Hi ppl, have been given a one ton Toyota Hilux flatbed, with sides wheel arches, and axle, 6 stud rims, all in A1 condition. What I intend to do is make it into a standard trailer for home use. Will be my first big project, am looking fwd to it. Need your expert advice if possible?. Being 1 ton, will need brakes? can't find any info anywhere on how to install brakes, cables etc onto a single axle from the start to finish, believe electric is the way to go, again, no idea how to affix brakes, will need new drums of course, just the fitting and wiring etc from brakes to my 4x4. Will have to make the drawbar, out of 75x50 RHS, what kind of hitch is the best? max amount of weight would be a ton, will need to put in springs also, what would you recommend? 6 or 7 leaf eye to eye?. Is there anything I am missing? hopefully someone has converted a traytop into a trailer and has plenty of how to's , if not is there a site that can help with this kind of subject?.
Any support will be appreciated.
