Static Toe-In Angle Question on Hubs

[ssuuki19]

1 by six pressure treated decking board, its great for the job, all the wood is clamped to the frame with 10 standard u-bolts (*plus 4 bolts in the frame)

brand new same Flexiride 930lb adjustable spline half axles, same wheel spacer adapters from the original stripped down version

wires on the tongue still to be fished into the junction box to fully clean up the look

Test two

my design approach is there to be seen - hopefully simple

won't hold much, but that box is about 4 foot four by 8 foot nine so she'll fit some plywood and osb and whatnot without pinching the fingers

its light its less than three hundred pounds for sure, and remember i can take these 10 standard u-bolts & 4 lag bolts off, drop the cabin back on & 8 lag bolts and go for a road trip ;) until then.. the barn fenced stripped down aluminum half axxed laydee is back on the road logging miles ;)

Its been a while... ummm.. uhhhh... the damn trailer still trails. It works. I never even greased the hubs. To put book-ends on this post perhaps I should take those darn warped half axles and make that darn ATV trailer ... at some point. But just for now, she still tows, she does work, because I don't own a pickup truck so I need this 4 1/2 by 9 trailer. Over and out for now..

Its been awhile... the barn fenced chassis is by far the best thing I have ever made. Fender impacts have been made on both the driver and passenger side. On both occasions, the thinner angle aluminum holding the fender took the stress and severely bent before the 'driver' realized the fender was catching something.

On both occasions, removing that piece of aluminum angle, copying the holes onto a new piece, re-bolting it, and re-riverting the fender made the trailer look as if no accident had happened. The fenders are fine. Two scraps of angle lost.

Both sides.. one happened in reverse, one happened in forward. Both simple to repair. Yes.

I should take a picture:
