tamiys trailer question
 

has anybody mounted the king pin right to the floor of the trailer
thinking of trying to get the trailer a little lower

Re: tamiys trailer question
 

yes I have one that the plate is mounted to the floor
tried to upload a picture but photo bucket hates me for some reason tonight

Re: tamiys trailer question
 

I have one of FGD's A-trailers and the king pin is about 5mm from the floor, I can post pics if you want..

Re: tamiys trailer question
 

just thinking about how to get rid of the big gap over the rears

Re: tamiys trailer question
 

it dose look better for sure
my trailer is a Freddy gear drive also

Re: tamiys trailer question
 

I see no issues other than having to have the trunion re positioned so that the trailer does not slope forward. I would think this would make the stock box trailer look alot better when coupled to the truck. Flat bed or tanker the full frame looks ok

also be carefull if you have fenders on the tractor. it will scratch them to ****

Re: tamiys trailer question
 

trailer will stay stock for this weekends show
but after that we will fix that gap

Re: tamiys trailer question
 

I did that to my flatbed trailer. Seems to work alright, but I wouldn't take it off road. Sits a little too close to my fenders. There are picks of it in my "globe" build thread.

Re: tamiys trailer question
 

thats what i was thinking tracy. just
need to keep it off the grand hauler fenders

Re: tamiys trailer question
 

If its still touching the fenders you could raise the turntable skid plate a mil or two with brass that way you don't damage them while keeping the front of the trailer as close as possible....
