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.
Next I used 1/4 alum plate for the floor and bolted the rails to them. Then I used the stock plastic parts from a tamiya trailer and made my own alum plate to mount the king pin in.

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.
I also soldered the joint were the C channel met in the edges and corners.

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.
Here are some outside picks witch you can see the brass work better in.

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.
Stained the deck a Med Oak stain. Mud Flaps a Dragen

And I get a little burnage on the wood but not much it is all in how you control your heat if I can i use my big iron instead of a torch.
