No I am still working on the winch setup I have the winch, winch plate, receiver tube, battery box, inverted for the truck bed. I am currently waiting to pick up a second battery, winch quick connector, accessory port, inverter and isolator to go between the batteries.
So, almost complete. BTW, I like that you moved the taillights higher, I do think it gives more visibilty to the driving impaired. You know, the morons we have to share the road with.
Just got all the hinges, leafs and shocks with grease and what a difference that makes!!!! Yes the hinges had the paint removed first.
Started putting D rings in the bottom of the trailer today and got one side done then went to work on Drywall at my bosses house and forget to get pictures.
Pete I am looking forward to this project completed! Off topic I welded up my 1st little project, a plant stand made from 3/8" rebar.. Welding 3/8" rebar isn't easy but it does weld well and this only cost about $8.00 to build.. I will be adding a 12"x12" floor tile to the top.. Think rebar would make great looking deck furniture..
I like that! Tile top would be cool! Who knows what’s in rebar it can be a pain to weld but it’s cheap... Lord knows Ive used a lot of it...
Thanks! Had no problem welding it just hard to weld 3/8" round stock! Lowes ran out of 1/2" rebar.. Think it would be easier.. Thought wood would also look good with the rebar.. Tons of ideas on Pinterest!
Tried out the lift points for the first time today. They work GREAT! That’s why I put those square plates on each side of the fenders. I forgot to post that
So I haven’t read thru the 34 ( ) pages on this trailer build, but I gotta ask... how much did your boss distract you for at least 17 of these pages?!!!
looks like pressure treated southern yellow pine landscape timber between the jack and the trailer and a piece of pine lathe between the jack and the floor. There, I did it.
Thanks! 17 pages She did what she could on the trailer and because I get so distracted and into projects.. She reminds me to eat, sleep, the three s’s and other things. Without her I’d probably forget to do any of that Except coffee I never forget coffee My memory is terrible...... No joke.
I couldn’t justify white oak it’s just to expensive per board foot. Insane is the word... these boards are not what I wanted but they will do..
Ah that’s direct burial pine from when I put the pallet fence up. How long ago that was I forget now. Post tops that I cut off with a chainsaw.
The new rims showed up today! On my way there on the side of 96 I blew a valve stem out of the rim on my e250 service van ( on the drivers side ) talk about scary! Good thing I was going to the tire shop on the way home anyways! Problem is now the trailer looks like it’s not home made! They look good either way
Look at you, getting all fancy with the bling. Got that winch set up yet? Trailer looks great Pete. I've never seen or had a valve stem blow, that sucks.
I didn’t have a choice on the bling the old rims where complelty worn out. There where only three lugs holding one side the others pulled through.
