New Trailer project

The center of gravity on the trailer looks REALLY high with the Honda up there. Just a thought....looks pretty good though for hauling cars and whatnot!

Plus, you may want to play with the position of the Honda on the trailer. IMHO, looks like it makes the trailer tongue heavy which could cause fishtailing during hard braking situations.

I weighed the ol' gal today, she weighs 820lbs without the wood and winch. If I go by the weight of the wood as listed online and the winch, I'll be looking at around 1250lbs when complete. Going to register it tomorrow

Just made the maiden voyage, 700 mile roundtrip to pick up the Mustang:




Made the winch mount before we left and it worked great! When not in use I can up-clip it from the mount and lock it in my toolbox or garage (you can also see the new safety chains in the pic):


It even fit in the garage perfectly, locked it up last night because we got home late and didn't feel like unloading

Here's a pic of the winch setup and I also mounted my 7000lb trailer jack today!

That's sick!!!! Sorry if I missed it, but how much did you pick up the original trailer for? Cool project, love the winch on there!

Thanks man, I paid $300 for the trailer, and after the parts to fix it up and what not I have about $650 total into it. Made a few trips with the Passport on it with no issues, pulls great.
