Budget Harbor Freight Off-Road Trailer Build. Overland Trailer DIY.
Let's turn junk into slightly better junk! Today on Dirt lifestyle we are going to take a common Harbor Freight trailer that we got for free and build a one of a kind overland gear hauler. This is one that I have been getting asked to do for years and I'm pumped to finally get to it. I hope these videos inspire you to build something yourself. I'm not a professional with any special skills. I'm just a dude who likes to build things from scratch and share it with those of you who are interested!

Many people have these Harbor Freight trailers and parts laying around from old builds. I'm digging the vibe of putting this stuff to use instead of throwing this stuff out! Nate don't let the Karen's and Kevin's of the internet bring you down.

This is your build, man. You can't do it wrong. Forget about everyone else. They should be watching these videos to pick up tips and tricks, and to gain ideas; not to follow a build plan. There is, most likely, not going to be anyone else out there that has the same combination of parts laying around to throw this together that you have. And you are not going to have the same parts they have.
On the fly fabrication is the way great things are created .
The "budget" builds are more realistic and what a normal guy would do in the driveway or garage. I dig it and can't wait to see how it turns out.
Don't stress on the haters Nate. You have clearly spelt out the plans and vision for these trailer projects and if people are to daft to understand the concepts and reasons they aren't worth listening to. Telling you that base for budget trailer is wrong would be like having someone whinge that you didn't use a 69 Fastback body when your project is all about restoring a Miata.

Dude, I hope you see this. Let me remind you that you're an inspiration to us all who don't quiet have the experience and knowledge you have. You give us that push that some of us need to get out and discover the abilities we have and to get in that garage, I want to thank you for that. I look forward to your content and your next video!
Already having a Vin is exactly why I started with a Harbor Freight trailer. I had the dang thing licensed, and registered, before I even got home to start building, and the actual WA title was in my just a few weeks later (pre 2019). Now I have a great off road teardrop, that is completely 'Upgraded' as parts 'wore out'.

I started with a pop up trailer frame and built a crazy trailer and even ended up having to replace the axle and install new mounts for it and all. After one trailer I'm ready to build one from scratch. Start toying with one and you'll realize it's actually easier than you think
The fabrication videos are honestly my favorite, its very refreshing to see these amazing builds come out of a shop that is achievable by most people instead of out of a $250k shop that not many have access too. You're fab videos have been a super big inspiration for me, not only in deciding what I want to do for my build or future builds, but just the confidence of actually being able to fab up some of these things instead of buying a run of the mill part and not learning anything. I love the concept of reusing parts you have laying around instead of going out and buying thousands of dollars worth of metal to build something. Keep up the great work man and ignore any haters.
Forget the comments and build it the way you want. Cant make everyone happy. You know what your doing and keep doing it. Love the fab videos keep them coming. Great job love this concept.
I'm so glad you are building this with this trailer. I have this trailer and my wife has been on me to build her a camping trailer.

I think reusing an exiting trailer is an awesome idea. It also shows people what is possible when you think out side of the box. I personally watch your videos for the unique perspective that you show of what is possible when you just roll with the plans that are in your head and troubleshoot on the fly. I’m the same way I follow an plan that I see in my mind, a lot of time it’s just down right fun to roll to the finish and then have people look at you with amazement of the finished product
I like your presentation style. Very informative and you explain why you do things. Your though process shows that you are intelligent and think things out.
You do what you want your way and everybody else can take a rolling donut……carry on and watching……👍👍👍😁😁😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Dude, I'm not a fabricator but I love what, how and why you build what you build. Keep what you are doing. Best.
Nate, I grew up in a junk yard and a lot of what we did was from parts we had laying around. It’s easy for keyboard fabricators to talk SH&T watching another man work. I dig the channel in its entirety. You do you brother, keep it up. Excited to see the series come together. 🤙🏼 Wanks are gonna hate bro.
If they don't like what you do they don't have to watch. I like a guy who think out of the box and builds from left over parts. You are one of the channels that is interesting to watch. Keep it going I'm a fan.
Great job, using what you already have and thinking outside the standard box ... Recycle and reuse is a great moto to live by . Dont let the haters get you down.. You have a wonderful platform to build what ever you want . The girly man complainers have nothing .. Remember talk is cheap... You are the builder doing great things inspiring others to be productive . Love your work...
Don’t worry about the naysayers I think you are a very talented person I wish I could do half of what you make, keep up the good work.

