Welcome!

Today I finally decided i was going to make a trailer for the jimny, needed to be small, have the same track width (1380mm) and same hubs as they will be running the same tyres as the Jimny. I had been thinking about it for a while and finally got the motivation to go to the local Boat and Trailer shop and have a chat to the workers.
Showed him what the plan was what it needed to match and they surprised me with how well it was mocked up in the shop.
So today i walked out with a 58 Inch round axle, two F100 Hubs (Same stud pattern as Jimnys) and bearings. got home and started assembling the hubs, really easy to do takes 10 minutes. Added the hubs to the axle and put on some spare Jimny rims (without tyres) and did some measurement, was basically spot on! centre of rim to centre of rim was 1375mm with the jimny being 1380mm I couldn't be happier.
Trailer Detentions will be 1050mm x 1250mm like i said itll be a small trailer and used for camping. My aim is to make it as light as possible but still very strong
Itll be a bit of a slow build over the next couple months but ill take plenty of photos and add them to the build thread
