The Taco Anchor

Started building my trailer a few weeks ago
ordered my axle throw abc trailer parts got a 3500 pound axle and 2000 pound springs
built a frame from 2 inch tubing some of the tubing is 3/16 and some is 1/4 inch this is tubing i had setting around from other jobs i put my cross pieces in 1 inch low  so i can recess  my deck boards so they will be flat with the tubing
I put a ball hitch on for know will be changing that out at some point

That looks like a great start, I look forward to the updates as the build develops. Those old hankooks look good on there.

Looking good. Where did you mount your axle?  Did you use the old 60/40 rule

Sounds like that rule will work just fine....lol

Cool cool. Once I get my springs rearranged on my trailer you can have the left over wee springs for yours. For spares...
Ya think the RTT truck rack will be transferable onto your trailer for ease of mounting?
Love the name of the trailer too

I plan on skinning it with sheet metal

Very nice Muf, looks super strong 'n rugged! Now ya just gotta get some wheelie adapters or a 6 lug axle.. Or are you gonna keep the Jeep pattern?

going to keep the jeep pattern for right now still need to do lights and skin it and redo the hitch
that i got off you

Very nice

Looking good muffin. Going to be doing a top for it or leave it open?

I might redo a tonneau cover to fit and I need to build a rack to put my tent on if it ever stops snowing

Nice. Its coming around and looks great!

Been studying trailers myself. I'll watch your build. Well done so far.
