Great find! Like you I see much potential in this trailer. Excited to follow your build.

Did you change the stock axle or suspension?

if i were you i would replace the ubolts. ive seen it plenty of times where they look fine but when you go to take them off they just snap. where they go through the plate on the bottom is where they like to rust but you can't see it. cheap insurance

Can’t wait to see how it turns out Joel. Your handy, clever, great ideas. Congrats!

The key thing to remember about these trailers are they are only rated to 750 pounds of cargo on the highway and 500 pounds off-road. So as you start adding structure you quickly loose cargo capacity. Be aware, if you cut out the back panel you are seriously compromising the structural integrity of the side walls. I have the same trailer and the previous owner cut out the rear wall. The joints at the bottom rear corners of the side walls began to break due to the walls flexing in and outward. You can get a CJ tailgate and it should fit in the space the rear wall occupied, but make sure you incorporate something like a removable bar that runs from the top left/right corners of the sidewalls so they can’t flex. That bar could pin in so you can remove it for loading/unloading. You should also add a permanent crossmember or bracing at the bottom. If you can work in aluminum, you could solve the problem by “roofing” the trailer bed, giving you the strength to stop the side from flexing/bowing out and allowing you to replace the rear wall with a tailgate.

hi what type phone im looking for the deeper chirp 2+ 120hz 2k screen ? can you recomend any ?

Only keep the original tie downs.

Dude! Epic. Good on you. The video quality and editing are great. You’re making waves on the internet brother. Keep it up 👍

Nice setup!!

I’d keep the hooks tbh you’ll find useful for something. And if you care about holes in your bed, that’s more holes you gotta fill.

nice to see an ontario creator! cant wait to see what you do -- careful of the salt haha

What the hell kind of hitch is that? Completely illegal. Why is there shocks on a trailer. I bet the wheels are balanced also lmao😅

Super happy for you completing and passing your thesis! So, have a congratulations.... 3 years late. 🤣

Interesant! Cum este, merită, are randament?

Our garden trailer was severely damaged after leading to an in-law. We had to collect it from the side of the road by manually lifting on another family-members trailer. After another team member had a depressive slump, I managed to unload it myself, and the experience was just as precarious and irresponsible as what you did raising this trailer upright. I managed to fix our trailer so it is mobile and usable again, but haven’t done any more repairs or improvements since. This video has inspired me to continue the repairs. The new axle and a set of very nice wheels that I had lying around are a bit too pretty compared to the rest of the trailer. I’m looking forward to being inspired by what else you do to this trailer and will be adding this project to my “trailer repairs” playlist.

Def wanna follow this one. Had some great time spent following the cargo trailer retrofit. Any ideas about what the end result is going to look like? Sketch up plans?

Looking forward to your build. I got many ideas from your 5x8 enclosed trailer build.

Going ice fishing Saturday for first time ever. Red river Manitoba. Usually steelhead fishing in BC this time in the year

I have two of them. One functional and one in need of restoration. Very solid trailers!

I am building a Ben Hur 1942 military trailer. Love the video.

Looks good man. Glad you got that rust removed and covered with under coating. Now go blow all that black nasty out of your nose for 2 days 😂👍

Good video are you Canadian?

Try a dremel for the small spots

Cost?

The articulating hitch is already worth half what you paid. Not to mention the tires. Awesome find, and great project.

I am looking for one too!

600 bucks ? You basically paid for the wheels and got the trailer free

Great start, ❤

Super camper build so many things for handy uses 👍❤️ I missed the fuel used from the front of your camper. Still curious about what you are using for cooking with?

awesome build mate

Before you do any trips with it I'd go over the underside with fluid film undercoating. Really helps to keep the rust at bay, especially after painting the whole thing. I did it to my camper after painting it and it really helped. Great video ! Excited to follow along on another one of your trailer builds

Not bad of a deal for $600.00

One other consideration. Avoid building a tall stilt structure to mount a roof tent on. It will be too heavy and you’ll roll it.

Were it me I’d replace the leaf springs and rebuild the hitch. Remove any hooks etc that aren’t original. Build/install HD 3 surface fender. Remove that rear bumper abortion and rebuild the original frame structure but extend it out to mount tail lights on. Plug weld up all the holes in the tube and grind smooth. Best bet is to sand blast the entire trailer. Reuse that receiver hitch by insetting into the rebuild bumper structure. You’ll also need to fab up something on the back to keep the trailer level. Think ahead about what you’ll use this for. Replace the hubs/wheels with ones that match the tow vehicle lug pattern. This way you can use the tow vehicles spare on the trailer instead of carrying one on the trailer. They take up a lot of space. One of those HD trailer tongue storage boxes is the way to go up front. Might also consider mounting a RotoPak gas can to the front of the box. Doesn’t have to be huge…..3 gal is a decent backup for the tow vehicles. Mount a full size shovel along one side and a full size axe in the other. If you want to carry water consider an RV tank you can mount underneath the trailer. I’ve owned/built a couple of these for Rubicon wheeling.

Ugh i love this.

What a beautiful way to close a video!

That's a cool little trailer. I'm presently converting a 5x10. I really like your widow trim accent idea. Thanks for sharing.

Love those trailers, great score man, as far as the hooks better to have them & not need them and well you know the rest, have fun can't wait to see the results!

Leave them on

This is a cool trailer! I recently pulled a homemade truck bed trailer home from the junk yard it was a 1973-1979 Ford f250 frame and 8ft bed. Was really rusty so I pulled the bed and put a 90s Ford 8ft bed on it. Still not perfect but a good project and a work in progress. My next project on it is the oil wheel seal for the axle hub. But all in all I'm into for about $300 so it's not to bad at all.

Good call with the heater on the outside of the tent. Much safer not burning the O2 that's inside the tent. Use that for the people instead of the heater.

Hey Joel.. great video and project! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the build! Were all going camping again this weekend! If your not to busy you should come! One of the previous owners of your trailer will be there! lol

I have one of these with everything original. Bought it for the same build idea. Looking forward to this build series.

Awesome find!! Cant wait to follow the progress and see the end result.

Great Job getting most of the rust-off before u painted the trailer bottom. I woulda weld-up some of the holes on the bottom first. parts where u couldn't used the grinder.

Oh , and I'd leave the tiedown hooks for a while anyway. After a few trips with it, you'll figure out what you can do without..

You really should invest in some air impact tools if you're gonna keep doing these kinds of projects .. Can appreciate the value of hard work and manual labor just the same, tho ..lol....Gonna be a fun project
