    Nice! I think 5x8 is the perfect size. What height were you planning on? The way the center tube ends in the rear, you planning for a rear receiver on the trailer?

      not planning a reciever tube in the rear at all, it could come in the future though. The trailer will be 4ft total tall. Well in practice it will be 47in tall

    How far does that center tube come past the 8 foot trailer base? It looks like its around 3-4 feet? so 11-12 foot tube? Thanks

      Also do you think I could use 1x1 with both sides at 45 as gussets instead of the plates? I dont have a plasma cutter 😓

      With a sharp enough turn (90 degrees) do you have to worry about the back of your vehicle hitting the angled tubes attached to the receiver hitch?

      Hey the total center tube was 12ft long, it is an 8ft trailer and a 4ft tongue which I found to be the best for the size. You can certainly use 1x1 to make the gussets not necessary to use the plate like that. Honestly those plates are probably overkill especially if you follow along with the rest of teh build by the time you get all the uprights in and everything else this trailer is very very rigid. I am not worried about jackknifing while towing, with a four foot tongue there is plenty of space to turn about. Of course with any bumper pull trailer there is always a risk of that but it is far more common during reversing than it is during normal driving.

      @@Legacy4x4andOffRoadYT Really appreciate the response. I'm doing almost an identical build and am looking forward to watching yours progress!
