Here is a picture before the box part. 2x3 steel with a Dexter torsion axel...I believe I had made for 1800lbs...I would have to find the paper work on that. I do have to play with the tire pressure if I have the motorcycle up front. If there is no motorcycle and full tire pressure it will bounce off he ground on the bigger bumps.

I will probally be camping up by Mackinaw with the teardrop and camper this summer at one point or another....how far away are you??

Thanks for all the great photos. Very cool that you built the trailer!

Good News!!! Putting the hitch on tomorrow...got tired of the run around I was getting at the Uhaul dealer and decided to build it myself...with a little/lot of help from the guy that welded the camper trailer up for me!! I'll post up a couple more pictures after the install.

Very cool trailer and blazer....

elmo · 04-24-2008, 09:32 PM

The hitch is on and I am ready to go!!! Made up my own hidden hitch. I have to pull the plate off everytime, but no biggie!!

Here is an idea I had before I got my flip down plate I was thinking about makeing some sort of reciver cover that held my plate on. Just have to pull the pin and slide your plate off.

The first Blazer teardrop trailer outing was a success. Blazer did a great job pulling even with the 30-40mph headwind on the way down!!

**Yukon Jack** · 04-29-2008, 05:21 PM

Glad it worked great for you.

Sweet!! I want to build a toy hauler like the Extreme 4X4 guys built, big trailer with a pop-up sitting sideways on it. I used to build trailers for awhile in College ($17/hr, what can I say!) I had access to everything at the time but no $$$. You can buy one cheaper, but they are just that "cheaper"! My toy hauler will be long enough to do vehicles as well, thus doubling as a car trailer for the many projects I drag home. One Day!!

Man, sure looks good behind your K5! Been checking out the plans for those little trailers, and the possibilities are endless. I am about an hour and a half south of the Mac. bridge. Do get up that way some on vacations, though.

I am so envious, not only is your blazer running, it's on vacation. Two of my favorite things. Later, Mario.
