Definitely! I learned that on a 4x8 open trailer I had years ago. Makes it a lot easier to move lol. But, I wont be moving this by hand so doesnt help with that this time.
I will be trying to set things up to help keep it balanced side to side as well. Mainly off setting the heavier equipment, and bulk items as well!

Your trailer looks like it will work really well. Keep us updated on your progress this spring. Let's see some 50/50 shots of the polishing of that beast.
I'm anxiously waiting for the white stuff to disappear too. Winters are about 5-6 months too long in WI.
Haha yea not to many people want to stop by and sell me anything! Poor mail guy doesnt like coming by either! Funny part is their both babies. Especially the male, hes scared of everything and friends with cats and other dogs!
Ill try to get some 50/50 but unsure how much can be done with it.... but only one way to find out!

Thanks!
Small update:
Haven't done anything to it yet except some measurements. And should be picking up some pegboard for pretty cheap. Guy is selling 30 sheets for $5-$6 so can't really beat that. Plus im cheap too lol
Once i pick all them up along with the generator and air compressor ill start assembling everything which I should be doing in a couple weeks.
On a good note, my friend i got it from wants me to detail and tint 4 windows on his new car so with that are new deal itll bring the price of the trailer to $800. Cant complain about that!

Re: Trailer build
When it comes to the wheels I would just plastidip them in a color that matches the wrap you are having designed. For just a couple bucks and some labor it make your trailer stand out.

Re: Trailer build
Well decided to do more today and got most of the pegboard up. Next will be figuring out where everything will go and then putting up a wall dividing the back area from the front!

Thank you! For sure need some lighting! Just not sure what to do for the wiring for the lights. Any suggestions? Im confused on how to get power in there. It has a 7 way plug, is the "12 volt" wire the one I need to hook into?

Re: Trailer build
picked this hf 8750 watt generator last night! Pretty happy with it! Bad boy fired up on the first pull and wasn't really tying to start it up!
I'm sure a bit overkill in some sorts but here in Mi we've had some instances of power outages for days so it will serve a dual purpose! Plus I can now guarantee it runs my compressor with absolute ease!
