jeep welding trailer write up
 

since i needed a small portable complete and self contained welding rig that
could be safely pulled by a quarter ton jeep i ended up building a new one
using all new equipment. ive done an extensive write up on the build
including 30 pictures (thumbnails on the main page to keep it dial up
friendly) and explanations for my reasons behind most everything i did
throughout the build. most of the write up could be used for building a
camping trailer also. going with the 31" tires gives the trailer awesome
ground clearance as youll see in the pictures. if ground clearance is an
issue i also suggest using a swing-away jack instead of the a coupler jack i
used.

the trailer is legal in north carolina as is, but ill add lights and fenders
before mondak.

Dude, you need a vice on that trailer, and a small welding table.
Perhaps in the receiver hitch.

Nice job.

Nice. Only thing I see that might be a problem is rust
forming under those plastic bins if you mounted them flush.
Might want to stand them up about 1/4" with washers or some
such so any water that gets under can get out.

I've seen several trucks with rust due to those plastic bins
being bolted directly to the bed.

...
Here is a trick I saw on a local welders rig.
He stuck 2" receivers along both sides of the trailer.
That let him put on a carrier for pipe/ladders. If I
see him at the pub I'll try to get some pictures.
Been a while though.

Off the top of my noggin it looked something like this.
http://members.cox.net/wilsond/temp/rack.gif

The arms were made of tube that could swivel and be locked
so they could point inboard or outboard. Couldn't have been
more than 1 1/2" pipe, they wern't too stout and the bottom was
a 2" standard hitch. They had a flange on top and a pin that
held them.

Good idea.

Maybe one for a shade unbrella. The welding trucks here in South Texas
have these big arms that swing out with a holder for the shade.

An old wheel rim (matching mag) for the leads and gas lines?

You'll need a small compressor too. :^)

My small Tractor Supply bought trailer has my Lincoln Welder and
Oxy-Acet and a Craftsman compressor and a B&S sprayer on it. A must have
for ranch work.

see "I welded a 2" receiver hitch to the back of the trailer frame. This
will allow me to pull an additional welding trailer if need be, and it also
allows me the flexibility of using hitch accessories such as the basket
pictured above for hauling additional tools and equipment. I mounted my
vice onto a piece of 2x2x.125 tubing that I'll keep in the large toolbox.
When I need a vice, I'll simply slide it into the receiver. I've done the
same thing with my bench grinder, and even a small portable welding table."
:-)

> Nice job.

thanks! i hated to finish it up because i enjoyed the entire
process....figured it was time to wrap it up so i could actually make some
money with it though.

see "I welded a 2" receiver hitch to the back of the trailer frame. This
will allow me to pull an additional welding trailer if need be, and it also
allows me the flexibility of using hitch accessories such as the basket
pictured above for hauling additional tools and equipment. I mounted my
vice onto a piece of 2x2x.125 tubing that I'll keep in the large toolbox.
When I need a vice, I'll simply slide it into the receiver. I've done the
same thing with my bench grinder, and even a small portable welding table."

> Nice job.

thanks! i hated to finish it up because i enjoyed the entire
process....figured it was time to wrap it up so i could actually make some
money with it though.

bolt it to a piece of 2"x2" tubing and mount a receiver on the trailer. its
pretty handy being able to keep those things out of the weather, and just
slide them in the receiver when its time to use them.
