Just wondering if anyone has any box trailer plans? I've been surfing the net and can't find any FREE ones. I'm building a trailer as my senior project at school. If anyone could help, would be greatly appreciated. Cheers. -------------------- Current Ride: 2003 Toyota Hilux Singlecab tray back. Plates 882-LLU

Think that would be almost as easy. Have to design it then build it. Few people made em last year, but they threw their plans away . Its part of a certificate course, so we have to show so many competencies, like welding, planning etc. |

u can either do both as designing may not be apart of the competences and plus designing is a major part of the build hence why a planned trailer would be good , make a car trailer go 2 the drags go sus out everyones trailers get the parts u want from each and then ask someone if u can measure up there trailer |

Are you building this box trailer from scratch?? or are you planning on getting a tub (say off a Hilux) and just making a chassis for it? Here's a picture of what I mean: Its for automotive engineering, 2 certificate course. Plan on just building it from scratch, then selling it as i don't need a trailer. |

maybe he wants to build more than just an average box trailer, and the tips here are pretty helpful, eg r31baboon had some good hints, which he could add to his design folio. |

Not luck myself so I bought a CD on Ebay for $30.00 Also you might like to look at a web site showing Easy Trailer They have plenty of close photos to look at. These look very simple to build and you can put your own ideas in, like tie hooks frabricated into the design. Plastic mudguard like boat look sleek. But as you are doing it as a course maybe not. Check out ebay and buy the plans at $30 or go to a trailer place and get the measurements off a stock trailer. Get some photos for design. Simple designs Look at making assy easier than the others. Folding drawbars make easier storage and this might appeal to some. Anyone i thought I throw some stuff in for you. Good luck |

I kid you not - like $750 for a trailer that'll do the same job as any other. http://easytrailer.com.au/ No, I don't sell for em or anything. I'm just impressed on what they designed cause it's so damn simple |