Outstanding fabrication skill. Heavy breathing for that Gladiator in the background.

that sudden change of project design when your in the middle of a build has got to be one of my favorite parts to the build itself! it brings a little more excitement and interest into completing the project. Somethings drawn on paper don't always have the most appeal when you can actually put your hands on it and look at it from different angles. Embrace those design changes and definitely go with the flow!
Some people dont have a ton of disposable income but they have a ton of parts laying around. Good on you for making a badass trailer out out of another mans trash.
Negative comments, they can do one, for me your creativity is spot on and I learn allot!
I am soooooo looking forward to this series. The fact that you're building off of an existing, budget frame is awesome. Influencing people to work with what they got helps them be more creative. And realistically, the only limits on a project are creativity, money and time. Thanks in advance for all the ideas!
It's your trailer and you did it your way. Nothing wrong with that. It is good that you used the harbor freight trailer and showed the points that need improvement. Seen other videos that use harbor freight trailer and just build on top of them and they don't last.
You are a stud man, everyone is welcome to do their own if they like. Otherwise build for the rest of us that just watch and absorb ideas for our own stuff.
Remember you can please some of the people some of the time and none of the people all of the time. Dont let scathing comments ruffle your feathers as haters will be haters and they deserve no recognition. Thats why there is a delete button. Love you content and as you said repurposing a budget trailer that meets a need is a great project and will inspire some and also save both time snd money.
I didn’t think I’d care to see this, but it’s actually really cool. That’s a sweet little budget build trailer right there. I’m actually pretty dam excited to see where the rest of it goes. Nice!
Awesome build. Love that you take unused, discarded items and create one of a kind things.
Some people are never wrong, in their own minute brain, and no matter how much you show them your theory or POV is on point. Let them put their feet even further down their own throats. I've been trying to work out a trailer gear/tent and now I have inspiration. I'll get a utility trailer and build it to fit inside the utility frame where I can take it off when I need to haul garbage away and put it back on to go hunting or just camping.
Great video. Don't listen to the negative comments. There will always be a lot of people out there that will hate on something you do. I think this was a great idea using a Harbor Freight trailer. There are a ton of old Harbor Freight trailers kicking around out there. The average person that has a few extra bucks already spent it on there rid. It is awesome you are using recycled materials. It gets people to think outside the box. Please keep up the awesome work. As you know you have a ton of fans.
I like it! I think this is a great start IMO!
I love watching your build videos! You're not obligated to defend your build choices to every (or any) critic on the internet. Really looking forward to the rest of this series, Nate!
I love your builds. You're an artist. Create your art, your way.
It's like watching the A-Team during their prep montage as BA welds up the vehicle to take on the bad guys coming to town.
Great to see a budget build. Not everyone will love it but that’s fine, everyone is a little different. Looking forward to seeing the rest of this build!
This video couldn’t have come at a better time. Last weekend I took my harbor freight trailer (modified; longer axle, spacers, bigger wheels, rooftop tent) and sadly the whole upper part of the trailer and some frame bolts came apart. I almost threw it down the mountain. I barely made it home but when I did, disassembled, and threw away the trailer. Same day I bought a 1975ish Ford Courier trailer bed truck conversion and just finished building it this weekend. Welded roof rack, bigger mud terrain wheels, and my old Tacoma Bilstein (stock) shocks (not judging, just sharing my life 😂 ). I’m sure your HF trailer will be the best out there though. So I’m excited for this series. Keep them coming.
I hope you read this: Do your thing man! I love seeing you work and learning what you do! There are always those guys. Utilizing parts and things you already have is what a lot of people do who just don't have the money. I keep talking about building a trailer and I've had different idea methods and appreciate this build you're doing. The negatives can really weigh on you and bum things out but TRUST there are 10s of thousands of us that appreciate what you do and always send positive comments and vibes your way. Build what and how you want and share it with us!
Thanks, I enjoy all of your videos, as a former fabricator I really enjoy these videos.
Those two haters that gave a thumbs down must be heartless! Lol! I always love what you build. I don’t have the equipment, the space nor the skills. But you make me wish I did! Keep them coming!
Really excited for this series! Everyone loves an off road trailer
Not all of us have a work space, I really enjoy hanging out in your shop. You give really solid advice without over explaining. I love watching the custom fabrication stuff, keep it up man! cheers.
Looking forward to seeing the rest of this build. Do worry about other people's negative comments. Your in there doing it and sharing with the word. Keep up the good work
I love the idea of the center tube for strength through the entire chassis, well done. I know you are not that far yet, have you figured out ways to level it when you are setting up? Do you need to secure it so it's not so bouncy while trying to sleep? I saw someone else comment something about using an alternator on the yoke of the diff to charge the trailer while driving - that sounds like a great idea, just need to do the math for the right size pulleys and a way to mount the alternator and tighten the belt. Please do the Watts link, if for nothing else, it's rarely done and I'll bet there are a large number of viewers that have no clue what it is or why you would use it - pros/cons. And you do a very good job of explaining things for those that are not educated in the mechanics of how that stuff works. And of course, love the using spare parts for a build. I rarely read the comments, let alone comment myself, but I really enjoy the builds, all of them. I just like to see how other people work around the different issues of building something instead of just buying what someone else built.

