Off road trailer project....

Working on my cart to turn it into a offroad trailer

Last monday, the sun was shining so I sanded the body and put on coat of baselayer paint and fitted a jerrycan holder with jerrycan.

The wheels ( 13 inch ) and small tyres will be changed in other, more offroad ones

Here I am checking if the new wheels will fit and they dont....so the axle and suspension have to be adapted..

Here a pic of the new tyres, just for the effect.

Next week I will bring the cart to a mate of mine, who will widen the axle and he also makes two.mudguarts.out of checkered aluminium.
More jerrycans will be mounted, an axe and shoffle and more goodies...

After all the fitting and check mounting off al the parts, I will paint the body the same colour as mij landrover defender.

no, tent has to be mounted, first we have to install heavier spings ( to assist lifting the lid with the 50 kg tent mounted ) and then the tent will be on top of the trailer.
Will take pics, offcourse when the tent is mounted on.
