Trailer bild starts

[#rawkon]

I will be starting my trailer build soon. I picked up a set of axles taday. One brake axle and one roller Rated at 3500 each. This will be a bumper pull i will post up pics as I progress. nothing special, but most factory bumper pulls are not to my satisfaction.

It'll be 18ft- maybe even down both sides.

I hate piling on, but!
Aside from the already stated," you can't spell for shit" comments, I have to ask. Most "Factory Built 7 K rated Bumpers Pull Trailers" come with brakes on both 3500 lb. axles and you'd rather they come with only one set of brakes?
Your planning on having the possibilities of towing 7 thousand pounds on your trailer and you think one set of axle brakes is good enough? Are you using a Semi for a Tow Rig or a 1/2 ton Chevy?

Now if you had three axles and only wanted two with brakes, I could understand.

DUDE! Not only can't you spell for shit!

Good luck with that! Post up some pictures of your entire rig when you finish, so we can pull over when we see you coming up behind us.

Great call, you'll be saving what $75. Think about it!

Odd that you mention 2 sets of brakes on factory trailer. I have owned 3 that were factory built and only had one brake axles. Hmm. Very odd. As for my spelling, i spell really well, Just type horribly.

This will not be a be a trailer used for heavy stuff. Just local runs, and motorcycles. if I am pulling anything heavy I have a GN.

Edit: I realized I probally shouldnt post after drining heavily. It only magnifies my poor typing skillz.

I have a 2008 PJ 30ft gooseneck with tandem 7000 pound axles and it only has brakes on one axle. And I have hauled a 26,500 # (not GVW actual weight) pipe wrangler that had absolutely no trailer brakes.... I had to transport it 75 miles and while corners were not exactly fun (enter at 40 exit at 60) it is very doable.

I have towed several trialers without brakes. not my idea of a fun time. I dont see where to brake axles are relevant to a traielr that will probally never haul for then 3500 lbs anyway. Not that I am being cheap. i have the axles already set up for this light duty application. I actually bought these axles from a friend. they came out from under his current factory produced car traielr, he wanted to upgrade to stronger axles. So I guess big tex trailers only runs one brake axle too.

what is a friled?



seriously,you should know that this is pirate and the mentality is you need brakes on all axles,and at least a dually to pull your jetski. otherwise youll kill yourself and everyone around you. including the busload of nuns.

Any yes, a frieghtliner to pull a push mower is typical here.

I've seen more that only have one braking axle than two. I've also seen some that have NONE. These were all "factory built" trailers too.

Remember, most of the typical car trailers were designed to haul race cars and the like, not heavy pickups and buggies.

GN for the buggy, as already mentioned.

Depends on the state.

WA requires brakes on ALL axles above like 3500 or 4K (so a 7K would require brakes on all axles). I know some other states don't require squat.


Around here, the "cheaper advertised" trailer places advertise the "brake on one axle" trailer to get you in the door, but by law you have to "upgrade"


I would like to see you build, and keep a running $$ cost as well. I'm too cheap to buy a new lighter hauler, and keep telling myself I could build something custom for less $$, but my logical brain tells me I'm full of shite.

[WTF-J]

While you may not need a Pete with a 600 Cummins to pull your junk down the road, it's plain stupid to build a custom trailer with only a single braking axle if your goal is to be better than store bought.

So axles are the only thing that gets you to the status of "better than store bought?"

Nope, but it's a start.

And good one at that. The other axles has flanges so i can install brakes on both axles if I see a need to do so. Found soem 3 inch channell today, maybe pick up the angle this weekend and get started on it.

You can build a nice custom trailer and still be less than a decent manufactured trailer. i have built several including a gooseneck my parents use for hauling hay. I built it when I was in high school.

You didnt read much in this thread did you?

[mrtoddb]

Mine is factory and only has one 3500# brake axle, but will be remedied soon. Works fine as is, but should be better when I get bigger axles and both have brakes.

OP- I understand what you're saying, amazingly, and I agree with you. Being better safe than sorry is one thing, but overkill to the detriment of your checkbook and sanity can be just as stupid. Why would you need dual brake axles pulling motorcycles? That sounds like a unqualified driver issue to me.
