Looks good. Love how you re-purposed things.
What keeps the tailgate from folding in half when you use it as a ramp? I'm assuming it folds out rather than comes out accordion style.
You may want to enclose the rod tip area with a piece of plywood.
Stuff moves all around the trailer and getting to your destination finding a broken rod sucks.

i was looking at those trailers
how do those small wheels do?
can you put full size tires and rims>
is it bouncy with very little weight?
your trailler looks awesome.

good idea tote will be addressing that today. And was thinking of half barrel slide bolts for the tailgate and the wheels can be up graded by changing the hubs.  that's phase 2 he he.  after I load it up take it for a spin will let you know
and again Thanks much on the positive. input
