Glad I found your channel,been planning on doing some of this myself.Very informative, keep them coming.
Excellent,been waiting for this vid to drop.
Never clicked so fast in my life.
On the right front of the tongue not primed also what do those small angle iron suppose to do???I figure some used channel welded into a square for support
small angle iron is to reinforce the front c-channel as they were only 14ga thick. Additionally, they provide good material to mount the decking to on the ends
What do you think this weighs before decking frame only?
roughly, ummm probably around 1200 - 1400 lbs. Me and 3 buddies picked it up to move horizontally for some reason...
Nice work.
Hello I have a similar trailer and I need some advice as I want to make it into a livestock trailer
Check the trailer tongue for rated weight because ultimately that will help you determine what size axles you have and what they are capable of.
Ever finish it
yeah, I did finish it, however I forgot to record the rest of the process. You can see part of it being done with my intro/channel trailer video. I should get some pictures on here of it being finished
where is part 3
Well I must apologize for that. Part 3 was welding on the fenders and wiring the axles. Unfortunately, when I went to record my video camera was unplugged and I did not get the fenders recorded and due to weather conditions I couldn't record the work on the wiring because I was in a very compact space and couldn't get good angles to record the wiring procedure.
So I apologize for the loss of the 3rd part
When are you guys starting an onlyfans so I can donate
Thanks for the enthusiasm.
