and it fit. If that is the case some 5x5.4 cheepo wheels will work!

Well all right then. Makes it simple.
