Any of y'all ever built a pickup bed trailer?

Although I sold my Toyota bed for $350 I feel like you could just grab a used utility trailer for that

Maybe so but there's no Redneck fun in just buying a legit trailer.

That's pretty funny. I saw one like it at the Perry end of the Peaches to Beaches yard sale year before last. It started life as a late 80s Caravan.

Different axles are different. Some are full float, some semi and some c-clip, etc.

Just leave the dope in the chunk and it won’t hurt it to be spinning all the time. That’s what pinions do.

That just makes it way harder to pull and makes the tow vehicle burn more fuel.

I'd ask @ItBeMe for some guidance. He's a bodywork/redneck engineering wunderkind.

If your tow rig is hurtin because of turnin’ a pinion, you need more truck. When you’re trying to make a trailer out of a pickup you work with what you got.
