Repurposing a foldable trailer

I feel like there is a way to get an inspection, and then a vin #, and then title.
I was looking into that for sailboats manuf before a certain year, before vin's were by rule, stamped on the boat.

I cant imagine the process would be too difficult, after all they are innso desperate need for your registration fines and annual property taxes.....

Move to Oklahoma; you don't need a title here. No don't, it was 110° heat index today!!!

 

Just tell them it’s a homemade if you really need a title.

 

Nice job Jason. Looks great. That plastic will help unloading it. Hopefully prevent wood crumbs from accumulating it the board gaps. Great repurpose and even better price!

 

Total investment, $10 box of 2" deck screws!

A thought I've been having, just put my other trailers plate on it when I want to take it on road... but w/ the other trailer, I'll probably never need to.

 

That looks great. Nice work. That liner is gonna be awesome for unloading rounds. A long pickaroon and everything will slide right out.

 

What he said^^^^^^

 

Thanks. Definitely worth looking into IMO. I'll research it.

 

Looks nice, good job

 

That's how it is in Ohio...just say its homemade and then you have to get it weighed, take that to BMV to get plates/registration.

That's what I do. I know people with 5 trailers, and one tag between all of them. Wouldn't work as well if you have some sort of specialty trailer, but for basic firewood/general use trailers, perfect.

I've been pulled over before and had no tag on my trailer...wasn't even brought up.

 

Well...rest of the story...my guy may have been a lil distracted by the ziploc baggie with rusty nuts/bolts/trim hardware in it that he saw in my ashtray when I was digging my registration/ins card out...thought it was a bag of dope I guess...he was about ready to cuff n stuff me!

 

Very nice! I had a HF 4x8 that served me well for years. I installed a plywood deck and plywood sides to the stakes; I think I went 2’ on the sides. For the back, instead of bolting the vertical stakes to the pockets, I used pins, washers and cotter pins. Made removal very easy.

 

Time to try this sucker out. Slight break in the extreme heat so I broke out the splitter.



On my second load and I think I’m going to end up cutting off the top board of the sides. I’ll sleep on it for now. I can’t reach across to pick up splits for one and second, if I load this thing up, the little tires will rut the yard, which is already happening with this amount of wood.

 

probably not a good idea as you may wake with a back ache.

Glad it works as planned Jason. Loving that pile of BL though. Caught my eye.

 

Corner brackets will snug up your corners nicely! Great looking wood hauler. Nice work

 

So the plan is to pull the side off when I back up next to my basement doors to throw splits in. If I did do brackets, they’d have to be quick release.

I did pull the side to unload the last load. Worked out ok but I still think a board lower height will be best.

Logs are chestnut oak. Sorry to disappoint. I worked up all the BL I had and it’s stacked.

 

One more thing to have to bother with, especially if you’re just using it around your house and not the road. I went 5 boards high on my sides and sometimes wish I’d have gone 4. I guess not enough to take them off, but it sure is nice not having to stretch down into or across the trailer to reach splits!

 

That's really nice, looks like it'll take a beating and keep on ticking.
