I only have this because I had the pipe, had the U bolts and a customer (prof pipe welder) who owed me a favour!Quote:

:eek::confused::confused::confused::confused::eek: :wallbash::woot::huh::unsure::blush:::
as a side point that lookslike a very nice drive way to spill oil on, its black :D
Bought it off a guy who dragged it from over your way. Looks like it has the same frame!Quote:

They may well be the same thing!. Mine looks a bit back yard and has had repairs to it, but my drawbar connects by a hinge arrangement to the frame.
buy tip l guess your saying the end of the draw bar connection to the underside of the centre of the chassie ...if that the case yes it does..and it is bolted and has allso been welded for extra strength;)Quote:

the bro inlaw is a boiler maker buy trade and has built a few trailers in his time ...hes of the opinion that the fram is a really good base ..so im trusting in his jugement
By tip I mean tipper tray bolts to the draw bar. My drawbar is a little different in that I have a std A frame arrangement where as from your pics it looks to be almost like a single bar.

wish i had cad ...would be nice to draw it up

G'day Matt, my opinion on your build is, keep it simple the setup i would go for would be too keep the trailer wheels the same as the tow vehicle.
Everything is available from any trailer place, I'd get a 45 square axle, LR drum or disc brake hubs (ELECTRIC OR OVERRIDE) with Ford bearings, 7 leaf rebound springs rated too 1000kgs, the springs come complete with hangers and shackles all you do do is weld the hangers in place with the springs attached, 500mm sides, offroad hitch.
This would be the basis for a good strong offroad trailer/camper.
Custom anything means more money, unless you can do it yourself.
EDIT This is one of the best trailer builds i've seen

Just my 2 cents.

...after all the guys that had it be for me had a camper of a cub style on it and was really giving it a work out over the last few yrs on Fraser regularly they get a bit of a work out over there as you would know if l go the hole hog l may as well be building a new one from scratch ;) which at this point maybe wouldn't be a bad idea...:eek: says the swmbo
also l had the rego changed over yesterday and the thing is already rated at 1.2 tonnes so WT ;)
