Talking My modified Carson trailer, because stock was just not good enough.

Here is my modified Carson trailer and I will let the pics and the video show you what I did to it. If you’re wandering yes I did run it through the table saw and multiple times too.









Click here for the video.

Thanks for looking.
Travis

Nice work Travis. You've defiantly got those screw drives down. Will it lift your loader or dozer? It'll be the perfect trailer for the forklifts.

I would guess it would lift the dozer and the loader.

Thanks Kent, I was hoping to have it done for Indy but it just did not make it.

Travis, that is just awesome. Can't say I've seen the sliding axle trailer in person and did not quite understand what was happening. But I watched the TrailKing corporate video and saw what it could do. Great job! Might you add a winch?

Default Re: My modified Carson trailer, because stock was just not good enough.

Thanks guys, it was Benny's idea and he asked if I thought I could do it so I just had to try. It took awhile to find the right trailer at the right price but it worked out in the end. The screw drive is real similar to the one in my dump trucks but it was easier since the puck just had to move the wheels.

I've got the truck as of last weekend and I'm not sure where the trailer went. Kind of mulling over what I'm going to do with the truck but it'll get something different done to it eventually.

Just curious, does it still have the single speed R2 and 6X6?

No its not a 6x6 any more and I believe its the standard 3 spd. Travis made me a deal I couldn't refuse and I'm kinda going away from shiftable transmissions because when it comes down to it, for running at shows they are kind of worthless. So I didn't pay attention to what it really has in it for a tranny.
