Starting a new Hunting project

Post by tap1912 » Mon Aug 22, 2011 3:24 pm

Bought this small trailer this weekend (350.00), Going to make a hunting trailer out of it. here is the before picture.

Planning on after new tires and spare, fixing the wiring and fixing the small hole in the front of the outside of trailer I want to build a heavy duty luggage rack for the top and painting the trailer olive drab and covering the sides and rear door with some camo wrap stickers.

I hunt in Georgia and Ohio every year and when you put 4 men and all their equipment in one truck you run out of space quick.

I hope before middle of Oct. (opening weekend of bow season where I go in Ohio) I can show off the after pictures we will see.

The possibilites are endless with the thing. Some ladder racks off of the side to hold you ladder stands would be nice too. Good luck.

"Burger King Pro Staff"

I can see it now, a couple dead deer sitting on top of that thing going down the highway and the look on people's faces and the letters that will pour into BK's public relations department. HAHA

Update on project, Just needs paint ran out of time leaving Friday for Ohio. got rack built and installed new tires, new bearings and seals, new safety chains. the chains it came with were 3/8" chains on a trailer that does not weight 500lbs. removed burger king stickers could not bring my self to take it to woods with them on. new wiring new interior light and power point inside. and even a gun rack. sealed wood on inside. all that is left is paint and camo vinyl stickers. added the alum. tread plate around the bottom and installes some steel cross bracing. oh and add the stabilizing jack on the rear corner. (so when it is unhooked from truck and you crawl in the front of trailer does not fly up)

nice but now you can't set up a bbq and sell burgers/dogs at lunch. maybe I'll camo out a 4wd roach coach and start a new carreer. what did burger king use that thing for anyway?

It's looking good. It would be nice to stuff all of my hunting gear in there and not have to pack and unpack it out of my garage.

It was a Bounce House I guess they took it from store to store and set it up for special events. And no the bounce house did not come with it. it was well kept up with all the lights worked just had to replace one bulb. and splice new pig tail to truck end of wiring. only beacouse I put a 40 amp aux. power line into trailer.
