So for those of you who remember this:
Given to us by carl here is the latest, its been shortened in hopes of one day being and offroad trailer connected by a military hitch instead of ball, or being interchangable between the two originally about 5 X 8 now 5 X 6 with 23" deep rails in its first stage, got to sharpen my welding skills a bit, boy were they boogery.

Oh yeah and speaking of projects this weekend ask Lee how that cummings sounds

Looks like you tore it apart and put it back together the same.. 
The sides are taller now ....Right???
What are you going to put on the sides to keep stuff in ?
I called my friend about the axle and he said next machine they decomission .. The axle is mine..
I will keep you informed...
Do you need any lights or anything.. I have an entire trailer wireing kit .. Lights wires and stuff..
That you can have if you want it...
Looks Great.. Keep up the good work..
Going to meet Reggie this morning Patrick .. I will have those Bolts you wanted..
Carl
Oh yeah.. Check the welds on the axle spring perch.. You might want to make another pass on them. Just for safety sake.
I did not do most of the welding on that trailer.. Some guy I was teaching to weld did.....
And If I was teaching him... That means his welds arent as pretty as mine....
Which is a totally sad prospect...
Good job on it.... Oh yeah .. Are you going to paint it Ford Engine Blue?
Carl
Eat , Drink, Mud... What else is there?
93 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE ............

Carl, we can use the lights & harness for sure 
It's a little taller & not as long. PLus all the supports are now box tube instead of strap.... we aren't going to mess with the axle till we get the other one so we can just do it once.
We are planning on adding to bars per side, and eventally some sheetmetal all around. Top will eventaully have a removeable cover so we can store stuff & keep it safe/out of the weather 
Gonna paint it black. Maybe Delta Chapter down the sides or something....

If your looking to keep-up the whole Ford theme with the trailer, I have a set of alloy wheels that came of my Ranger a few years ago that have just been sitting in the garage. 14x7/5 on 4.5

Cool, eak we can probably use those.... Carl said whatever axle he gets should be 5 on 4.5 so.... Not sure if we are gonna get wheels with it though.
Oh, and we aren't trying to do any sort of Ford theme.... it'll say K-5 or Jeep before it says Ford

patrick, got any f the original pics with the roof rack???
We used all box as the sides, and will add more as its perfect to hook ratchet straps and tie downs in, you know so when we goto the mall to wheel and come home with a trash can we can secure it down tight.
Swamp_rat we can definately use the rims....