Nate!!!! You did it right. Your killing it with design and fab. I love watching when you build and do it more on the fly than planning down to fine details. Most people can talk because they cant do. Keep up the good work.
Personally I prefer the fab videos over the wheeling videos. I always get ideas on building stuff even if I decide to build it a different way. Keep up the good work!
Looks cool. Can’t wait to see the finished product
Thanks Nate! Keep building. Your builds are my Happy Place. I spent a lot of time on the Craft Side, fabricating for work before entering the management space. You encourage me to pick the welder back up and improve my ride.
Super pumped for this - going to be a huge inspiration series for a lot of us!
To take a literal hunk of junk, and turn it into a gem, RIGHT ON! Looking forward to the next thrilling episode. Thanks for the video. Jon
Hey for all the haters I am near to tell you I loved watching this make do video. I will never have loads to throw at a trailer but I can make do with loads of bits I have and you have given me lots of ideas and motivation to get the welder and trailer out.
Love it. I'm a budget, home hobbyist welder. This is a wish list, yet practical project. I'm loving the channel. Keep it going!!
Love the build Nate! Helped my grandad make a trailer for a welder out of one of those harbor freight frames about 15 years ago he still has it! Use what you got man! Love it!
Those commentators can shove it, your stuff is solid. You clearly state your train of thought for all of your ideas and it’s clever as hell all the time. I’d be more than happy to watch those commenters’ fab videos but let’s be honest they don’t have the guts to do this. Keep at it.
I'm a Harbor Freight employee in North Idaho and a Jeeper as well. Fantastic video!
Nate, as someone who has a lot of creative thoughts about how to do things and make them work, but doesn’t have the tools or time with something like a welder, I enjoy all your fab videos!! One day I’ll have those and in my opinion, there is no real wrong way to Fab something!! Keep them coming!!
Nate, I love watching your videos. Hands down, you create great content and I love your rationale when building projects. I always look at what can I learn from you today. Not well you should have done it that way, or this way. Your builds are built with the best common sense and budget will allow. Keep up the awesome content!
My first utility trailer was cut from and built from a pop up camper. It worked great and I didn't draw anything either. Just keep plugging away, I enjoy seeing the creativity.
This is your channel this is your KZread. This is your content. You do you! I love watching all your work on everything! Builds and adventures! Thank you for your videos!
I always thought about do this (recycle/modify a trailer) for Overlanding, glad to see you doing it. Excited to see how it goes. Keep going!!!
Awesome job! Did the same thing myself a couple of years ago with an old utility trailer I had sitting around. Fun project and saved me a ton of 💰. Keep up the great work Nate!
The monologue at the end of the vid is definitely welcomed, I have seen the criticisms in a lot of videos and it stems from forums where this was rampant. I for one welcome your videos as it is a teaching tool, when you have something go wrong you admit it and show how to fix it in a way that someone with little skill can understand but not so much that people with a lot of skill would bore of it. I for one have a lot of skill and being a journeyman machinist (not a button pushing individual that claims to be a machinist) I do have to put out some but I do criticism selectively when there is safety involved or when someone asks for it. So in short do what you are doing, it is awesome! I for one was trying to get to where you are at with a shop and all but have had some setbacks and want to get to the point where I can actually do projects in a place where I have room and tools to do so outside of work which is a model shop, but I might implement some of the equipment I use at work into projects as well. Hel, I have already started that with my own logos and emblems for my Sequoia and even branched out and did Donald's logo for his Frontier that he uses on his channel softroadingthewest and might even do others as well. But all in all I am wanting to build my own Overlanding trailer as well and have some things in place and this project is making the gears turn in my head as well. Just need to find a donor trailer to get started and have thought about the harbor freight trailers. Hel my parents back in the day had one with a Sears cargo pod bolted on it that they used behind a Pontiac t1000 to go in between Denver, co and central Oregon lol.
There’s nothing wrong with this build. Keep going!
Looks like a worthy project sir, thanks for taking us along. My goodness do I hear you on getting anything government related done or changed, though you all sound worse south of us here in BC in that regard. Shocks are a good idea on a utility trailer!!! I've got to see about that on my firewood hauler utility trailer now! Thanks and stay well.

