So I need a enclosed trailer to leave m tools and mx bike in. It will double as a caravan when away racing and will be used when I get off my ass and come down and maybe over for a ride with you guys.
Been at it for a week the plan is to be finished in 4 more weeks.

You might consider drop axles for easier loading/unloading although I see you have the wheels above the frame.
Doesn't that make the width inside a pain?
I'm on my third horse float and getting things in and out with standard beam axles can be tricky on some ground.
Good luck with the build, Nice wheels.
Have looked at drop axles and may go that way down the track. Its a poormans base station and will have racks down the sides over the wheel wells so not to worryed about them.
Lookin good Matty. Saw some Base Stations at Panna when I was there and they were really kitted out.
i like that
If I ever need elephants moved I'll call you first Matty.
looking good matty thats gonna be awesome
Make sure you check the Reg's they've changed for over 1500kg, you'll need brakes on both axles and if over 2000kg breakaway brakes.
I went for electric as it was easier to wire up rather than plumb up hydraulics, bloody expensive but cheaper than breakaway hydraulics!
and steer clear of cable disc jobs we run them at work and wow repeat business is say they just fall apart , electric is the go
So after a my mig died, i had to wait for a new one to turn up. New mig here and a few more lengths of 25x25

fuck that some work, bet your glad thats over
how do you find the everylastmachine? I looked real hard at them for a tig and am intrested in their 50 or 60 amp plasma.
There pretty good, had my first one for around 2 and a bit years and put 2 25kg roles of wire through it then the wire feed motor died a month ago. Call up everlast and a new one turned up in the mail 1 week later. i'm stoked with there service, they are keen to please. I had there 60amp pilot ark plasma and it was a good bit of kit but didnt use it much so moved it on. last i heard its going well.
Good to hear thanks Matt
Sheeting has begun

That trailer is a shining example or dare I say, a reflection of your attention to detail!
Fuck, I thought it was a pop-top at first glance!
And that sir is why you are the king..... :-)Quote:

Nice , Thinking of making a 5th wheeler to go on the back of the ute atm around the same size as your trailor with goose neck adding a bed compartment. And giving Big bad burtha the flick.
Goose neck, go big!
Na the point was to keep it light and small whilst still having some room inside for a bike at the back. You can buy a 5th wheeler for Vp ute but they are still a little on the big size (and a custom one would be exxxy)
So DIY I think, keep it under 1200 kg total for 1600kg with bike etc, ute pulls that just fine on tandem with a couple of steers in it.
Fuck me Matty you dont do things by halves Mate..are you in Kunnanurra or Karratha ..either way raw materials must be bloody pricey ...
Karratha, and yes $$$$
im flying back up this arvo..we will have to catch up one day soon Matty..il be wearing my ASF Racist T
