Thread: Land rover Trailer Design

I have a 110 land rover ute tub and have collected the steel to make a chassis/frame for it. I was wondering if those that have gone before may have some drawings of what they did for the frame. I know there are other threads on here showing trailer builds but I am at work for another 8 hours and thought I would ask the question while I was thinking about it.

If any one has some plans or a link to the build threads it would be great.
I will look when I get home but thought I might be able to get a head start.

Thanks
Dean

Well technically I'm "multi tasking" Im still working but my mind is momentarily drifting to more important things while I work

There have been a few 130 trailer builds if you google them.

There are a few to start with.

Cheers,

Thanks Landover,
will have a read this afternoon

Not sure if my build is one of the links above....but use 50mm x 75mm for the chassis rails and don't be tempted to use dura gal

A true land rover trailer needs to run land rover hubs with hydraulic brakes.....

Are you have brakes.....apparently you need them if your GVM is over 750kg

Good luck with the build

Well today I was given a rusted out box trailer, so there is my axle and suspension. Hoping to "upgrade" to land rover stud pattern later

And yesterday I pulled a part 2 x steel frames consisting of 50mm x 50mm x 2mm square section gal steel tubes ive got 10 lengths averaging 2400mm long.
I was hoping to build a basic trailer under 750kg to allow cheaper rego and then add the extras later. If required brakes will also come later.

Nothing has been decided as yet. And with a busy few weeks in front of me nothing will happen in the short term.

Thanks
Dean

These are what I am talking about. I will obviously pay more attention to the second link . Maybe what I have is a wagon tub.