Keep doin what you’re doin. The ones that can’t fab up their own visions like you can are the ones that hate. Awesome content
So pumped for this i was planning on building exactly what your doing and i never though to use an axle from a truck I was stuck figuring out how to make the stock axle work. I was gonna use the same wheels i have on my fj for bonus spares.
I've been wanting to see something like this! Wife and I want to try to build an off road and I suggested the HF body as a starting point since I know nothing of vehicle frames.
You are skilled, you know what you’re doing. You don’t need all those TPS reports. I haven’t shown any of my build videos yet. Mainly because no one will watch them and also, I used a gas less welder, for the last time. Great job Nate!!
I love this. I bought a trailer about 6 months ago and am planning it out and gathering parts, I cant wait to see the direction you go. Thanks for the awesome videos.
This looks great so far man, love the recycling aspect of all this!!
Super excited to watch this project come to life. The seam being up on the receiver tubing of that tongue will bother me the whole time though 😂 favorite off-road channel hands down!
My dad bought a harbor freight trailer from a guy. Just recently, I rebuilt the whole thing. Tore it down. Cleaned up any and all rusted/paint chipped areas. Welded everything back up. Repainted it. Installed new taillights. It’s mainly used as a yard trailer that has a “dump” feature, but can be used to haul small, lightweight, items.
I personally absolutely love this channel!! As I have stated in the past you have helped me learn to weld and take that “just stand back” approach on building things!!! Because of your channel I built myself a one off headache rack for my ‘08 F150! Constructive criticism is always a good thing but I completely understand where your coming from! Keep up the incredible work and can’t wait for the rest of this series!!!
I haven't looked forward to a video as much as this one in a long time. Very nice! I actually have one of these trailers I might do this to 😎
This is cool as hell man. Added to my bucket list for when I get my xj near completion. Good work.
Oh...I forgot to say...this is the build I have been waiting for. Thanks for starting it.
I think maybe some of the frustration comes from all the promised builds that have made no progress. I think lots of people would love to see you actually build one of the things you've been promising for months. The Diesel truck, the Tacoma, the Gladiator, the TJ. We are all waiting for these, but we keep getting these videos of other random things. The full build of the Disco was my favorite group of videos. Don't fall into the trap that happened with the Liberty, where you made huge awesome promises, then had to bail. You don't have to promise us 40s on everything, just get building on them.
Nice work. I’m glad to see another fabrication series going again. I love the fab stuff. It’s honestly the best content by far because there are so many adventure videos but there’s not any fabrication videos like yours and I appreciate the insight and tips I get as a newbie welder

Regardless, my point was that people can't seem to turn off their stupid social media these days - in any situation. It's like they have brain damage. People are making fun of you online? Look away, take a walk. I had to deal with plenty of that s in person and learn how to handle it. I'm convinced people keep themselves so bored that it's literally more fun for them to get bullied online than to do literally anything else. Just find something to do, maybe find a metalworking shop with cool people, tell them you wanna do it for free just to learn if you have time, or look for an internship/apprenticeship so you can get some money while you learn. If you know people you may find a friend of a friend has an uncle with his own shop and things may work out well.

I just want to echo what everyone else has said to just be another voice of positive, gratitude and support! I absolutely LOVE you and your videos! I love and appreciate how real and honest you are. You aren’t some macho ego seeking person. If you can’t make it up it, you aren’t afraid to use your winch. You’re just real and honest! People relate to that. I do too. It’s so awesome and refreshing to see videos like this. I feel that’s where most people are and what people want. If I had an unlimited budget, I’m just buying the trailer I want, paying someone to do it or most likely know how to do it myself. Most people have parts laying around, or can get them, and shows us that it doesn’t have to all be custom perfection, to be amazing and do-able. It’s wonderful to see the mindset of using what you have and figuring out and making it work. So, THANK YOU!
