The master decided to make it himself trailer for your SUV. How he did it and what came out of it, we will consider in this article.

Tools and materials:
-Profile;
-Sheet metal;
-Roulette;
-Marker;
-Hammer;
-Welding machine;
- Jacks;
-USHM;
-Vise;
-Axle with springs and brackets;
-Wheels;
- Clamps;
-Fasteners;
-Flashlights;
Trailer device;
-Wire;
-Royal loop;
-Strip with rings;
-Wings;
-The cloth;

Step One: Plan
First, the master considered the option of buying a trailer. But all the trailers that he watched or did not suit him for the price or parameters. Then the master decided to make the trailer on his own. The main tasks that he set himself were the following: total length of 3.65 m; body size 120 * 180; height not higher than the car; wheels are the same as on cars; the ability to install on top of the tent.

Step Two: Frame
Welds the trailer frame from the profile pipe. The central tube will also play the role of a drawbar.

For reinforcement, the kerchiefs are welded to the drawbar and reinforces the junction with a metal plate.

Step Three: Axis
Welds brackets to the frame. The springs assembly with the axle is screwed to the brackets.

Strengthens the bottom of the trailer with metal.

Step Four: Racks
Welds around the perimeter of the rack trailer.

Step Five: Drawer
Welds a box for cans.

Step Six: Sheathing and Wings
Sheathes the trailer body with metal. Welds the wings.

Seventh step: small details
Then the master completes all sorts of small details: welds the bracket for the spare wheel, bolts the mudguards, makes the installation of electrical wiring, bolts the lights. At the rear of the trailer mounts legs to prevent the trailer from tipping over in the uncoupled state. On the inside, along the sides of the body welds a profile pipe.

Step Eight: The Back Door
Makes the back door. The door is attached to the body with the help of a piano loop and is fixed with the help of locks-latches.

Step nine: painting and setting up the tent
The master painted in a specialized workshop with powder paint.After painting, I fixed two metal strips with rings on the floor of the body. With the help of the rings in the back, the load will be secured. At the top of the trailer secured a tent. The tent is special and has a hard floor.

The trailer for the SUV is ready.

To this day, locomotives are still in reserve, on the go.

I will say more, in Siberia, in underground shelters, they store armored trains of the Moscow Region, and the lucky ones serve there!

Riveted frames? Seriously? And only so?
Of course, I saw the remains of motorcycle frames that were made with rivets. To this day, locomotives are still in reserve, on the go.
But ... time is running out. And no matter how strange it may seem, now the frames of the vehicle, experiencing both extreme short-term overloads and long-term constant loads are made by welding.
Frames of rally cars, sports motorcycles, hoisting mechanisms. The quality of the materials and the welding itself is a separate issue. Solvable.
An example of multidirectional overloads of a welded frame of an ATV

Well, or imagine such movements in vehicles with a riveted frame:

They register there without problems. One of the articles described something like this: "I came to the sheriff’s office, wrote a statement, got the numbers"

welded frame, no problem

Just at Comrade Nruther is allergic to welding, or stuck in the last century. Also did not see the riveted trailers (at the very weld, however, like the Patriot))

ps more interested in how he drives without registration. Or there it’s 5 minutes of business .. We don’t have a ride like that.

The owner of the UAZ, he is almost 50 years old, the frame is welded, no problems. I dragged 3 tons of grain ... I drive firewood and so on.
There was also a trailer, a welded frame.

That’s all nonsense !!! Outdated information ... Since then, when cooked only by arc welding ...
Please find me a frame SUV with a riveted frame !!!
P.S. I speak not unfounded. He worked as chief mechanic in a company that produced trailers for cars and SUVs. The carrying capacity of some (for examination) was checked by five tons !! (And this is on the "vibro-shake" during the day!). We cooked everything exclusively semi-automatic. Never cracked !!!

Frames for transport should be riveted

And what, on thermal nozzles (hot glue) is better of course!
Normally everything is boiled there.

Welded frame again

After several trips, all this welding will burst and the trailer will crumble.
