That trailer looks pretty slick. Thanks, actually one of the most simple projects I've done and also one of my favorite. |

could you make me a trailer like that! Haha, it's not that hard. Just get two ertl trailers and make some axles to fit under. I really just do this for fun, I don't think I could charge someone for something like this. |

I love the trucks and trailer. What axles and wheels did you use and how did you mount the wheels to the axles. Thank you

yeah i defiantly want one now how much? Well I think it would cost too much to make for someone because I would have to buy two ertl utility trailers and the wheels are from ERTL Rams so there would be two trucks that would have to be purchased just for that. It was cool for me to make because I had all the stuff sitting around. |

Step 1: obtain 2 ertl or maisto flatbed utility trailers, similr to the ones used here
Step 2:if you have customized any ertl rams, you should still have the axles laying around somewhere, so find 3 of those.
Step 3: get some epoxy adhesive such as e6000,jb weld, and ducco cement, or whateer eoxoy you want to se (I use e600 because it does not have to be mixed)
Step 4; Remve the wheels from both trirs and set them aside, a they can be used s replaceens fr other traiers and ct the axles off both traiers
Step 5: removethe ramp from 1 tailer. this l be the front of the tailer
Step 6: cut the front off the second trailer ( cut the tapered end off the trailer, not just the hitch)
Step 7: glue the two trailers together using the epoxy fro step 3 wait for epoxy o dry
Step 8: make soe spacers from balsa wood or syrene to put the axles 0n later
Step 9: once adhesive is dry from step 7 , glue spacers from step 8 to the rear of the trailer, on the underside, allow time to dry
Step 10: after the gue o the spacers is dry, make some subes to put the axle in so they can roll, this can be done very eaily by taking an ink pen that don't worlk and cleanin out the ink cartridge use the axle to measure the tube and with th axe in the tube cut away a portion of the tube to allow the oher wheel to be put on. do this for all 3 axles
Step 11: glue once the tubes are made nd th axles in the glue the remain weels on the axles alow to dry
Step 12: glue te axle assemblys to the spacers from step 8 allow to dry.
(Yeah, I know this is old and yall dont like it when older post are bumped because its like shooting a dead deer or "annoying" , orsomething along those lines)
