What about covering those wheel arches to avoid rocks lifting up and hitting the cars?

Yes

I own a trailer with a hydraulic system. It goes stupid low to the ground. Maybe they’ll use that instead

@Will_JJHP 3 года назад

Only thing I would've done differently is paint over the rust with an epoxy based rust encapsulator before applying the bed liner. Otherwise, nice change of pace "build"!

Waiting for the "We SLAMMED our trailer with air suspension!"

@1one3_Racing 3 года назад

Its 100% the best way to do it. I've built several car trailers of different design for loading low cars. I tried tilt and one where the axles slide forward and one like this with no suspension. On a small truck with hydraulics we even made a hook/slide that lay the bed on the ground and you could drive on with just 50mm clearance. But there's always issues. Like scraping and not being able to open doors. With roll cage and full containment seat, not being able to open the door is a huge hassle. Remote airbag is well worth the cost. Squat the trailer, drive on, raise it to max height, get out, drop it to ride height. If you get hung up you just raise it up. Etc.

The J hooks should be in line with the straps instead of off on an angle. That way the ratchet straps will last longer.

@MeAlone44 3 года назад

Having seen what Trailer tires can do when they blow, I would suggest you put some steel between the cars and the wheel well instead of leaving it open. Nice refresh overall!

@juancabeza5809 3 года назад

Put a cover over the winch to keep it from getting wet when it rains! With velcro so you can get access easily when you're going to use it! Also, an area somewhere close to the winch to keep a tarp (folded) to cover your cars to prevent sun/rain/snow(?) away!!! That's my contribution Ricky!

@Dodds_Dirtbikes 3 года назад

That trailer is sick! I would put a sheet of metal on the inside of the fenders to protect the car in case of a blowout. I would also put a tool box on it for the straps.

@RunningSolo 3 года назад

Ahh.. yeah this makes sense... everyone else keeps saying this because of rocks potentially hitting the car but I have never had that happen... but a blow out would definitely make damages .... thanks for the tip.

FYI when you are welding with solid core mig wire you want to weld downhill so you wont get the dripping metal. cool build

@CurtisDrew1 3 года назад

On my bolt on "D" ring tie downs I cut some strips of rubber/ plastic mud flap1/2 inch X width of the bolt down strap of mub flaps to fill the gap between the "D" ring and the trailer frame they are bolted to. This give the "D" rings some cushion so that they don't rattle going down the road, but still allow the "D" rings to swivel to the angles they needed. And they last for years. Currently my mud flap anti rattle strips are going on 25 years...

Connect the air line to the plasma cutter. It will work a lot better 👍

You can also hook it into your tail lights through the battery. That way everytime you hook up the light's, you charge up the battery...

I’d love to see y’all make some custom toolboxes for it and mount them on top of the fenders to store all of the spare straps and accessories.

@JAM4382 3 года назад

matching wheel's as many have mentioned, a battery tender, a cool add on would be a tire rack so you can carry an extra set of wheels and a trailer spare. also a rack to carry extra fuel cans

@HanRaph 3 года назад

The four wheels should all match man! Love this type of vids keep them coming.

@jasonmorales1846 3 года назад

A safety suggestion.You should put the 3 marker lights at the rear of the trailer and 1 on left and right sides at rear as well.

@JessieGuevara 3 года назад

What about trailer lights?? It would be cool to see what kinda trailer lights you plan to installed on your new trailer and the process of installing it.

@philt2k3 3 года назад

That's a dope trailer setup. I think you should add a solar panel to maintain the battery when you aren't using the trailer. And maybe grip tape down on that diamond plate because when it gets wet I can assume it will be fairly slick. Maybe with that tubular steel you had add some bracing under the winch plate, add more Drings just for more securement options.. And lastly finished off the area on the trailer upfront under the winch with diamond plate.

@turk71385 3 года назад

Mount a box on the tongue to hold your straps and winch accessories. Just something like the battery box on the other side.

@CharleyMcGee 3 года назад

The diamond plate looks nice, but still gets REALLY slick if it is wet. I'd paint that and throw some sand in the paint to provide some grip. Also, I'd build a battery box under the trailer. The optima won't mind being on its side, so a maintenance door in the floor of the trailer will help prevent battery theft. Same for the winch, really. I'd build a shroud for it and mount the fairlead to that. Make it MUCH more difficult for someone to steal it.

@Tristoo 3 года назад

Somehow breaking cutoff disks, mig welding on top of thick rust, replacing heavy duty c channel with flimsy square tubing that's half the height. also hoping you didn't just put bed liner over all that rust. aaand you just welded over the bed liner for the battery plate (and the rust under the bed liner as well?). I also seriously doubt that thin plate will hold up after the winch has tried to pull a few cars onto the trailer (though it's clear you won't use it, afterall you haven't for 10 years but hey smart move for the sponsorship money). Regardless, the editing is good and so was the mood on the video. But mate you pretty much fucked everything else up lmao.

@curlracing276 3 года назад

You guys really need to use a face shield when using a grinder with a cut off wheel not just safety glasses. I also suggest getting a oxy acetylene torch set. It will cut thicker material than that plasma cutter and can also be used to heat metal for bending as well as welding I your mig was to shit out on you.

@brianapel2341 3 года назад

You're on your trailer in the front where you put the winch could have went back just a little bit for not much but underneath that opening you should have put expanded metal in there so you can put your gear in there and have like tops so it locks up so it's always on the trailer
