Re: Off road trailer build with patrol wheels...stub axles??

Thanks for that link, I'm thinking that if I can get something mostly done, and then sort out the axles, or whatever, then I'll have something I can use rather than planning the 'best of the best' but never getting it finished. This thing here on TM with a trailer frame attached would be half way th...

Re: Off road trailer build with patrol wheels...stub axles??

Thanks for that, that is exactly what I need, didn't think about the imperial sizing. Any opinions on using NATO hitch instead of the 1-7/8 ball for dragging it up a riverbed?, tandam or single axle? I like this one, or maybe a bit smaller, so you can get a bit of gear and have enough room for 2 sma...

Off road trailer build with patrol wheels...stub axles??

Thinking about building an off road trailer or camper, want the same wheels as on the '92 patrol, 15" 6x139.7 stud pattern. Can you get stub axle assemblies in that size? can't find much on the web, or is it better to use an old back axle, and that will have spring and shock mount points alread...

Thanks for taking time to comment on this, I'm kinda resigned to doing it properly and get cert and then it never going to be an issue again. Presume its an auto sparky job to remove bags etc, then down for cert and no doubt they will find something else they don't like, fcuking Jobsworths!

Old bars have been on the disco for years, before I have it, always got a wof, no one even commented on the bars. Last wof, I get those front bars aren't compliant with the air bag sensor, so no wof. Not that keen on taking them off, as they are all tied up with the winch and the bash plate, so what...

Some good points there, thanks for that.

Another use is to winch stuff onto a trailer, ...
