Bike Trailer Project

(1/4) > >>

@RCHER:
With a lot of folks kicking in their physical training, I thought I'd share some pics of a home brew trailer project I finished a couple seasons ago. I'm working on some other new ideas, but nothing worth sharing yet. If you've thought about doing this, you can get into it with little to no cost.

This one I started by searching craigslist.org and found a little free kiddy trailer from a gal up the street. Come to find out, it ended up actually being an equinox trailer - one of best bike trailer makers out there. With a little disassembly, some new tires/tubes, paint, new tongue and hitch, paint and a little aluminum diamond plate, this thing is a load carrying beast.

The way hunts went in 2008, I still haven't hauled any big game out with it, but she’s got a lot of exercise miles and a few salmon gear trips on her.

Let's see some other ideas!

Very nice! I use an old kid trailer myself....but no real modifications to it outside of taking the small seat out of it to make more room. It actually works quite well too. I use it on my N Idaho Whitetail hunts each year.

However, your trailer is pretty sweet. I may have to make myself a small summer project and see what I can come up with.

@RCHER:
Cool, thanks AGC. Any pics? Yeah, the thing I really like about this one, it that it's tuff and all aluminum - so really light. It'll haul more weight than I can handle.

Also, I'd love to find a place flat enough to really use it more for hunting.  :)

tmike:
I need something like that. How much $ do you have into it? With that and a pack on your back you could haul a lot of weight. Nice looking set up.

I don't have any pics at the moment. It's at my house on the other side of the state (I work on Whidbey Island and live in Clarkston). I'll take some pics when I am back home next weekend.

Yea, I hear ya on the "flat land". That's why I have only used it on my Whitetail hunts. The area I hunt Mulies in is WAY TOO steep for my bike and trailer.

It's hard to tell in the pics...what kind of bike do ya use? I have a Specialized 29er Rockhopper myself.
