OK good! I was thinking to myself "I hope he doesn't hate it cause he didn't say anything".lol I drilled the tail light holes, slots for tailgate latches and I'm about to see how to attach the spill plate. After that I will be moving on to the ladders.

What happened to the 1:1?

[bigford]

filters froze up. fuel guy left the hatch open on the fuel tank
a few weeks back and water got in. and with running low on fuel
i must have sucked up enough water to freeze up.

Fuel guy bad!

A small update. Tail light holes drilled, spill plate lightly glued in place(might need to come up a bit?), and the front flap mounts made.

Yes it appears to be very close to the same width especially with the super single tires. It always wants to flop over to the right for some reason and I sometimes forget to straighten it out for pictures. I'm not sure how to go about making it turn the correct direction while being towed. It probably needs some soft springs pulling on it from side to side to keep it straight. It looks like there might be room to install a lift servo if you were so inclined to do so...

Reg , look at steering stabilizer shocks with coil over spring. Will try and take a picture of my training wheels tomorrow .
Cheers!

Hello Reg If you put a light spring across the tie rod it will self steer. Ed

This is coming out really nice Reg.

Thanks guys! I'm glad you are liking it Mark. Hopefully it serves you well.

Here's a little update. It doesn't look like much is happening but this trailer is eating up more time than I thought it would. I like how it's turning out though so I'm not grumpy yet.lol

I added some springs to the steer axle. They aren't super pretty but they are mostly out of sight and they keep things straight. I finally finished up the flaps and mounts as well as the gate latches. Next up will be the ladders and then the tarp...
