What Trailers Do You All Run?

[70~K5]

Esteban, I saw a trailer last week with hinged fenders. Instead of pins he used old style jeep hood hold downs, the metal ones, with tapered pins to locate the fenders. Looked good and was fast to swing them in or out.

Here is mine. 18 footer with 2 foot dovetail. Rated at 10,400 with brakes on both axles.

I cant drive over my fenders. It came with removeable fenders. You had to unbolt four bolts per side and they would come off. That was a pain so I went with wingnuts on them and that still was a pain. So as of tonite I made them hindge out. You pull to pull-pins per side and they flip out on hindges and then flip back when your done and you put the pins back in. MUCH better this way. Much faster too.

The perspective of this picture looks all funny...

Like a minitruck pulling the blazer.. lol

Here;s mine. It's a Load-Trail. Dan, the guy I bought i from, made some sweet drive over fenders out of diamond plate with 5/8ths rod under for support

Yeah, I thought it looked pretty cool like that

I had that same perception when I saw the pics too

I built a 16' with a 2' drop out of a 12' dump trailer we had rated for 10k. It was mainly for hauling the cemeteries backhoe but will also serve as my tow rig trailer and parts rig hauler once I get the winch mounted. I have to modify the ramps and put stabilizers in the back for when I load the trailer. The fenders are made from 1/4" plate and plenty strong enough to drive on. Unfortunatly my trail rig isn't close to ready so I have yet to try and load it. The axles are a pair of 5K mobile home axles that were on it when I started. Eventually I'll probably swap on a set of 7k axles that can take normal tires.
