    custom built trailers for our ATC'S - let's see some pic.'s!

    this is for all the guys who have had to build a custom trailer for their ATC!
    and no I don't mean those of us who just went out and bought a kit ! I mean the guys who went out got their hands dirty, took all the measurements, then welded it together!, and possibly painted it and added some good sides.here's mine it's built out of 3" C-channel, and 1/4" flat-bar where the tires are mounted, an old car roof-rack as a bed, and a piece of plywood in the rack as a deck, and a harbor freight 2" ball hitch, and it's painted flat-black, with some of my own custom work with a white paint-pen. but enough about mine let's see some of you guy's!
    here's a pic. of mine

    That is a serious log hauler. I have all the steel and tires for the trailer I was going to build, just haven't been able to find 4"x4" hubs cheap enough to fit in my budget yet.

    oh, you mean like one of those rack/baskets that fit into a regular hitch receiver
    and holds motorcycles or whatever all by itself?

    I saw one that had half moons on each side for the front and rear wheels of a 2 wheel bike hanging off the back of a motorhome.

    Surely could be made or modified.

    I put a 90 on the ROOF of the truck when the bed was full with a 185 and 2 other 90's.

    (overhang lumber racks made it simple, and it looked reeeeally stupid but we have waaay more fun than the multi quad folks at the dunes with all their fancy toy hauler rigs) and way safer than having something with wheels like a trailer following us over the mountain passes.

    Had no blue prints. We just planned as we went along. We made it the same width as an 85 BR The front end is from a golf cart and the rest was made from scrap material my nephew and I had laying around. I did buy spindles and bearings for the rear wheels. The tires and wheels I had laying around Tires are 25-12-9. My nephew is a welder and did the welding.
