Maiden voyage for my new trailer - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

I've been wanting a trailer for some time now so I built this out of some of the junk I had laying around. It's loaded and ready for a trip thru Deer Valley tomorrow morning. Can anyone pic out the Land Cruiser parts ?

Hubs, Locks and spindles.

Reddog · 07-06-2004, 07:46 PM

Yes ! everyone needs locking hubs on their trailers

Those old brake drum spindles make for a good trailer axle.

The trailer is not quite finished, I still gotta get a couple offset rims and 35 inch tires to match my Cruiser. That way they'll all be interchangeable.

Looks great, I just hope you have spare tail lights for the trip home

Ah yes, I thought about that. The tail lights are " quick detachable "

. I will get a price for you.
