Trail King Drop Deck Trailer
Here is the build of my Trail King drop deck. I started with a set of Alum rails a buddy had cut out for me on the water jet and I added 1/2 alum angle to them with 5/16 stainless screws.
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IMG_0991.jpg Next I used 1/4 alum plate for the floor and bolted the rails to them. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IMG_0996.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IMG_0995.jpg Then I used the stock plastic parts from a tamiya trailer and made my own alum plate to mount the king pin in. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IMG_0997.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IMG_0997.jpg |
Next I did the deck out of 1/16 thick oak plywood and used brass C channel over the wood and the alum plate to finish the edges.

Here is the new milled ICC bumper for the trailer.

I used the leaf springs off a Tri axle tamiya refer to mount my axles on the trailer and I also added a lower brass angle rail to the C Channel.

Ok here are the finished picks I got it shot with a gloss black and added the DOT tape to the sides all I have to do is do the LEDs the winter.
