thanks guys i am quite happy with it and it has some weight to it so i am assuming the construction of it is made from steel which means it could carry some weight to it just going to add some mudflaps,reflective tape ,and trailer lights and some tie-downs then it will be legal for the road

That's a pretty nice trailer. I didn't even know Russ was planning to make these. How did you end up with one, if they aren't even available yet? Early prototype?

[1985 kenworth]

its the first one which yea its a prototype and a good one i may add.. anyway i finally finished the trailer so it functional and meets dot standards..added the lights ,went with the white mudflaps and the chrome tie-downs,i made the mudflap brackets for the forward axle with aluminum sheet .here are the pics and i soldered the extra set of taillights for the tamiya plug for the extra (3rd lense)light
the left one looks crooked but thats the beauty of working with thin aluminum sheet ...you can always correct it ...well in most cases
