Thank you for bleeding on this, it will not have been in vein, this is exactly the kind of video I was looking for as I have been wanting to raise my covered trailer’s roof 6 inches, and now thanks to you video I can work out my steps. Thanks for a great video.
Thanks for the video. I just had my 6x12 roof trashed by a rotted tree that fell on it. Never liked the 6' roof height as I'm 6' 1" also. I'm going to convert mine into a camping/hunting trailer and raise the roof also. It was originally my contactor tool trailer. Great idea on raising the roof!
I would use TPO termination bar along the seam horizontally. Would look nice and take out some of the waves in the metal as well as provide a place to seal it.
Omg I need to see how this all turned out I have a 5X6 and I’m 5”7 and my kids are taller then I am so it makes it so they don’t ever want to get in it but I NEEEED this to work it’s my business and how I make my livelihood but it’s so uncomfortable to be in because you have to be in a stooped position the entire time your in there but I have to keep on I will never let these girls of mines ever see me quit everrrr ❤
Good morning buddy and my best friend trying to do that to our toy hauler raise the roof so we can have clearance to put the off-road buggy in I am forwarding the link so he can see your video👍🏽🤙🏽😊
Hey! Thanks for the , exactly what i was looking for, I want to raise m'y cargo trailer 16 inches. Now m'y question is to maximise the strengt of the New structure, how important is IT where i Cut the existant structure? I Sée you have Cut IT quite close to the Roof? Let me know Thanks
In my opinion, which can be taken with a grain of salt, you want to make your cut line at the top or the bottom. You do not want to do it in the middle. That being said, if you do your cut line at the top, then it will make it easier to lift the roof with minimal complications. You just need to weld in a piece of metal in each corner to guide the roof on the way upward.✌🏻
@@wrongwaygarage Thank you for you'r quick response ! Like you'r humoristic talent also 🤗So, if the welding is well done, the roof will be solid no matter where the Cut is done , is That Wright 🤔
6x12… they put them together with stamped 16ga studs. I actually explained the construction and purpose behind some of the materials, but then it all got edited out because the video was too long😖
Unfortunately, we did not get the contract that we were going to use this food truck for… We do still plan to finish it, but it is not a high priority like it was at the time. Thanks for watching, I promise that when this does get finished, I will definitely post more videos about it!✌🏻
Honestly, I don’t remember exactly. I think I spent about 3 days on it actually working. A lot of planning and preparation went into it in advance though. Also, I work 3 jobs. So it probably could have been done in a weekend with proper planning and not filming for TH-cam. Recording takes more time than anyone expects. ✌🏻
I'm so worried about someone breaking into my trailer.Or stealing it that I did not put my band logo on it instead.I put toxic waste removal company graphics.
@@wrongwaygarage crazy damn weather lately for sure! southern kansas here, so the cold is kinda just a thing you get used to over the years. truth be told I'm grateful to be where I am, with a shop I can tinker in, and the health to do so. Supposed to be right at 80 up here next week, try not to have heat stroke down there bud!
@@mikewood1421 😂 this time of year, the temps bounce 40° one day to the next. Makes it hard to get adjusted to cold weather when it might be warm tomorrow.
@@kshollywood For me, it was only the cost of the materials that I didn’t already have. If I had to do it again, I would imagine it to be around $300-350 for the materials. Maybe even less than that. ✌🏻

You did real good with the torsion spring!
Thank you sir!!! AND as an added benefit, I got to keep all 10 of my fingers!
You look like a more masculine version of Andy from "according to Jim" 😆
Good Job!
Awesome!!!
Okay....I KNEW it could be done. But now......could it be done like a popup with clear sheeting? I have a picture in my head!
Of course it can. Anything is possible. You would need 4 actuators and a totally different design, but it CAN be done. 👍🏻
That is if you want it to pop up. If it doesn’t need to pop up then just use plexiglass/lexan instead of metal. 👍🏻
I like this guy
I like the fact that you like that guy!😀✌🏻

Unfortunately,priorities got moved around so the actual food trailer has not been finished yet. But the extra headroom is wonderful. 👍🏻
Thanks for the video. What size square tubing did you use?
If I remember correctly, it was 16ga, 1” square tubing. The thickness was the same as the existing studs and the size fit inside them nicely 👍🏻
@@wrongwaygarage Thanks for the reply
@@billysmith3581 I do my best to answer questions… providing I see them! 😂✌🏻

Thanks for sharing it! The concept is the same regardless of the purpose, I would think. Hope this video helps!
@@wrongwaygarage your welcome buddy I like the awesome content you put out With some lighthearted comedic value in it 😊🔥

@@roberthebert2365 pretty much. But a few inches from the top would make the process easier. ✌🏻
I always wondered how these were assembled. 10' long?

No part 2?

@@mjmaikido thank you! 👍🏻
Great video, Alot of work for a little height.
Agreed. But you’d be amazed how much of a difference it made! ✌🏻
The wu tang reference had me rollin.

@@sendforacar9323 😂👍🏻 solid plan!
How did you know that it's snowing here
😂✌🏻 I waited to post this until I thought it was snowing there… wait. Where is there?

@@rockobukkako813 I am not sure if that comment should make me laugh or if I should cry because of the potential accuracy of the comment! 😂
I think you have 7 viewers sir...
I’m just trying not to be overly-optimistic… don’t want 7 to turn into 4. 😂😖
....stupid snow....stupid unheated shop.... nice job raising the roof there!
If it makes you feel any better, we will be back in the 20s tomorrow night…😖
