Cody I always like seeing these as well.  I hope some folks post em up.  If you know the Holubs from over in your area you really need to see their gooseneck trailer that was built from scratch that is enough to make you drool.  If he would sell it, I would own it in a heartbeat.  Dog compartments, hog compartments, tool box, gambrel with winch, it is set up RIGHT.  I have only seen it once and I really wish I would have taken pics of it. 

If I just had a four wheeler then I would buy a 5'x14' trailer off Craigslist new for about $800 with the tail gate and then just add a dog box on the front and you are ready to go.  I like to weld so I would build from scratch but the end product would be the same.

I too like to weld my own stuff.....I built the trailer at first to haul water, but now it is not needed and will make a great hog-dog trailer....I have a design in mind, but you never know when that one "customization" will just have to be built! Grin

This is mine, I built onto what I had.  It is a 12 ft trailor with a removable hualer with a divider.  Need to put a rail around the top for the wheeler.  If I could start over I would use a 16 ft trailor, and load the wheeler in the front space.  But I had to make due with what I got and it serves the purpose well.  Lots of pigs been hauled in this one.

I just got finished with a bunch of modifications to it and got it back from being blasted and painted Thursday.  I'm going to take some new pics this afternoon and I'll post them for ideas.

I also still have a four compartment dogbox that I built to sit on the front of my old trailer which might work good for you if interested. (Cheap, too!)

Here's the pics.  Already dirty from running the gravel roads last week.  I can easily haul three four-wheelers; six dog boxes big enough for dogs standing up and sleeping overnight; hog box with sliding doors in the rear; running water to water dogs, cool hogs, and wash backstraps; plenty of room for gas cans, gear, etc.  Buggy hooks to the rear and tags along to be hooked to the wheeler during the hunt.

this is a 4 x 8 trailer that i bought and rigged up for hunting... the whole top of the cage with the dog box can easily be taken off because it is bolted on... it can also be used as just a regular trailer when i am not hunting.

this is the door to the dog box on the driver side

these are my dogs in the box, which i just recently added a board in the front to protect the dogs on the highway from wind and rocks and such

this is the gate of the trailer, the whole gate comes down so you can load up your wheeler ( if you dont have any hogs), and it also has a sliding gate ( up and down) for loading up hogs out of traps if you run traps.

im looking to do a few more things to this trailer but, for now it works pretty good, and not only as a hog trailer but as a regulat utility trailer also

I was looking for some other pictures this evening and came across these pics I forgot that I had saved a long time ago.  This was a trailer I saw for sale on Ebay and had saved the pictures for ideas.

Here is one for sale on CL, they are asking 8k for it.  Pretty nice setup, might give you some additional ideas.
