Dump Trailer Build Pt 2 (& Giveaway update) 

Looks good. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Your welding looks a lot better than what I would do brother. Looks great!!

The trailer is coming along nicely. Another great video 👍👍

Merry Christmas j and family nice job on the trailer can't wait to see more.

I have a modified engine hoist welded to a swivel base attached to the tongue of my dump and it is a life saver.

Nice work. Your welds look pretty good.

Great job. I have 4 dumps. I got rid of battery and ran cable from truck battery. Best thing I did. Dam battery were always going dead. Couldnt keep charged.

Hey, I like it uphill looks good to me! When in doubt, weld it out! Or in my case , Weld a lot! Looks good!

i did all the welding on the fl70 flatbed project outside....shop is off of a lake and wind was always an issue. this is coming along nicely. i like the idea of using a hydraulic jack. i would not suggest putting the battery under the dump bed. when it goes dead (and it will at the absolute worst time) you wont be able to get to it. i would also install "anderson connectors" with cables coming from the tow vehicle's battery with the other end connected to this trailer battery. you will never have a low battery due to a not enough charging amperage coming from that little 10 gauge wire in the 7 pin connector. cant wait to see the gussets you add to that hitch plate. nicely done. it is looking great.

Merry Christmas to you and your family bud 🎄great video looking forward to how this trailer is going to end up 😎

knuckle boom is the word you were looking for. Nice build!

Keep the videos coming! The trailer is coming along great!

Hey Merry Christmas to you and yours bud. I've not commented as much lately but I haven't stopped watching, keep up the good work and God speed.

The rock music is a whole lot more pleasant than the hipster saxophone DJ music.Any who, great work. I’ve been debating whether to build or just buy a already built trailer.

Hope you and yours had an awesome Christmas and Happy New Year, can't wait for the next video.

Don't worry about vertical down with er70** solid wire. The arc stays in front of the pool so when it starts to sag, it's already cooling and looks so much better. I used a single pass on my trailer doing the exact same thing you're doing with the tongue. Too late for you, but it might help a viewer.

I would put a six inch flat bar on the back side of channel bar being used for fram . This would be the best bracing possible for it ,and willnot let frame give at all .

She's looking solid Hope everyone has a great Christmas

TnKs for share, awesome job, I followed to the end the of the videos

Nice build. Welding is awesome. For me, my weld is not that good. Need to practice more. Good day hoss.. 👍

Nice trailer frame, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🥳🥳

Good looking trailer. New Subscriber‼️👍👍. Vinny 🇺🇸

Looking good man!

Less yak more tacks. Great looking build.

I would use 2 jacks with the Gentry crain going on the front

Merry Christmas, great job

I was head of Research and development at Texas Pride trailers. I was there 15 years until my back injuries eliminated me. I know everything you need to know. When I say everything I mean every thing. A lot of our models I created. Including a double deck class 8 7 car hauler.

Good job ...just for the next one use the bigger hunger kit the 7k slipper springs

Are those 7k axles ? If yes , you should use 6 leaf spring packs rated at 3,500 lbs each !

Hi J just found your Chanel. After watching both videos, I would like to suggest that you get some 6” x 1/8 strap and box in the tongue channel to at least six inches back of the bend. Reasoning is,that is a long tongue and channel dose not have a very good side or twist load ability. Don’t know about you, but I know that if it will fit it will get put in the trailer (what ever “it” happens to be ) in other words it’ll get over loaded real easy. Just my 2 cents worth. Thanks for sharing your videos, and a Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄

Amigo, excelente tu canal, muy ideal para mí por todo lo relacionado con carrocería.

Looking good

Looking good!

What brand of pipe stands are those? Do you like them? Getting ready to build an equipt trailer and need 4 myself. Thanks-love your channel and work.

Seasons greetings to you and your family we all make ugly welds don't feel bad be waiting for the next video

Now I want a new dump trailer

👍🏻 Merry Christmas!

Hay Mr. J trailer looks good , was wondering why the wind couldn't be blowing to weld the tongue? Merry Christmas to you and your family!! Remember the reason for the season!!!

Great work, and nice welds, looking forwards to #3. Just a small tip on the videoing, try to slow down and show us more and don't move the camera so sporadically. Thanks.

I built one dump trailer with a winch pulling a custom arm with a pivot in the middle and a large wheel on the opposite end making contact onto a plate on the underside of the dump to do the lifting. I am building a smaller one nowand am going to try using a landing gear from a travel trailer as the lifting device. I have pictures of the first one at this time. Pictures of the current one I'll have soon.

