Dude, he beat you...

Anybody that lives where it snows needs to put the angle iron treads on upside down so they can’t fill up and freeze into big slippery ice cubes.

[@goldies_garage]

Oh, that makes sense, thanks for sharing.

[@tazzthedoodle7861]

I'm in Canada and that was my thought on the angle facing up would trap water and rust out right away. The small drain holes would be plugged solid with gravel and mud all the time. Still a nice job tho

@@tazzthedoodle7861 Perks of living in the desert areas. Never even crossed my mind. Had a few storms no problems with water, but if there was ice I can see it filling up.

Looks sick guys, great work!

[@goldies_garage]

Glad you like it!

[@johnswetnam4513]

How much weight are thinking it will hold

[@goldies_garage]

Honestly, I'm not sure, We welded it to the rear main structure. So far we put a 98 Dodge Cummins on it and everything looked solid. Thanks for the question.

[@elcomandante9299]

Downhill welding? 🤔

[@goldies_garage]

If it works it works?😅

[@williambanas2831]

You really need to secure your gas cylinders. If one should happen to get knocked over and break at the valve, you'll have a missile that can go through a block wall.

[@goldies_garage]

I agree, It fell already and took the welder with it. Now it has double straps. Everything still works. 🥳

A dovetail is a woodworking joint, has nothing to do with a trailer.

[@goldies_garage]

What do you call it?

[@Bits-of-Bytes]

@@goldies_garage Exactly what you called it, a dovetail. Good work.

[@goldies_garage]

@@Bits-of-Bytes Thank you.
