Fouros Trailer Build Up
 

Watch this space

i secured a 7x4 Busted arse box trailer recently , the chassis was good but the body leaves a LOT to be desired so i am gonna build me a trailer ( its good having a mate who is a boiler maker by trade ( save me from crappy welds)

i ordered a complete highside body kit 7 x 4 x 510mm sides including floor and hinges for 370 (coming next week)

i have found some Hilux rear springs with shackles ( thank you dumpster behind arb )

i have found some falcon 16" steelies which will have to do untill i can find some KJ rims

i will be adding jerry holders and a gas bottle holder , i just gotta work out where to put my spare at the moment


lots o picks to follow

I'm working on one as well got XJ springs and shocks for mine and my stock rims and some TJ flares for guards. but had to make a new drawbar but think i went a bit big in the steel but you get that

You might get too much height from the Hilux rear springs and too stiff as well unless you are planning to always carry a heavy load? Can loose some height fitting the springs spring under as well and maybe soften it up some by loosing a leaf or two. The Hilux front leaves would have been better otherwise if it was from a model that old.

was thinking of taking a leaf out , so thanks for confirming that go-jeep will give spring under a go to start with as well,

the leafs were out of a 10mth old hilux that had done 40,000 k's so they should be in reasonable condition
