This was a long project that was filmed over a couple months. I couldn't include all footage because I lost a few clips. I purchased this trailer for $500 in hopes to restore it. I was able to remove the rust and prime/paint the trailer, I added 3/4in expanded mesh, added wheel fenders, added lighting brackets and wiring for the light system, new couple, new trailer jack, new safety cables. Removed the old decking and replaced it with new stained wood. What a project! If you want to purchase anything I used in this project, I included some Amazon affiliate links below:

Please take special care in working on your own trailer. Certain skills and safety steps need to be taken. I am not responsible for any of your decisions or mistakes. Thanks for watching and have a great day!

Great video. Where is the best place to purchase expanded metal mesh? Is it something we can purchase at home depot I can only find small pieces I need atleast...... 4'×8' pieces. And what was the cost of the expanded metal for this project. Great restoration work! awesome video.

@Jasonoid Год назад

@@JoejunksitjunkremovalI got mine at my local 'metal mart' store. Google "metal supply near me" you should get some responses.

The trailer turned out awesome. The memory that your daughter will carry, is priceless. As the years go by, and you use that trailer, your daughter will always remember helping her Dad fix that thing up. Good stuff

@utilitarian 2 месяца назад

What a great build. I love the mesh - not only will the trailer be lighter but easier to manoeuvre 😀

@SamuraiSamoht14 8 месяцев назад

Nice job! I purchased my 5 x 10 trailer used and the previous owner had put a tent trailer stabilizer leg at the back so that when the trailer is not connected to a vehicle you can safely walk on with equipment without it tipping backwards. Works awesome!

@diggindiggenit6540 3 года назад

An easy trick I like doing to protect the wires is to use an old garden hose, first fun a wire through the length you want through the hose then tape off your new wires to one end, pull them through and mount then your wires are protected, nice job on your trailer

@dhache1195 3 года назад

And don't forget grommets where wires pass through metal ;-)

@Jasonoid 3 года назад

Great idea

@crashland5711 5 месяцев назад

Or half inch pvc conduit, if you don't have an old water hose.

@donhall9066 3 года назад

Super job on the trailer looks great. When you refer to the wood you used you said you use 2x8 I believe those are 2x10 check it out.

@Jasonoid 3 года назад

Nominal width on the boards is a little over 9 inches so they are indeed 2x10s.

Great awesome 👏 job looks like new . I have never welded before I bought Lincoln HD125, 4 years ago have never used it I think I need to get it out and begin to fix a trailer I just bought used

@Jasonoid 3 года назад

Gotta start somewhere! There are many videos on RU-vid that teach basic welding skills. Good luck on your future project!

@elizabethclifton4300 Год назад

What’s the specs on the mesh you used?

@ftroop211 Год назад

Great video, what kind of welder did you use, I want to try and weld some things on my trailer.

@Jasonoid Год назад

110v harbor freight Flux welder.

@davidstill754 2 года назад

You did a good job! I think your gonna wish you made your tailgate about 2ft longer though. It appears way to steep as is

@Jasonoid 2 года назад

You're right, It's pretty steep! Surprisingly it hasn't been a problem. Still can get my tiller, snowblower and 4wheeler up on it without any issues.

@davidstill754 2 года назад

@@Jasonoid of course you can. I'm just saying pushing any of those items would have been much easier without such a steep angle. Trying to dolly furniture or basically anything becomes more of a job. You did a job on your trailer, just saying if the tailgate wasn't at such a steep angle than loading anything becomes easier and the easier it is the better it is. Imo Of course you can always raise the tounge up higher if need be

@Jasonoid 2 года назад

Thanks David, that's true, easier is better. I will think about that next time I build one of these tailgates!

@tpotsstudio5195 2 года назад

Where did you get the mesh

@Jasonoid 2 года назад

Local metal supply, found from a Google search.

@f3arful 3 года назад

I liked everything besides the wood. Wood looks great but doesn't last. Shouldve gotten yourself some 4x8 galvanized 16 gauge metal and reinforce your pre existent tubing. Also if you're getting rid of the rust you should've cleaned up the axle. Besides that nice job.

@Jasonoid 3 года назад

I live in a desert so wood won't rot if treated and stored properly. Sheet metal would have been much more expensive and added lots of additional weight. I'm sure there are some cases it's better but just not for my exact case. Thanks for watching and sharing your input!

@mikebradford7780 3 года назад

Wow! The trailer looks awesome! I love every bit of it. What is you opinion of the welder from a Harbor Freight? I would like to have a small one for the shop. Thanks

@Joejunksitjunkremoval Год назад

Great video, awesome restoration work. Where did you purchase the expanded metal? And how much did it cost you in total as far as the expanded mesh? Thanks in advance

@Kyle-ev4fk Год назад

Good work. How is everything holding up? Putting the mesh on the bottom of the tongue framing would have given you a built in tray to store things in. Also making the joint tight between the gate and deck sides helps a lot when using a trailer for dump runs.

@charlescoker7752 2 года назад

Shame these trailer makers do not paint the metal parts of the trailers you cannot see. If they would put a good paint on them. When the boards needed to be replace. The metal underneath would not be in such bad shape. If I buy another. I may remove the boards, and paint the metal. Then put it back together!

@Jasonoid 2 года назад

You're right! They last much longer with paint on the whole trailer. Luckily I live in a dry climate so we don't get quite as much rust here

@charlescoker7752 2 года назад

@@Jasonoid I've got a 5x10 trailer . Have the boards removed. Will start on the rust removal soon. I'm in a hot humid climate. Metal has a lot of scaly rust. But still seems sound enough. I was in the Navy. We used Needle guns to remove scaly rust build up. I have one.

@Jasonoid 2 года назад

Good luck on your project, I enjoy this type of work!

@dhache1195 3 года назад

Nice job and sturdy (for the category) trailer that will last. But, one thing is missing; grommet (rubber and/or plastic) where wires pass through metal to avoid short ;-) Enjoy your trailer.

@Jasonoid 3 года назад

Thanks for the tips!

@williamodom2580 Год назад

I see you’ve got your little helper 😊 reminds me when I was working on projects when my son was that age he always wanted to help

@garymucher4082 Год назад

I realize this is an older video, but I have to say you've done an amazing refurbishing project. The only thing I would suggest is, every hole you drilled through metals needs a grommet to protect the wires. The metal edges of the holes will eventually cut through the wire insulation and short out the light circuits. Other than that very nice... Thumbs Up!

@utahyork3338 3 года назад

What treatment did you use on the wood? You mentioned stain and a sealer?

@Jasonoid 3 года назад

It was an oil based "redwood" colored stain & sealer from home depot. It has really held up well. Still looks brand new. I can't remember the brand though, I will look around and let you know if I find the container in my storage.

What is the welder specs?

@Jasonoid 2 года назад

Just a cheap flux welder from harbor Frieght, it won't weld anything over 3/8th inch but works well for anything under that.

@bmac01049 3 года назад

Nice job! I've got the same type of trailer to refurbish and I'm glad you posted this video. It will be a good guide for my project. Do you remember how much paint you used and did you replace the bearings? Thanks again

@Jasonoid 3 года назад

Bearing were recently replaced so no need to do that, the paint was probably 5 or 6 cans of primer and the same amount for black paint.

@bmac01049 3 года назад

Thanks. I haven't been quite so lucky. I'm changing the shackle bolts an bushings today but the trailer was given to me so I can,t complain.
