I’m using rear Honda atv rims and tires and the tires are barely touching the trailer. So with a load in the trailer and the tires squatted they would really rub. I’m gonna see if I can get the 2.5”

What a pain in the @ss. I’m shipping the spacers back today and having to reorder the 2” spacers (biggest they offer).
The tire tread on the edge of the new 4 wheeler tire hits the bolt shown below so I need a tiny bit more space. I hope it’s all worth it when it’s al said and done. The tire size difference is huge. In the bottom pic the tire is just leaning against the trailer so I can think about how cool it will be

Shipped the other wheel adapters back and ordered new. I just go the new adapters in the mail so I hope to put them on tonight and have my fingers crossed.

I do have a front board that I need to trim and install. I also want to use some small square tubing to run along the top of the angle iron. Across the front and down the sides, like bedrails

equyst · 08-16-2018, 12:49 PM

cool trailers man,i like it

cva34 · 08-16-2018, 01:02 PM

Horse shoes make great tie downs....TSC has then..

Man did you get ideas

kmitchl · 08-16-2018, 05:35 PM

Is the issue with the center offset of the rims? I’ve actually mounted some rims with the valve stem to the inside to address this issue. A little awkward when you need to air up a tire but otherwise fully functional.

Mfer16 · 08-16-2018, 08:02 PM

good work

Never thought about that..... thankfully the wheel adapters fixed the issue.
I bought some slime today to put in the trailer tires. Can’t wait to get some blood in it and take a buck back to camp.

I think you will find these things are game changers for getting work done at a hunting camp.

Turned out nice

You rocked it with what you had available.... Can't beat that with a stick! Like said above.... TOTAL game changer!

Texas8point · 09-01-2018, 09:51 PM

Made the trip out west on Thursday and put the “game changer” to the test.
It’s a game changer for sure !!! Workhorse !!! I had an alfalfa bale, 2 30lb blocks and 9 bags of corn and it handled business.
Pics from out west !

Oh my it’s hot !!!

I’m sitting on my tailgate and a baby coon pops out and a couple of does walk out 20 yards from me.... that pipe to the right is our cleaning rack. Lol

First dove of 2018, end up with 8 (shot at 28 hahaha)
Found a few shed while looking for birds

You’re gonna absolutely LOVE that trailer. I think I said it before, but it’s hands-down the best investment I’ve made to upgrade my ATV/UTV’s ability to work. Total game changer for what I’m able to accomplish.... It works all year long and in the fall/winter even makes it easier to load deer.

BrianG · 09-02-2018, 05:46 PM

Very nice!

For all the work it can handle I’m really looking forward to putting a deer in it
