Title: Huntin trailer build
Post by: justincorbell on February 16, 2016, 10:12:50 pm
Been saying i was going to do this for FAR too long now, finally got around to startin it.

I have a 16" dovetail i haul my buggy on and i wanted a trailer that i could leave attached to the buggy when transporting so i opted for a single jetski trailer as my base to keep it narrow. I picked up a used trailer for 200$ of facebook and promptly cut it up and took what i needed and began the build. It is 40" inside the box, 48" to outside the wheels and 6' long, it will have a side gate, divider gate and rear gate when finished.

Im not 100% sure yet what i am going to do up top, im considering either dox boxes and a bench seat combo or a 6" raised rail all the way around and a bench seat up front or i may exclude the bench seat all together and do a different combination ( any opinions will be greatly appreciated)

Anyhow here are some pics of the build so far. Doesnt look like it but i have quite a bit more to finish including hanging the divider door and installing the latch, welding in 2 more 1" supports in the floor and 2 more to the ceiling, dropping in and tacking the floor, (4x4 utility panel) and laying 3/4" horse mat cut to fit to cover the panel and the same for the top.... and cutting 1/2" plywood to fit in the divider gate as well as on the front facing the buggy.......off the top of my head haha.

Looks good bin laden jr.  ;D but wouldnt it have been cheaper to buy one already built, like mine?  ;D im just funning you man. But seriously, its looking good. Looks similar to what i built. I put the smallest highway rated tires i could find so i could pull it behind my atv/dog trailer. When i get hm in a couple wks, ill txt u some pics of my lil pig waggon, but your side, divider and rear gate idea, along with a bench seat up top, i did to mine in stages. Foot rest area was open at first, then i closed it in where i could put a dog or 2, a cooler or jugs of fuel n water or a closed in foot rest. I put a guillotine divider and rear gate and i chopped the axle down so the wheel width would be 48". I think u found my buil pics and started copying my design. Im gonna have to go to the pattern office and lodge a complaint.  popo

I would go with the dog box and put a seat in the bed of the buggy but from the looks of it its gonna be a good looking rig no matter what you do to it

Im leanin heavily towards doin this to be honest. A couple dog boxes on the back 1/2 and a 6" raised rail around the rest for coolers and whatever else.
