    I have thought about just lining it with plywood. With all that has been going this year, the project has kinda fallen off the radar.:emb:

    I have a buddy that wants to buy it if i want to sell it. He wants metal on it...

    Thank you. It does work well, but i still think i want to build one thats a bit smaller. Its a bit hard to take "off trail"

    I was just trying to keep you out of the conventional lumber yard and the insane price of "normal" Lumber. White oak is good for trailer use and might be reasonably priced at a local mill.

    That would get pretty heavy when filled to haul in the woods with an ATV, in addition to the size that makes it not so great for maneuverability.

    How big would you make the second go around?

    Considering your trailer, is this your next firewood truck?

    o_O That truck is like, like, an overkill truck. Don’t we have a guy on here that has that as his motto or something? He needs to open that wallet, let the moths fly out, and then buy one of those things. Really Mrs. Overkill. He needs it for his business!:whistle:


    Hey. How is your trailer anyway TurboDiesel ? Have any updated pics working with it?
