KKtrips Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 Cheers guys - it isn't exactly the image I had when I was designing it in my mind but there is still a ways to go so the cosmetic side may just come together at the last moment..

KKtrips Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 Cheers guys - I am so sick of fabricating - its easy doing one side but then replicating on the other is tedious.. Also my arms and shins have grinding and welding burns, and it sucks but my beard smells like welding/burnt hair I nearly chucked my toys today doing the mudguards.. But happy with the end result.. Only thing left is wiring and lighting.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKtrips Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Cheers guys Rhys - the rearmost is 80mm off the deck and front edge of the main body is 130mm. It would have been perfect 100-110mm all round if I had welded the top half of the gooseneck where it was supposed to be.. (ie 25mm higher than it is now - I got all excited and only realised I had it in the wrong place just as I finished welding it on which was a LOT of welding) Ah well if it gets pulled up in WOF I can easily redrill and mount the rear shackles 20mm lower which will lift the rear of the trailer plenty enough (underslung works the opposite of normal suspension - ie lowering blocks actually lift the trailers overall height) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyGal Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 So so sweet. Are you still going to put engine oil on it? And you need an older chilly bin haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Yeah I will do - after WOF - I need to make sure I don't need to add any more to it.. And yes I want an old chilly bin - old Sapporo/Bundaberg/Dom Perignon fridge or the like would be meeeean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
