P.S. Sorry I couldnt find an appropriate Forum Category for this post.

Make them, that's the only option I knw of.

Aye, but how? Its not like i can find a bar with threaded ends down the street.-

You can buy All-Thread about anywhere though which is about the same thing. Check your LHS or hardware store.

This guy used some AX10 outers on his trailer:

Threaded rod through some tube and just buy some front wheels off something 2wd.

what level of fabrication are you wanting to get into with this?

if I were building a trailer I'd use aluminum box and L stock for the frame, no suspension and make it a solid axle. make everything bolt together.

i'd use threaded bar stock for the axle and "U" bolts to attach it to the frame. a few spacers and hex hubs to center the wheels on the axle.

I was going to do what M0nster is talking about, but, Me being so *slow* I dont know where I can get U-Bolts that small and yes Im going to use an aluminum frame and use mini-rivets to hold it together, Im gonna make the V tongue out of Brass though, (Just Preference) anyways, If you all could fetch links on where to get the supplies, that would be GREATLY appreciated, and It will be a solid axle, Im making this super durable compared to that Thread I posted about "What wire do I need" That was made out of casters, a shelf, and coathangers and solder. - I'm definitely going to invest more time and work into this one, I've got 2 sheets of aluminum and 1 sheet of brass and my tinsips and riveter, all I need is to get the wheel/axle setup. :mrgreen: "thumbsup"

In case your wondering, the platform will be wood if I can head down to home depot later.

bend u-bolts out of all-thread "thumbsup"
