Since this photo I lowered its height and added aluminum boxes on each side. Seemed like it caught too much wind at 50mph plus. Also shortened hitch and moved trailer axle forward.1 PhotoLast edited by BlackGTO; October 1, 2014, 05:33 AM.First place SSBBNA 2014 and 2015

HFT trailer. I added sides made from a pallet in 2012. This year I modified the black box to open in the front. Then I added the fold-down front gate/work table, tire rack and bike mounts. It worked awesomely what little I got to use it.

This is what I built this spring... I built it with a
slide out so things are easier to get at... all water tight
EDIT
All the specs on my trailer are for a purpose... the total
length is 1" shorter than the height of my big trailer that
I haul the car and trailer in(I stand this little trailer up on
end to take up less room).. the height of the alum box is
just high enough to put 2 rims/tires on top of the tool box..
the length of the tongue is just long enough so if I jack knife
backing up the box cant get into the 1/4 panel... I have a vise
that pins in the spare tire mount.... the rear lighted center bar
flips over and slides back in so the trailer wont tip up when openLast edited by MR P-BODY; October 1, 2014, 07:00 AM.

Well thought I would post my part time trailer project for drag week. After 2014 DW the trailer we had was a little big and heavy and took up lots of room in the car trailer. Found Lowe's sells a 3.5'x5' trailer that will fit in back of the pickup unbolting the tongue and only weighs couple hundred pounds. Cut out all the expanded metal and making an aluminum storage box that should hold all the parts and beer. Just need to make a lid and ready to go. Now just need to finish the car but there still time.1 Photo

Now that I have learned how to post pics... this is what I built
for DW.. I built it this size for a purpose.. I had to have it fit in
my big trailer... I was gonna stand it on end in the trailer but
I think I can get around that... but it has a slide out so I can get
to the junk in it ... I have added a few things to it.. on the back
corner I have a couple of rings that a umbrella mounts in for
some shade(patio table umbrella) and I added a vise that
drops into the spare tire mount in front.. I can carry 2 tires
on the top of the box thats mounted in it.. but not sure if
I will carry a second set of tires... that third light slides out
and flips over to brace the slide out..then just crank up the
landing leg to stabilize the whole thing

On my trailer I upgraded the wheel/tire set up to 12" having seen a few folks have issues with the little tires at sustained speed with a heavier load. I really like your work surface and the shade provisions. We bought a pop up one year and only used it at TNT. During one of the heavy rain years we learned that weather sealing is an issue.Drag Week 2006 & 2012 - Winner Street Race Big Block Naturally Aspirated - R/U 2007 Broke DW '05 and Drag Weekend '15 Coincidence?

in there.. including my clothes .. so I wanted it tight.. and yes I went
with 12" wheels/tires.. I have been loading it with what I want to take
so I can get a idea of loading it and unloading... quickly... I have it
down pretty good now
