Thanks. Been short on time lately, but I'm still working on the fenders/steps. Bought used steel for these. 30$ total.

Just ab 500$ total. Still need lights and tires.

looks good!

I went by a farm supply place last month...... they wanted $1000 for about what you have there so I'd say your doing good.

I agree, trailer prices are high for what they are. Especially mass produced ones.

Yours looks good

I agree. Prices are out of wack bc high labor and fuel costs. My dad just bought a 6x12 HD 7500#. 3000$ brand new. Nice but you can tell they skimp everywhere. Looks good though.

I haven't had much time lately. I cut off old fenders and bought round ones. Removed center brace bc axle travel interference (doh) an replaced it with channel. remember to always install the decking last(thanks pop, he said that right away and I didn't listen). I welded on d rings x 4. And sprayed the bottomside while it was upside down.

Now just gotta

Flip it
Weld on fenders
Weld on light brackets
Drill 10 new holes in channel
Spray
Bolt up components-coupler-axle-lights
Run wire through pre drilled holes
Grab some new tires-walmart appears to have best prices
Bolt up deck

Trying to get it done this week as deer gun season starts this coming weekend and I am haulin some carcasses hopefully. #northwoodswisconsin

Looks good! I like the integrated D-rings! Looks like you've got yourself a pretty darn nice trailer for $800
