[QUOTE="CHOP SHOP, post: 1224835, member: 17493"] So I decided it was time for a larger trailer. I was tired of bumming a tow or borowing a trailer to haul the stomper. I have a smaller car trailer but I seem to overload/abuse it alot. The solution was to build a 11K deckover dovetail tandam axle beauty! I would like it to be around 3000 pounds when done, that should be 8K in load capicity. The stomper weighs in at a little under 7500K. I got a pair of 5500K electric brake axles from a friend. He had gotten them to build a trailer, but just bought a new trailer instead. I ended up trading him out of them. All the steel was salvage. I set up a diff for a guy for the channel, I beam, and angle iron. The box tube for crossmembers was bought from a guy that scraps shipping containers for 10 bucks each ($150total). The box tube crossmembers are "Load stops" from inside containers, 2"x4"x7'6". My room mate works at FREEWAY TRAILERS and got me a killer deal on a bulldog adjustable 14K coupler. He also scored me a used 2x2 bulldog tongue jack. I used 16 twenty foot 2x6s for the decking ($120). I have got to get the dovetail done still. Then wire the lights and breakaway.:awesomework: [/QUOTE]
