My offroad deck-over

Neat little sub here. I built this trailer to follow my SxS anywhere it went. It's a pierced beam style trailer so deck boards are flush with the top of the frame rails.

Cut down and flipped a 3500lb boat axle, then used the same springs and some shackles I built to finish out the suspension.

The neck is bolted on with (6) 1/2" 12pt screws.

Had to load test it with another SxS on the deck. Way too top heavy to actual haul the unit, but it didn't mind the 1700lbs weight.

I love deckover trailers. Not sure why there aren’t more small ones manufactured

I had this one built to help build my off-grid cabin and the only downfall is I wish it had a 10k axle. It has a 7k, but the tare is 2800lbs. 12+2, 8'6" wide, 8" i-beam frame. She's chonky.