8:30 put a solid member (top of c-channel to bottom of c-channel) steel / stiffener in that ''moment connection"... not the ''brace'' you described and if you can, make it three times wider than the bracket below... it will distribute better for you... And, at your ''26 degree" do that same there ... this is where your forces are ''redirecting from" (plus that front weld)... Thought on your first video, if you would have switch one axle around, they might have resolved their 1/4" differences... Take care.

I like the longer tongue on trailer but your axles are so far back do you think that it’s gonna be too heavy with and without it loaded. Whatever your hauling trailer with is gonna have a ton of tongue weight. I can’t really tell exactly from the videos but it just appears that way to me. I have plans to build trailer similar but I’m planning on a 16’ with low sides. Looks pretty solid tho

Surely bending those 2 pieces of channel to create the A frame is putting a weakness in the build.

Merry Christmas!

Good job

i wish my dump trailer was made this way

Buenas una pregunta cuales son las medidas del tiron y como ases el corte para aserles el dobles??

It is my near future plan to get a trailer put an arch on the back do some logging get a wood-mizer or Alaskan chainsaw mill

Merry Christmas.

Were you trying to describe a knuckleboom crane?

you welded to the frame across the drawbar? the HAZ will be prone to stress fracturing at that point.

How much is into this trailer money wise? How much were axles and what are they rated for? Thanks great video

Looks great. My only real question is does that tongue seem really long? Especially considering how far back those axles are? It may be just the perspective from the video but that seems like a lot of tongue weight?

Marry Christmas and happy New year

55 and chilly! Lucky!

dont put the battarys and pump under the bed if you have a problem its a pain in the as* to deal with as you have no way to raise the bed up to get to it we had a dump trailer at my old work that was setup that way the pump failed and the way it was put in we couldnt even get to the lines we had to cut the crossmember that held the hydro cyl. and lift the bed with a skid loader.

how do you know what size steel to use? do they sell plans for building a trailer.thanks

Merry Christmas

Where did you buy your parts from? Axles, springs, brakes, etc.

My husband loves YOUR VIDEOS so much that he interrupted me watching MY VIDEOS to watch yours 😂😂😂♥️♥️ - Anthony McClain is his name!

How do you like your 252 wire machine ? I've had to put in several drive wheels and leads because dust I'm guessing

I would like to sugest you use a 9,000Lb jack in case the trailer is loaded.

From experience don’t put the battery under the bed. When the battery dies and you have a load on the trailer there’s no good way to charge them.

How do you determine how much rear over hang you need for the dump bed angle?

What about an electric jack, instead of hydraulic? Wire is cheaper than hose

Hey j thanks for the video bro nice work I certainly wish I could do uphill weld that look like that your welds look awesome merry Christmas to you and your family have a good one also an idea for you giveaway would be if we send you a email with our name on you tube maybe that would help just a thought 👍👍👍👍

I have a question. Why channel instead of 2 × 6 hollow section for the frame?

Is There A Material List & Plans For This? Thanks

Marry Christmas

If u can’t really weld, then I don’t don’t know what to call what I do with a welder!😀😀😀 But it won’t be welding!

Hi J.Hey How was the weather Up there when you filmed the video.BTW. HAPPY HOLIDAYS to You and Your Family.

Sometimes pretty welds don’t cut it merry Christmas guy

Keep on you tube this time

Mi lak vidio ❤️👍👍💯 des gut

I don't see part #3

Hey I’m Dylan Pete’s nephew

The coupler is up to high.

I'm in cool give away

Класс матер сваево дело

Truck

How many dump trailers have you built? Proportions seem really out of wack. The tongue looks too long and the rear axle looks really close to the tailgate. I'm excited to see a channel that covers content like this but seems like there are some fatal flaws here to be worked out. If your not familiar with trailers you will want 60% of the weight in front of the axles and 40% in the rear. Looks like only 10-20% on the rear currently.

I don't see part #

I like this build. Hate all the talking and talking. Keep up the good work (fabrication)

First

Enter me.

I think he had Covid and didn't know it .

The tongue should be out of 8” channel. And 82” long. Measure back 32” from the front of the frame. That’s the ending point of the tongue. Then add 8” channel from where the tongue stops under the frame all the way to the first hanger. The channel will weld to the front hanger. You will fail if you don’t follow my instructions.

RU-vid

This trailer Can be built up in 3.5; hours if you know what to do

You are doing a nice job , but your axles are to far back . Hope DOT doesn't see that . 12 foot bot with a 6 foot = 18 foot . You should have nothing less than 6 ft from the end of box to the back of the tire for your axles . Sorry old truck driver talking .

Omg he is still talking about unnecessary stuff. Long video.

I understand talking a little about what your doing but I also feel to much BS talking

Too much talking, now enough crafting.

dude your camera work is nauseating tri pod, get rid of the head camera i quit watching.

Dimenzions

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas
