Default Trailer build

I started building a trailer a couple weeks ago and I thought I'd share my progress. I'm waiting on axle parts at the moment so I'm kinda stuck until I get them.

Thanks!

Here is a rough mock up of the decking. Just some scraps I had in the garage.

Thank you. You didn't miss it, I never said. My soon to be completed cc-01 Tundra will pull it. I don't know what to put on it, maybe an FJ Cruiser or my rally car.

Damn, that looks amazing. Is this going to be the Tundra's trailer? What are you going to put on it?

Thanks. Yep it's for the Tundarrr. I don't know, whatever fits. My rally car looks good on it though.

Thanks You're too kind



Almost done, but it still looks a bit plain. Needs safety chains and more reflectors and the spare tire

Wow, in one shot I thought you were showing the 1:1 trailer until I took a second look. Awesome job

Looks even better outside. Only thing I would try to add to it is the stripes that you usually see on white trailer wheels:

I don't know about pulling it. Something that looks like that should be riding on a trailer

They aren't mandatory, but I did try... A few times and couldn't get it to look good. Better to leave them off than have it look like shit.

Simple? Man this thing was a pain in the ass! Thanks, I appreciate it.



Done, done, done.
