Another great video. Thanks for putting it together. Have you driven around with the tote completely full? Is it worth doing the leaf spring version, or is this version good enough?
Awesome job mate. One tip is that you can Fill up any Tank from the bottom via the hose connection or IBC/Cam Lock. This makes filling up easier and prevents the hose falling out of the top when unsupervised 👍
Hi! I've followed both videos and am extremely impressed. i have a few questions as I want to copy your trailers. Is there a reason for mounting the pumps at 90 degrees to ibc valve? Do you get the tyres and rims prior to axle ?
Thanks mate, when mounting the engine I consider a few things... Will it be easy to pull start? Will it be easy to change the oil etc? What is the easiest way of plumbing everything in? and also which way is the exhaust facing? Plenty of ways to skin a cat so do whatever works for you mate. Yes, get the wheels before you order the axle as the length will change depending on offset of wheels. You can obviously go a bit wider on the axle and cover most bases but for me personally I want them to be as narrow as possible. The shorter the distance from the spring or chassis to the hub the stronger it is!

Thanks mate, yep plenty of ways to customise these things to how you want them!

Beautiful work mate… do you mind saying how much you sell these for?
There a quite a few variables and always custom builds, anywhere from $3000 to $4500 AUD
