Fwiw, my father in law has the same size and style trailer, 18'x8' PJ buggy hauler. It's only a 10k and not even very sturdy at that. It's about 3500 lbs. So you can only really put 7k on it.

My 22'x8' 14k deck over is 4500 lbs so you're up to about 10k.

With yours 12k should be no problem. But also not a heavy bastard to drag around when you just need to haul a regular vehicle.

i Drug it 1000 miles with my f150 it did great but the roads were so rough i lost 3 centercaps and my F150 hated it

This thing fucks !

Love it !

Thanks

Good lookin' trailer! I hope that's not treated lumber though, that shit is really corrosive.

Thanks And yes it is treated lumber I am not worried about it though the sun has cooked the Deck and paint

Sucker is lit up like a Christmas tree!

Digging the build but also really digging the crane mounted on top of the gooseneck trailer that's in the background of one of the pictures.

That is another build I started and have not completed. yet Still working on my new shop so it takes priority over some projects.

Very cool trailer build

Quick question: where you mated steel to aluminum, did you do anything special or is paint sufficient?

yes, Everywhere they are touching i used a high density polyethylene plastic, all steel is painted and bolts are coating to reduce galvanic corrosion.
