Again, all depends on how heavy he wants to use it...it wouldn't work for me I can assure you. I'm like the postal service, if it fits it ships....but there ain't no low flat rate...
Either way, cool project.

None the less, awesome build on the trailer, following this for sure.

Again, don't mean to high jack....just two examples of building from the crap pile. I bought the axle/springs, jack, and the trailer coupler...the rest came from the steel pile.
