Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey guys a forum member I went wheeling with on here has inspired me to want to build my own custom trailer.

I currently have a gq patrol on gu diffs with 15x10 inch beadlocked rims, so my truck is quite wide so drive over axle will be required.

I am chasing some pics of custom trailers as I need more inspiration.

Cheers in advance

Regards
Mitch

What are you after, drop into goldies trailers at narara, some pretty impressive stuff comes out of there.

After some pics. Not looking at buying one I want to build a new one to replace the one we have at the moment

Mitch

Yeah wasn't getting at buying one off him but it will need to be approved for rego, they may be able to help out with suitable materials, chassis design etc. I'm in middle of building a trailer out of an old ute chassis and will be dropping in there next week.

Yeh I know about the rego side of it we have already built one. I might go check some of theirs out.

I was more just looking for designs on over axle ramps etc

Regards
Mitch

make sure when you build go with a centre pivot between the two axle springs and NOT seperate spring hangers.
its like a see saw........ tows the best, and evens the weight out if loaded UNEVEN!!

You could also try have a removable guards and drive over the trailer tyres them put the guards back on. Have seen this done.

Thats pretty clever.

saves making super strong guards which weigh a lot and thus reduce your capacity!

only pic i can find of mine atm



2.4 wide with drive over guards. weighs in at 720kg and rated to 3.5

Full curtin sider, 6m long, tilts, winch, 4000kg rated now with 16" wheels and tyres (6 stud). Can live in it

anyone know of a place in cairns that can build a decent box trailer with coils in Cairns.. need something decent to cart my uad round up the cape, and dont have the time to do it myself!

what did that trailer cost you josh if you don't mind me asking

I build horse floats and trailers for a living and the best advice I can give you is to ring Marshall Engineering and speak to them. They sell everything you will need cheaper then anyone else in Australia and will happily give you all the advice you need including the correct offsets and speed/ weight rated tyres for the trailer.

This is there web site which also has all the prices on kits to do it yourself. Also don't forget to get the latest rules and regulations before you start and check up on them again before you get your Brown Slip as the rules are always changing.
