That hub bearing sounded bad when you turned it. I would have replaced those while I was doing the drop, especially if they’re the originals.

I love it. Very original and thinking outside the box. Also love the idea of a wireless remote. Very Handy. All those angles had to have changed when you hooked it to the truck. When you imagine that hitch at regular receiver height, the entire trailer would be at such an angle that I think even the rear axle would be off the ground. With the tongue hitch at ride height, the actuator jack would only need to extend a fraction of what's being shown here. Right? Do you have any video of it in use - actually hooked to the tow vehicle and loading / unloading a vehicle? I sure do wish I'd seen this before I rebuilt my car hauler. Thanks for sharing.

@Turkeydinner
@Turkeydinner 2 месяца назад
Sketchy AF. Look at the angle of that fwd jack when the tilt is up. You can't even have a tow vehicle hooked onto it while you load... which makes shit even more scary. That + all the weight on the extensions... you better be damn sure the ground is 100% flat or it's going to roll onto its side. Also, the cantilever is way too short and the axles of that trailer are too far back for hauling cars. I like how you just went for it though, man. I still think you did a great job building it I just don't like the design.
@averagedadsgarage
@averagedadsgarage 2 месяца назад
I’ve loaded my car and truck on this trailer over a dozen times with zero issues. Don’t be concerned about the angle of the jack. In the video I was simply showing how the trailer operates. You never load a vehicle on a trailer without it hooked up to a truck. So the jack only sees weight when the trailer is flat. And the ball can easily handle that articulation. Never had a problem. The axle placement is the same as two trailers I have at my work, which were built by professionals. When I load my car, the rear tires are still on the wood, and my drivers door swings over the fender. So my weight ballast is pretty good. So although you seem to have a lot of concerns regarding the design, I can assure you, you’re wrong about all of it.

I drillled 5/8 holes through four pieces of half inch plate and welded them to the trailer frame. Then welded some pipe to the ends of the hitch which slid up between those plates. Shoved some grade 8 bolts through them with some grease and called it a day.

Super cool. thanks for the inspiration. I'm going to try something similar and make a dumping trailer, which will need to tip a lot more for stuff to slide out. Also, did you make the crossmembers out of square or rect tube? why? I think your supposed to used C-channel as the best crossmembers.

I'm sure you have had plenty of use of the trailer by now. So is the actuator strong enough to lift a car on the trailer to back it off, or do you have to back the car up to help it??
@averagedadsgarage
@averagedadsgarage 2 месяца назад
It is strong enough to lift it, as you’re really only lifting half the weight of the car. But I do roll the car back a bit so that it tilts faster.

"Flat Board Sander" we always called an "air file". I've done around 30 cars. Too many layers of bondo ends with too much waste on the floor. Better to go ajust a little heavy on that first coat and then sand to finish than to apply, sand, apply sand, etc. But you're getting it. Also, what drove me out of the profession were the styes I got around my eyes from the bondo dust. Once I had around 40 or so I decided to lay down my paint gun... and here's a great hint I had to learn the hard way... before you paint in that garage, if you can, of course clean it entirely! Once that's done and you're ready to paint, wheel the car back in and then waste about a 5th of a gun of paint spraying the air around the inside of the garage. The paint in the air will attach to the dust in the air which will make it heavier and either fall to the floor or stick to the walls and ceiling... resulting in less dirt in the finished product. Have fun though... that's the important part. Hobby's should be fun! Oh yea... and to find that really illusive "wave" in the metal or bondo... I used to put on a thin coat of black. Then block sand it with like a 220. Tha black will make every flaw show. You're doin great!

Well they're stamped with a part number and trace back to Duralast, China made auto parts for AutoZone. I'm replacing them with Proforged but now I'm worried the bearings are also Duralast.
