Phase 1 Trailer build done!
A couple weeks ago I picked up a free and very old trailer to re-build for my off road trailer. That trailer is gone as a friend opened his garage and convinced me to build from scratch. He had a ton of scrap metal kicking around so my plane is still to save as much money as I can. So, here are a couple picks of what we got done on Saturday. It's going to be 3x6.
I ordered my hub and spindle today so we can fab up the axle to work with my JK rims and tires.

Man am I jealous!!! I would be dangerous if i had my garage back. Now I live in a condo with no garage and would like to build something like that. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Had to stop by my buddy's and grab my spindle yesterday. Not a great pic, but we have the springs and tongue on. Not a great pic, but more to come soon.
I am having an issue trying to find the axle tubing for the spindle I bought. Looks like it is an odd ball diameter (1.75") so I am having an issue finding the tubing to fit it in! Any ideas?
