Saw some pretty neat trailers on the offroad boards. Wanted to start a thread with Steel Soldiers custom-built trailers for their own unique purposes.

Only for custom or modified trailers, if you have a nicely restored trailer that's great, but not for this thread...

Ooo, this looks like it will be a good thread!
Do modified M105's count (for example: one set up for camping)?
Can't wait to see some cool results...:wink::jumpin::jumpin:

This is an M871 that I just finished. Found a removeable dump truck ramp and I attached it to the back of the trailer and it is removeable also. Added trailer plugs in the back to hook up either the rear trailer lights or the ramp lights(which get converted to 12 volts). I made bolt on brackets that attach to the trailer to mount the D-rings. To keep things neat and orderly, I made a wooden box to hold the chains and a shelf to hold plastic containers with gloves, tie-downs, coveralls, etc. Also made some brackets to hold my scooter so when I go to a show, I can get around. Will be going on my first long trip this weekend.

That is very cool! Do you have any other pictures of the ramp? I'm interested in seeing how it is removable.

I took lots of photos during the fab process but I am having problems with that camera. If I get it straightened out, I will post them. Here a few more shots of the scooter mount. You can see the added trailer plugs for selecting the lights. You can also see the fold down step that I added on the rear deck
