I decided to build my own fenders after looking online and finding nothing I really liked. I got a sheet of 14 Gauge sheet metal and got out the plasma cutter and started cutting it out. I than used the leaf break to fold them up.
No trailer is complete without a tool box and since I had sheet metal left over from the fender why not build a small box. The box is 8" X 8" by 24". The box is weather proof because of it's design.

Part one is framing of the Gate/ Ramp. Outside is 1" X 2" by 11 gauge Rectangle tubing. The three other supports are 1 1/4" by 11 Gauge SQ Tubing. 1" Sch 40 pipe makes the top and bottom.

Part two shows the locking system for gate and gas shocks. The lock system is made up of two springs two split set collars two 1/2" stainless shafts and one stainless cable. The Gas cylinders are 250 lbs each and makes the Gate/Ramp almost weight less in most positions.
Part Three is away to make a trailer longer when you need that extra 4 feet to haul it home. The picture should explain it. The cables are good for 1000 LBS each and are made from 3/16" cable with quick snap hooks on each in. Also light covers are on.

Vernon,
Really nice work on the trailer build, and a lot of nice features that a lot of people should find helpful.
It's great to see this level of craftsmanship on the build, and finishing it out will full powder paint!
