First ever pics of my trailer project

cactusjack · 08-03-2008, 12:07 PM

I was up early this morning, attaching the trailer hitch I ordered from Chuckster. Here are pics of the basic trailer ready to go to the DMV to get registered. Note the finished trailer will not look like this. I assembled it by the book to get it inspected and registered. Once I have the tag, I will modify it for my project.

Here's the hitch mounted on my Nomad. Installation was super easy and only took about 10 minutes.

Finally, here's the trailer coupled to my Nomad.

Dude! And you got it up before the temps hit 100<sup>o</sup> too!

Way to go!

I figured there'd be a little grinding of the bolt holes or something. You know how these things go.

It was still miserably hot. I wasn't doing anything strenuous, just sitting on a stool turning wrenches. My shirt was soaking wet. Done for now, I'm going for a ride!

Resident bon vivant and consumer of fermented grains.

I'm cracking up!! That is great CJ....I was such a consumer yesterday!!

Looking forward to the finished product {trailor}

You should have room for LOTS of fermented grain!!

Well done CJ! "Tira avante" means loosely onward and upward.

racinchef · 08-03-2008, 02:27 PM

I'll bet you could fit a keg, cooler, pump kit and portapotty on it!!!

**ringadingh** · 08-03-2008, 02:33 PM

Make the trailer watertight so it can hold some ice and a keg!

pirate · 08-03-2008, 02:47 PM

Looks great, CJ! Ditto on what Racinchef said!

08-03-2008, 02:49 PM

we'll need the port-a-potty if we're having a kegger party/rally!

I'll carry the Motrin for the next day!
