Thread: LWB tub to trailer viable?

8) well its not impossible,
there is a fellow who goes around the swap meet circuit with exactly what you want to do with your tub.
he flogs pommie car electrics. the trailer is a landy series tub [don't know what model] and it runs on [i presume] rover car wheels, as he tows it with an old 3500 rover car [or something similar], so i presume he uses the same wheels as the car.
as for engineering cert. ' last time i registered a trailer i was given a plate to engrave 'trailer home made maker unknown' even though i made it.
just need a roadworthy cert.

8) and if you don't want it maybe i might 'if the price is right'

Its definitely possible, there was a SWB tub trailer on ebay a while ago, the guy wanted $250 for it. But people make their own trailers all the time, as long as the frame underneath is structually sound i dont see a problem. Wouldnt have the foggiest on how to go about it, but i want make a trailer with the old tub on my SWB project as i am getting a better one, so i would be interested in anything you find out. Matt

Bastard! I wanted that! But Brissie was just too far away. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

I hope you got it cheap - it was on for $50 and had no bids.

I look forward to pix as I'd like to do the same thing. It'd look good behind my County.

I still love this trailer.... just needs a nice tool box on the front A bar or another spare and it would look pretty cool then.....

How funny would it be if u left the back seats in trailer, u could take more passengers [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] or if u had kids say to them that if they are naughty your going in the back (trailer [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img])

Anyhow think this would be a bit heavy to tow .....

I was the same, but like you, brissie is to far away. I dont understand why noone bought it at $50 thats cheap. Matt

Which one was build first, the G4 as above
or this one seen in Cairns

Mate I was after that tub too. Contacted the ebay sellers but they never got back to me. Now I know WHY.

I'd love to know how much you did have to shell out for it.

I wanted it to fit to my ute, assuming that it has the same mounting points as a Defender Ute (which someone may be able to tell me).
