Default Car Hauler and Uhaul mini-trailer

I had this little trailer laying around so I decide to make something else out of it instead - it's going to be a Uhaul mini-trailer:



What i'm going to try and make is something similar to this:




Here's my other trailer that I did awhile ago but I just recently added a few upgrades to it:





As you can see my simple but effect tow hitch (i'll be making a tutorial for this soon), plus the custom drop stand and tire rack.




The other thing I'll be adding to this is the brake lights which will be adopted to the connection on the back bumper

More updates to come soon.

Thanks dude! I should finish the car hauler before I get anything started on the Uhaul one so as soon as I get the lights wired up i'll post some updates.

Sweet idea! Those mini-trailers always make me laugh. I really like that car-hauler. Once I finish my truck, Im gonna need to build a trailer...

And I agree with Wade, grape NOS is gross. Monster Assault FTW!

I disagree with both of you.
Grape Amp Traction FTW!

Anyway, looks like a great project.
Is the UHaul going to be complete with opening doors, and scale tools, boxes and such inside?

Thanks for all the comments guys! About the grape NOS thing - it was the first time and it's not that bad - I do preffer SOBE over energy drinks anyways .

BACK TO TOPIC NOW......


Here's a quick update on the Uhaul trailer since I forgot to bring the other one to work on today:







I did all the fenders and side rails plus the inside platform so now i'll be sanding the edges and scraping away all the excess glue then i'll be painting it silver or grey later today.

More to coome soon.
