Gravel Pup trailer
I have been wanting to build one of these for a long time so here it goes. This will be for sale when finished. If anyone wants to claim it early, you can decide the style and finish. If not I will build it the way I want and hopefully someone will like it.lol Price will depend on the details of course and be decided when finished or spoken for.
I have a long way to go on this but here's what I have so far from today. Only a tandem axle. It rides on Tamiya trailer suspension... Reg |

Re: Gravel Pup trailer
It's strange how we live basically the same and yet what is legal or popular on the roads can be so different. Here on the island there are very few end dump trailers and tons of trucks towing pups. Another thing we don't have are lift axles. Very rarely do you see a gravel truck here with more than 3 axles and if you do it is a tridem. Same goes for the highway logging trucks. They are almost all tridem's now and use jeeps on the trailers, no lift axles.

Re: Gravel Pup trailer
Well the pup is nearly finished and ready for coating! I think this turned out nice and will be a great addition for someone. I need to fashion up a pintle hitch yet and add some mudflaps but that's about it. I am asking $1000US for this one. At this point I am undecided as to what color it will be done so if someone is interested please let me know and I will have it done how you want. The tub could be left raw but the frame should at least be coated black or something.
Thanks for looking! |

Re: Gravel Pup trailer
Good night, I messaged you about making a flat decks for one of my truck, and was wondering if it is possible.
Thanks, Kenneth. |

Re: Gravel Pup trailer
Twins anyone? I just have the box resting on my KW project. The cab on it sits back a touch further than on a KH so the gap between wouldn't be as small. I hope to finish this up tomorrow and get onto the next thing.
I will sell them together or separate. Sure would look good paired up with someones truck at Indy... |

Re: Gravel Pup trailer
Thanks Ed. These have turned out very nice. I would like to keep this setup for myself but doing that doesn't keep the bills paid.lol I'm not sure if I will have them coated in black or silver or if I should just leave them raw? I guess I will wait and see if anyone is interested before I do anything.

Re: Gravel Pup trailer
Looking good Reg!
The trk almost needs to be 6wd to tug a pup around though if the roads aint super packed!

Re: Gravel Pup trailer
Thanks Joe. This truck having open diffs and stock tires got stuck as soon as it left flat ground. I'm not surprised as it probably would have been struggling without the pup. New tires are on the way for the truck chassis and locking the diffs is on the to do list as well. I have both locked in my Hayes and just the rear in my KH. The difference in steering is noticeable but the gain in traction is worth it because I always run on dirt. I will be locking the front tandem in my KH too. A 6x6 will be on my list someday.

Re: Gravel Pup trailer
Did you weight all the tires, including fronts?
