Kristian, very neat, is that a solid axle? Do you have any pics of the trailer so I can see the tilt setup.
Thanks

I don't, but I can take some next week when I get home from work. What would you like to see? The frame is all welded together, the only pivot is the tongue. It's a single piece of 3x2x.125" tube that pivots on a 3/4" bolt back near the axle centerline. The from of the frame attaches to the tongue with a trailer hitch pin. It's all balanced so when the pin is pulled the deck will tilt when empty, and when I drive the car on, it drops back down. It's easy to get on and off the hitch even with my locost loaded, there's only around 100 lbs of tongue weight. These are the axles I used, they've gone up a lot since I bought mine. Pretty sure I paid $180/side. I spent about $900 total, using all new parts except wheels and tires (winters from my wife's car), and it took a weekend to build.
