Not my rig but my project "Siamese Dream"

You're going to need a CDL soon.

Post by **Viperwolf1** » Thu Sep 08, 2016 8:44 pm

You should mount the front half of a Bronco on it, maybe add a mother-in-law seat too.

CDL, check. MIL seat, um no!

It does look disproportionate but throw an ATV on it and I think it'll be perfect.

Hauled my 1st item that otherwise wouldn't have fit, it did great.

Kinder, that trailer is looking Great! Good work!

Quick & dirty rear bumper w/ receiver built out of spare pieces from a old front PTO bumper. This'll allow a third stabilization jack when RTT is in use.

Loaded up the quad for a test run, it didn't fall off and doesn't stick out past my mirrors!

Swapped out the trailer axle w/ electric brakes for the old BSD 9ΓÇ¥. IΓÇÖm adding a electric over hydraulic actuator to operate the trailer brakes and keeping the e-brake cables and attaching them to a commercial hand operated affair for parking it. Mocked up the old front driveshaft out of the ΓÇÿ79 that I parted out as well, right now IΓÇÖm thinking carrier bearing to the next section of driveshaft. The hubs will spin free until I sort out the PTO off of the 203 or 205 in BSD. IΓÇÖll need to re-engineer the simple hitch to a 2 or 3 point affair so the driveshaft connection works. WWII troop carrier VolvoΓÇÖs had powered trailers so IΓÇÖll use that for inspiration. 6x6 here I come, yeah IΓÇÖm at that level of crazy

.

Almost forgot to mention that IΓÇÖll need to sort out the right gear ratio to keep the 35s and not bind up the driveline. If not feasible the trailer with get 37s, geez I am crazy

.

Well I, for one, admire your craziness!! What a fun project! I'll be interesting to see how a powered trailer handles!

Post by **Kinder** » Sat Nov 27, 2021 10:24 am

Yes, itΓÇÖs ridiculous, just here to provide entertainment!

37s all the way around now.

Post by **Jesus_man** » Mon Nov 29, 2021 8:31 am

Sweet!! A little paint and it would transition from ridiculous to amazing!

Is the fuel tank in tack?? That would be a great spot to store extra!

That's sweet! So do you carry a spare 37" on the trailer and the rig?

Post by **Kinder** » Thu Dec 02, 2021 7:10 pm

Ha, a ΓÇ£littleΓÇ¥ paint is needed for sure, some day in the distant future there might be a rattle can in my hand on a warm day.

A 23 gal fuel tank occupies the original space, itΓÇÖs plumbed with a remote fuel pump, 1 way valve and quick connect. I can throw a switch in the cab and it pushes it to my main tank on BSD. With the main, aux and trailer tank full I can push 1000 miles before I refuel if I keep my foot out of it.

I donΓÇÖt have a 37ΓÇ¥ spare for it yet, it will get one when I find something cheap. I thought of changing the bolt pattern from 5 to 8 lug so one spare could ge between BSD and the trailer or use adapters. The biggest problem is the offset, the rims on BSD are offset to tuck tires in with full width axles and the trailer offset is set so the tires will tuck into the wheel tub on a stock width axle.
