    Default new cargo program for myself

    I think I have found a less costly way to get a nice little cargo pulling system rigged up to use myself.

    New program.

    Buying this with 20% off coupon for $160.00

    http://www.harborfreight.com/1090-lb...res-90153.html

    Mounting this on the back half of the trailer. $80 with 20% off coupon.

    Aluminum Hitch Cargo Carrier - 500 Lb. Capacity

    Mounting this on the front half of the trailer. $180 regular price at Tractor supply.

    http://www.tractorsupply.com/vehicle...silver-1091436

    Total cost 160+80+180= $420 with 12" tires, not the little dinky 8" ones.

    I am also considering cutting the trailer size down to 36" wide x 42" long since the alum. toolbox is 36" wide. Sould be very easy to do as I have a welder and a metal bandsaw and the trailer comes in a box.

    I have seen several trikes with this sort of carrier. I have a smaller similar homemade one that I use to puy my cooler. I always wondered how much weight you could put on this before it started lifting the front end. It could really effect front-end steering.

    The trailer alone weighs #90
    The toolbox weighs #30
    THe cargo rack without the steel tube and cutdown will weigh #10
    A spare tire will weigh #20

    Total trailer will weigh #150
    100 pounds of cloths, cooler/ice/drinks

    250 pounds total to pull down the road with a cargo adjusted tounge weight of about 25/30 pounds.

    Got a lot of the trailer finished today.

    Had to cut the frame down length and width.
    Had to cut the axle down
    Had to grind off about 1/4 of the rivits in the cargo rack and cut it down and put it back together.

    Now I just have to choose if I want the cargo rack in the front or back.
    I really want it in the front but since it is smaller than the box and I want to position the middle cross member where the 2 meet putting the rack in the front shortens the tounge by 4".

    I will hook it up to the trike tomorrow and see if I need the extra 4" to make turning easier.

    It is going to weigh in at #130 with a spare tire and I have $450 in it.

    Nice set up. And, if you're a beer drinker, looks like you can haul the keg home in it!

    Just finished the new smaller ptoto-type.
    THis one is not as wide, just a tad longer, lighter, and the dry storage and rack are both slightly smaller. Cost is the same. $425 with the cooler. MY guess on the weight is #150.

    This one should pull very well behind anything since it is not as wide.

    If you rent a UHaul they have 45 mph plastered on the fenders. I think it is a guide line?

    This is cool. I had been brainstorming about the same thing. The starplate tool boxes look real nice, but the plastic ones would reduce the weight.

    GOOD JOB
