Default Some Pictures of My 2 Car Gooseneck

Here are a couple more pics of the trailer, Waiting for the fenders to arrive, and my wiring harness. Then its a little grinding, tires, paint and lights to finish and she'll be ready!!! To this date, it's been 12 days of work to build.

Nice!! Once a person can weld and fabricate, there is nothing that can't be done!

I can't tell, did you manage a way to secure the vehicles to the trailer?

Most likely will use tire tie downs I bet.

You might wanna be careful going over anything, looks like it could get high centered REAL easy.

It doesn't look that low, the problem I think you guys are seeing is from that one camera angle from the passenger side is that there is a slight hill there that makes the front of the trailer look low. if you look at the shot head on to the truck that it should be OK and that there is a slight grading difference between the driveway and grass area...

My question is about the axles, it looks like you made them a solid mount, is that right or is there some sort of suspension there?

Yep, its just over 12" off the ground with the new tires when loaded, which should be plenty. The axles are attached with tandem Eye springs, they have a 4 " drop and are underslung so it appears that there is no suspension.

I am adding a full length torque tube next, because it has a little bit of sway (tows fine, but you can twist it a little if you push from the side).

So I am going to run a 4" x .250 wall tube down the middle, up to the back of the rear axle.

Thanks for the compliments guys...
