Ok, I took a few pics for you guys. Like i said, I'll probably make some more small changes and end up welding it in since I lost the big front hole to the receiver tube. When I do that I'll probably plate the sides up to the receiver tube.

I really like what you did and that was probably more practical than what I did. However, I really wanted a receiver on the front for longterm reasons. I'd like the ability to have a max coupler and a standard ball tongue. Obviously if I had it to do over I'd have had them just weld it on...

It was actually done yesterday afternoon but I wasn't able to get back over there. He was fast and reasonable so I don't mind pulling the hitch to grind down the tongue where he had to cut it with a torch. He charged me $100 to build the piece for the new tongue with a receiver tube in it...

Got the trailer back from the welder this afternoon with my new bolt-on hitch assembly with 2" receiver tube. Had to trim the ends of the frame due to the width of the receiver so it could have been welded on and it may eventually. For not it is bolted on using the existing bolt holes with...

Better than I thought!

My ideal solution is to put some led lights in the rear cross member. I've considered modifying what is already there as I know it is a simply wiring task to change the bulbs and wire in the correct adapter to my vehicle but I've heard this whole wiring kit has value to some people and if what...

Got it now I see better! Thanks!

I would assume as long as it is hooked to a vehicle and not moving it should work fine, that's how every other tilt bed trailer I've ever worked with has been. The possibility exists to keep the hand brakes with an electric brake axle bit I wasn't really planning on it. Honestly, my biggest...

I'll have to look more closely at that. I don't understand why the hand brake would have any bearing on the tilt function of the bed. In any case it isn't a feature I would use often, it's just nice sometimes being able to dump the mulch and crap out of the trailer quickly and easily.

I've wanted to go this route for a long time. I love the concept of an "offroad" trailer but also regularly need a utility trailer as even with 3 of us and a dog anything more than a 2-day trip backs the 4runner full. I didn't necessarily need one this big but this seems to be where the good...
