Re: Single rail trailer for behind the family car.
Thanks fellas!
I made up my tie down bar for the front, and kept with my theme of capping the ends of the tubing. That was the last "big" thing as far as fabrication goes, less the fold up ramp on the back.
I decided to go ahead and weigh the individual parts to see where I'm at so far.
Main frame 116lbs.
Axle frame with fender mounts and fenders 42lbs.
torsion stubs (pair) 28lbs.
Hitch Coupler 4lbs.
Wheel/Tire 18lbs each (x3 to include spare)
Grand total as it sits is 244lbs.
The only weight it should gain from now to completion is paint, wiring, lights, light brackets, license plate bracket and the aluminum ramp out back, plus whatever the weight in weld wire to finish it out.
Im thinking educated guess is that itll be right around 260 complete and empty. That plus a 300 lb tw300 will take up 560 lbs of the 1000 lb towing capacity, so just over half. With the dr650, itll be at 620 ish lbs, which still isn't to bad.
