• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

My homebuilt trailer

Here is my home built trailer. I have just over $600 in the material. 48" x 40" ply box on an Al trailer. I have 3 water proof box that are a good fit. It's kind of crude but good for the cost.

weight of trailer

I have not weighed them...but the axle is well behind center so sway should not be a problem. I will load front heavy which will aid in tracking. I put a small spoiler on the back which will help with lift. I'll report on ride after I try it out tomorrow. I have much experience building trailers.
 
Well done....

Nice job...:clap:how does it pull..? If no info get back to us when you have tested it out...:thumbup:
 
Might I suggest putting a rounded piece of light sheet steel or plastic across the nose and closing the sides in to aid in aerodynamics. That flat face, even though you angled the body some, is going to dig into the air.
 
I have a suggestion. Take the small leaf spring off. I did on my trailer and it tows much nicer without bou cing around. That trailer is rated for much more than you will ever load in it. It is very easy to remove the leaf. You will thank me.:thumbup:
 
small leaf spring

I'm not quite following you. Do you mean the smallest leaf on the spring...to reduce the stiffness? I'll keep that in mind as I test it out.
