Moab Pit Trailer (WIP)

[Ldub]

Found a deal on a 4 square trailer that I couldn't resist...

And since I've been thinking that putting 26-2700 less miles per year on expen$ive off-road rubber couldn't be a bad thing...
(Hey, I can rationalize shop with the best of em)

I decided to start another project...

I was thinking a row of LED's that are tied into the brake light circuit would look good in the indent.
And the TSC badge gotta go...
That'll no doubt be replaced with...oh, I dunno....maybe something with a Skull & some bones?...
Anyway, here are some WIP pics...

Insert two cents:

Nice, but I think I would be a little concerned about the weight hanging over the back edge but you know what your doing and what you'll be carrying.

Good point John, but to counter balance whatever is in the box, (alum floor jack, alum jack stands, oil, nutz-N-boltz, extra shocks, tie rods, etc) I have a set of of 35" tires on 20" wheels that tips the scales @ 400+ lb...
They sit four wide across the front.

And to say the box is overkill mounted to the floor of the trailer would be a blasphemous understatement...

It'll be about like this, only gnarlier, when done...

Sooooo, how long before it gets a lift and a couple of those 35's end up on the ends of the trailers axles? Also a matching paint job...silver with flat black fenders!


Oh yea....needs more cowbell!

Good point(s) Guys...

I was thinking a long arm four link with coilovers & 33's might be sufficient...hmmmmmm...maybe I just found a use for my almost bald Mud Grapplers.
Of course I'd need to fab up some wider fenders...

Cow Bell?...look real close when you get to Moab...

Still haven't quite decided for sure, but...

I'm thinkin the trailer needs a little sumpin-sumpin to set it apart from the herd...
I be leaning toward the top one in the pic...

Does the downforce give you better traction?

Added bonus is you can use the wing for a lunch table on the trail.

I don't know why, but when I read "pit" I automatically thoght BBQ and was thinking that you bought one of those awesome huge BBQ trailers to haul to Moab so you could cook everyone ribs and pork and chicken.
