Made a trailer for the Blazer(PIC'S)
 
No...not a trailer to HAUL my Blazer,but one for my Blazer to haul.

Took me about 3 weeks off and on and cost me about $1000.00 Canadian to build.(Christ,steel is expensive!)
It's 5'x8' with 16" sides.Has a 3500lb axle with 15" rims and trailer tires.

Thought it turned out well for a 1st time try.

Ran the wires through the frame so there are NO exposed wires at all.

Nice job,Bobby.It`s alot like mine.It`s 5x10 w/24" sides.How will you do the tailgate?

I'll just be useing two 2x8's stacked on each other.
There is a channel on each side that the wood will slide into.

I was going to make a steel,hinged gate but it would have added that much more of $ to the project and it's ALOT more complicated than just useing wood.

Flew by the seat of my pants on this one.

I searched high and low on the net for some FREE trailer plans but with no luck.

I finally quite lookin and just started buildin.

I knew what I wanted in the trailer and how I wanted it to look so I just transferred what was in my head to what you see.

I agree...it would be good for ORV and campimg stuff.

Bobby,you`re right about the tailgate.I probably have 20-30 hours into mine and alot of different stock for hinges/latch pieces.
