Default Cody's trailer build

Went pretty well. I've got tires and wheels on the way still. I plan on building many more. Its steel welded. I really want to do a dually gooseneck but funds aren't really in my favor on that one. Everything about is scratch built in my garage.

Looks good Cody, what size of steel did you build it out of?

It should no problem. Its fully welded with steel. None of that brazing solder crap here. My trailers can take a beating if need be. I think I'll do a gooseneck neck. I figure I'll build about 5 or so and get a vendor status then I can start taking orders for type, color, wheels/tires, etc.
