Trailer work Pics

Boy it was hot this weekend, and the rain coming earlier in the afternoon didnt help much , so i am behind schedule. But i got the new frame situated. I still need to add some more steel to connect the outer frame rail to the inner one. I will need to remove the axles and cut off the mounts and weld in the new ones. I am going to just used the "C" channel i have and go all the way across from rail to rail, this way i will have extra bracing in the middle for flex, but i dont not expect any problems, the trailer is built with some heavy gauge steel. 3/16 square tubing, and 1/4 angle iron, along with the 4 inch channel i have for the rails. Also going to make holders on th eside towards the front for the ramps.

 

there were two more stands under it. I just put the tires back under the jeep so i can yank out the tranny this week to get the dana 18 isntalled, then get my rear perch to get it mobile again

 

The axles i got are 6000 lb rating. fortunately a friend of mine has access to the old equipment trailers, the axles usually last longer than the traielr itself. so i am getting rid of the old cruddy axles and putting the new ones on. I laid the new axles on and they are nice, and will be an 1 1/2 of space compared to how clsoe it is now. i also will put fenders on it also.

 

it wasnt supporting anything. it was just back there to be there if something bad happened. the jeep is on stands. I seldom use the high lift, i have a floor jack that is much easier.

 

It is going to be wood. I can use most of what i had, just need to buy one or 2 planks, to make it complete.

 

Looking good Dan!!!
