yes the slides are mounted through the floor and into the frame below. I used rivnuts to squeeze the floor and frame together and provide mounting points for the slides. There are 4 bolts per side ( 8 bolts per drawer) holding them down to the floor

Finally managed to get the drawers bolted down and tested for clearance while they are installed, and the floor down and fastened in place. Now the drawers are back out and being painted before reinstall, as well as the floor. Next I need to start framing doors and getting the latches lined up...

Was doing some work the other day and thought about how to carry extra fuel on the trailer. Normally I bring race style fuel cans when I take my TJ out for a weekend ( and most of the time I go through it all) and I wanted to get them out of the back of the jeep and I had considered making a...

I hadn't really thought about it but I want to try and keep things as simple as possible. Most of the time there likely won't be anything up to since I don't have a roof top tent. likely just and awning and shower maybe a RTT in the future but I made the top half with enough room to stuff my...

They are just some 1.5" x.100 wall tube and some 1.25" x.100 wall slid in. I may add a brace to go to a pin stil to keep them from sliding out but I need to figure out 100% how I'm mounting them

It is a touch tall. My idea was to put a solar panel up there in the future and have it rest under anything mounted up top during travel. Top of rail to floor is 6'4" and fender edge to fender edge is 6'6". Most of the weight is in the base as the "platform" is 2x2x.125 square tube and the...

Drawer slides tacked, doors " framed", fenders done, roof rails tacked in, and 1 stabilizer made up to see where/how I want to mount them ( not where it is in the picture they will mount under the floor of the trailer and swing down).... small progress on a few of the things on the list lol.

Upgraded the brakes today. They needed to be changed and I will be doing alot of towing this year so I figured it was due for an upgrade.

I had that in mind lol. They are a bit wider than I had originally imagined but they will work great for what they are. I can stand on them to get to the top as well lol.

Finally making this look like a trailer! One fender done, the other is tacked together. Should be able to put the lights in and wire it up soon. I am hoping to be able to start on doors next week but I'm not sure I'll get to them by then due to the amount of free time I have this weekend. I also...

Got my rear drawer slides tacked together before I ran outbof welding gas. Needed to get them set up so I know exactly where the front "cubby" will be. The original plan was to have another drawer slide out one side but I didn't leave myself enough room for the locking mechanism. My options at...

Gotnout into the garage for a bit today and welded up some taillight boxes that I will incorporate into the fenders

I usually carry a rod with me almost everywhere I go. Usually a cheap telescoping rod and a couple lures even.

Everything I do at work has to match my drawings ( make parts, tack together, checked by a supervisor and signed off, then welded solid) so my garage work can be a little chaotic at times. However for some reason the stuff I do in my garage is more complex than most of the stuff I do at work lol.

Thank you. Some things are going as planned and other not quite lol. But it's starting to take shape.

Final fender shape layed out. A brace in the middle and think I can get a skin on them and get my tail lights mounted up. I gotta shift my attention back to the interior and get the drawer slides made up so that I can get the final dimensions of the inside solidified.

A bit more progress tonight. Got the shape of some fenders mocked up.

I forgot how much I hated manually changing tires lol. I only got 2 33s when I grabbed the other set of tires to use the rims because they were super cheap. They are fairly worn but it gives me an idea of how the trailer will sit and I can start to plan out my fenders ( also why i dismounted and...

I have a lot of holes to drill son a lot of pieces to get my drawer slides ready to mock up in place.... still needs a floor but my trailer has some tires on it that I just picked up and I have no room inside for them right now lol.i did get the upper "shape" put together and can get some more...
