Welcome back we are almost done.
Here you can see I did away
with the stock fenders and
installed some bigger fenders,
I did have to cut about six
inches off of each fender
to make them look the way
I wanted them to look.
And I also did away with the
stock tires and rims.
( I would not feel safe to drive
very far on the tires that came
with the trailer)
Maybe if I did not plan on leaving
town I would feel secure with the
12" tires.
A lot of people do use the 12" tires.
But I will not, Better safe then sorry.
You can see there is a big difference.>>
So I ordered some new tires
and rims (175/70R13)at Discount tire.
The rims we're a special order
item do to the lug pattern is not
a standard pattern, So the rims
we're not cheep, But I figured they
would be a lot cheaper then getting
a blow out, and possibly wrecking or
rolling my trailer or worse.
( Just my opinion )
I would suggest if you order rims
you need to consider that the tire
is wider then the stock tire, So
be sure the center part of rim
is welded in the proper place so
that the tire dose not rub on
the trailer frame.
And I mounted the original tire
under my trailer for a spare.
Here you can see that I made
some running boards out of
diamond plate, You can also
see there is a chrome round
tube welded to a black piece
of flat stock iorn and you may have
of noticed on the previous picture
there was one on the front of my
fender, I will show you in the next
few pictures what they are for.
Here I am building a table that I
will eventually mount to the
chrome round tube pieces that I
showed in the previous pictures
Here you can see the table
it is made so that I can remove
it and put it in the cabin while
in transit.
Then I also welded a tube
support which will hold my
rear trailer levelers.
Here is the stabilizer
jack mounted and ready
to use.
I can also remove them
while in transit and put
them in my vehicle or
toolbox.
