    I have watched you for many years, Ian, and to find that you battle the shop clutter like I do, is such a pleasant surprise. Thanks for showing us that side of you. I really like your rolling parts storage for upcoming projects. I need that, too, and wish you'd show us a bit more of those shelves. Also, awesome video on the trailer brakes and fenders. My fenders need replacement, too, and you've shown me what I need to do to make that happen. Thanks!!

    You could make a removable tire mount that goes in the stake pockets. Make it longer than the pocket so you have room to put holes for a pin below it. Then if it’s in the way for a particular haul. Move it to another pocket.

    Jody at Gravely trailers built my car hauler custom and one of the spare tire mounts has a spindle welded into it and a live hub is attached as the spare tire mount and if I blow a bearing or hub on the road, it gives me a full replacement. Sweet setup

    You can get replacement spindles made to weld into the axle tube. It makes a great spare tire carrier to use a spindle and hub with the added benefit of having a spare hub on hand without taking up space.

  • @Joe___R
    @Joe___R 2 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    The best thing to do when working on a big job is to keep an empty toolbox for the tools you are using on that job. At the end of the job or the end of the day. You clean & put away all the tools you had out. This keeps you better organized and prevents you from losing tools. The way you left your shop, there is no way you were able to quickly find half of the tools you had out. Keeping organized as you go does actually save you time in the long run because you are not wasting time looking for tools or parts.

    Ian, I'm curious why you didn't add brakes to the front axle while you had this apart. I know you're not in the Rockies, but I would imagine that a single pair of 10 x 2.25 brakes leave a lot to be desired in the braking department on a trailer that size.

      @@jefflong5661 You make a solid point! Totally depends on geography. Big mountains change everything. Too much braking capacity is barely enough in the mountains sometimes. I experienced a harrowing scenario coming down Vail Summit pulling a trailer in a snow storm in 1996. Still sticks with me! Fortunately, I'm in the relatively flat NC mountains now where we don't have to worry about big snowfall nor long steep mountain passes.

      @@branchandfoundry560 I forgot to add that it's also a law in my state (NV) that all trailers rated over 3,000 lbs need to have brakes on all wheels (NRS 484D.250).

    So the wood is still structurally strong and it's more of an appearance issue. Take the wood off and turn it over. Give it a little washing them stain or paint.

    Can you explain why you and some other content creators have dark or black ceilings? I would think a white ceiling would have better light for video production.

      The black looks better when filming for "real tv" stuff. You can always make it lighter by adding light.....but making it blacker is hard

      @@BigTireGarage OK. That makes more sense. I suppose that having a big white ceiling might make it harder to get a good white balance without washing out the subject. Thanks!

    Do you prefer those style ramps on a trailer?

      @BigTireGarage  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I do and I don't, they are great to prevent the trailer from lifting when loading...they are also crazy strong...but sometimes when I haul longer vehicles I have to load them a little further forward than I like...I plan to add another pin so I can fix that

    I see you use casters on almost everything you can in the shop and that’s a good idea. Do you get HF casters or do you go for a particular brand, any noticeable quality difference in between companies?

      I have found the small steel casters seem to work the best...I just look for casters with the highest load rating
