Looks fab. I love these 'building' threads.

Here are the latest pics. Got the mudguards on today and the step at the rear sides for the jerry cans.

Mate thats looking smicko...

not bad ladyboy!!

I would like to convert my 7x5 trailer that has standard holden hq hubs and rims to fit the land rover D2 rims. Preferably I would like to have hubs with Land Rover wheel bearings to minimize spares.

Can any one advise if this is possible or what would be needed to convert to.

please advise supplier and part number if you have gone down this road.

Cheers

Hi Adam,

Any particular reason you went with the axle under the springs rather than on top? Is this related to fitting shocks? Anybody like to comment on the pros and cons of each way? A local trailer manufacturer here reckons its dangerous to sit the axle outside of the springs as it can come away from the trailer if you bust the u-bolts, whereas the other way round its still held captive in the springs.

Looks like your bed will be an awfully long way up in the air! The jockey wheel looks like its on tippy toes. Will the drawbar tow level or will it have to dip down to meet the towbar?

Looks like a top project.

Keep up the pics!!

Cheers

Peter
