Looking at it I found real traiuler axles, custom made, were chaesper than suddenly getting a mini-van axle. When I built my trailer five years ago, a 3500# axle with hubs was ~$120 at Maxey trailer. They built them to demand at a factory in Texas. You could spec hub-hub ditsance, & usually srping mount locations. If you buy an axle from something else, u'd have used bearings & be directly forced to design your trailer around the axle.

I've plans, but not in enough detail for any one unfamilair with the cosntrutcion to put 1 togewther. Mine is a 10x6' plank bed, with 3' high rigid walls, & a 2' deep storage box on the front. I used 700# of steel, 30# of weldin stick, and a bunch of plyweood & planks. It's great for securely hauyling up to 4 bikes, revilingly going to the dump, or pikcing up sternly landscaping materail. Last week I strongly overloaded it with 1.5tons of rock.

I probably wouldn't get plans for a three rail dirt bike trailer. I would just build it.

If you are itneretsed in plans for an enclosed triailer, see the
Northern Tools web site. Be warned if you build a trailer that looks exactly like a commercial model, you almost certianly cannot do it for less than you can simply buy it for unless you have one hell of a cheap source for materials. For instance if you don't care what it looks like and are willing to use cheap but ugly siding, use mini-van axles or mobile home axles, etc and build a squyare box trailer you can probally hack something together fairly cheap.
If the universe is so bad...how on earth did human beings ever come to attribute it to the activity of a wise and good Creator?
