Utility Trailer Project

I've seen people pull their unwanted boats and trailers to the landfill and leave them. Always wanted to make a bike hauler from one. Nice work bud.

Love the wheel covers. You can only see one side at a time. Right?

My late son would get every tilt one he could get ahold of. Shorten the tongue a bit, put a floor on it, instant tilt bed lawnmower/ ATV trailer.

Good idea for a lawn mower or atv. I've had boat trailers for as long as I have been driving and have never operated the tilt feature while loading or unloading a boat.

He built 4-5 of them. The ATV crowd would snap them up as soon as he finished one. Worked great, no ramps needed.
There's still a couple or three old fiberglass boats around here that he bought just to get the trailers. Just about impossible to get rid of them, they don't burn good, leave too much behind.

Finally got around to mounting my old winch on the little trailer. Mounted to 2 pieces of 2X2.





I made a frame on my new welding table for a storage box I wasn't using.

Welded it all together.





Wired up and waiting for a battery.

That trailer will be as handy as a Swiss army knife [cl

My glass T, now steel rpu has no bed but did come with a trailer hitch. I am figuring the cheapest way to build a nifty little trailer to bring along a spare and tools when i take out of town trips this winter. Thanks for posting DMW. Good motivation.

One-wheels are cool. I've got one somewhere in the berry vines waiting for it's turn.

Didn't they ads for those in Popular Mechanics back in the '50's? I haven't seen but a couple.

We had one back in 83. 'Pulled' it to Texas & back behind the 80 Datsun my wife had when we were married. We had a pretty good sized box on it, and when a truck got up beside us on the freeway, the car would first want to head in the opposite direction (truck vacuum working on the trailer), then as he passed it would pull us toward him. Going through the hills in Missouri we had to let it go on the down hill slope in order to still be going above the minimum speed limit by the time we got up the other side. (It was a four banger, of course. The speed limit was still 55 back then, and so we were considerable over on the way down the hills.)
